Going to Leap Academy University Charter School, I have noticed how huge they are on academics. The administration can be a little tough sometimes but they do have amazing teachers who build connections with the students. The sports team may need a little bit of work but no matter what they all stick together as a team.

Leap Academy is a great school to prepare your child for college readiness. By introducing into many opportunities starting from first grade. They have a early college program for seniors that allows them to take college course meaning by time they graduate they will have college credits by time they start their freshman year of college.

Although there are always room for improvements, the direction the school district is taking is going to showcase the benefits of the school and also the ability to attract and meet the needs of current and new students.

This school is miss guided when engaging with the children and parents they are in full compliance with passing kids whom academics and ability to go to the next grade level is not there, Leap academy in our opinion is about reputation instead of education first.
