College readiness resources are great! Staff are very helpful during this process. Many opportunities laying around, staff give students a chance to improve themselves in many ways career-wise with many informative electives.
The 2020 goal was ¨Equity for all¨ which the district did well in. There were food, technology, health(both mental & physical) resources offered to ALL students and the families of students.
The ACPS 2025 goal is ¨Empowering all students to thrive in a diverse and ever-changing world¨They set this goal this year, with all the progressive movements coming to light. I feel the district (being made up of extremely diverse populations whether it is ethnically, racially, socio-economically, religiously, etc.) I feel that the district will be able to reach this goal of empowering all students. I already see ways that they are doing so. They have given students a chance to rename schools that were named after pro-segregationists, given less represented students more college readiness resources, and take advice from STUDENTS, not only parents on what steps need to be taken to better our school system.
I rate a 4/5, because like everything in the world, we arent perfect.

My experiences with Alexandria city public schools have been great. There is a big support system and many opportunities at my high school. We have many sports, and after school programs for all students. Being the only high school in Alexandria, I would say my school is diverse and very accepting of all students that would like to enroll there. We have many groups and supports for special needs students and for people that can't really afford things at home. Most students that may need extra help can ask the administration for support for the family. Anyone that needs support with mental and academic help is provided through many academies and counselors. The college and career center is very helpful for rising and current seniors applying to college. They help you with all the steps and materials you need to start college applications and scholarships. My personal experience with the college and career center throughout my senior year has been a great experience so far and on track.
