- **4/5** — Pros and cons, but overall a positive experience: I have mixed feelings about our time at the Royal Alexandra and Albert School. The school's facilities and co-curricular programs were excellent, and my child benefited from the equestrian centre and other activities. However, we experienced some challenges with communication and support, which made it difficult for us to feel fully connected to the school community. *(May 2021)*
