Ratings and data
Academic information
Alexander Elementary currently holds a Fraser Institute rating of 3.7 out of 10, ranking 926th out of 1015 elementary schools in British Columbia. Its previous 5-year average was 4.6. This indicates that the school performs significantly below the provincial average academically, with students likely facing challenges in foundational reading, writing, and numeracy skills on standardized Foundation Skills Assessments (FSA).

School-run details
Special programs
Editorial review summary
Parent feedback highlights a very strong, tight-knit community feel. Because there are no other parks within walking distance, the school's playground acts as a central gathering hub for neighborhood families before school, after school, and on weekends. Parents highly appreciate the wrap-around support services, particularly the 5-day-a-week Breakfast Club run by staff and volunteers, and the Hand in Hand before/after-school care. The free StrongStart program is also frequently praised by parents of toddlers. Some parents note strict rules regarding drop-off and pick-up times due to limited yard supervision.
Common positives
- Exceptional wrap-around care including a daily Breakfast Club and Hand in Hand before/after-school care.
- Hosts a free StrongStart early learning program for children ages 0-5.
