We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been going to this school for 7 years. The teachers have been pretty good throughout my experience, but this year we don't have a science teacher and some of the other teachers don't seem experienced enough to do their job. I find the academics fairly easy while also challenging.

Leading Edge Academy Gilbet Early College is a great school for those looking for a more immersive and advanced learning environment. While it's a very small school, the opportunities for those as young as 2/3 and as old as 18 are endless. This school will introduce your child into many different topics and hobbies, with unique elective options for middle and highschool. The art program here is unlike most in the state.

What a wonderful experience for our high school aged daughter. She has primarily utilized the online program but has taken a regular math class with GEC.
