I have enjoyed my time at Steel City Academy. The teacher did a great job preparing us for college. Parents were informed with each activity. The students tried their best at the task that were given.

I've gone here for 5 years and the school has changed a lot throughout my time there. It was fun 8th grade year and it had unique practices that set it apart from other schools but now it is like a basic school. They are more short staffed now so we had to learn topics from people who didn't know how to keep the topic.

My experience at SCA has been great. Since I have been going to Steel City they have help me progress academically and they also give students the attention and help they they need. Steel city is a small school with a big heart for helping student show who they really are and pushing them to reach their goals. Steel City is not just a school it a family. GO FLAMES!!!
