I love how the community is like a big family. Most of the students have grown up together which makes attending school even better. The one downside of attending a small school is that because there are not a lot of students, it's hard not to collide with some of them.

I liked how helpful the teachers are, and how they all care about the students furthering their education by getting into a post secondary school.

I've attended the academy since the first grade all the way to the twelfth, And throughout the years, I've had a great experience. The Academy does a great job when it comes to college readiness, staff is beyond caring, patience and take time with each and every student to achieve full understanding of whatever. The culture of the schools is extraordinary, everyone for most of the part gets along, and its a big family. The Academy also offers just enough academic classes for the student to enjoy. When it comes to the clubs a... read more

The Academy is a perfect example of the impact a devoted, energetic staff, a challenging yet interesting curriculum, and a dedication to bettering the lives of it's students can have. I consider myself an observant person, and it's clear to me that the staff and administrators genuinely enjoy teaching, and it really shows.

The Academy helped me find who I am. It is one of those places that pushes you to be a better you, while surrounding you with people who truly care about you.

The Academy is more than just a school, it's welcoming center for people who want to challenge th... read more

Some secondary teachers are amazing, but turnover is so high, you don't get much time to get to know them until they move on.

There are great things about this school and it has a lot of potential. Hiring and retention has not been satisfactory for the students. Teachers don't teach the content, then leave during the school year. It might be that support is needed from the administrative staff and/or established teachers on how to better fit in. When new students are allowed to break student conduct rules, it is extremely frustrating for the students who are good students. Too much attention is paid to those that are disruptive.

There are a few great teachers who care about the students and provide a challenging curriculum. There have been poor hiring decisions in both middle and high school where students are left without a teacher during the school year and the full curriculum has not been taught. In these instances, students were given an A and allowed to advance to the next level of the class the following year.
