The experience at civic leadership academy is mostly great it's just unfortunate that some teachers aren't that great at teaching as well as the small availability of ap classes. But for a school to prepare you for college it does a very good job.

It was a small school however that's what made it so great. Everyone knew each other so it was like one big family. The teachers treated us like their kids and the guidance counselor guided us as if our future was theirs. I was able to graduate and get into stony brook because of the guidance I received from civic leadership academy. They also provide you with so many opportunities along with school that help build your college resume and make you succeed in the future. I will always hold CIVIC LEADERSHIP ACADEMY very dear to me because of the memories I have with it and the way it has shaped me.
