- **4/5** — Generally Positive Experience, but Some Challenges: While our child had a generally positive experience at Alexandra School, we did encounter some challenges with communication and consistency. The school has a lot to offer, including a caring environment and a range of activities. However, we sometimes felt that our child's needs weren't being fully met, and we had to advocate for them more than we would have liked. *(May 2022)*
