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 am a student at this school and although I have been doing well this year with grades. These teachers and Administration is terrible, although it wasn't my math 3 teacher's fault. She's not mentally and generally ready to teach us. She's freshly out of college and was ready to teach 7th grade until one of the teachers left and she had to fill in. In her words "I don't know what I'm doing,I'm learning with yall". Even with us bringing this up administration doesn't care to bring an end to this or figure out for their "students" to actually learn. This school falling apart as we speak.

The overall environment is not bad, but the administration is terrible and do not care about the children or the teachers. I am challenged in certain classes but others not. My best experience was getting to grow closer to some of my teachers and bonding with them.

My child has been at Phoenix Academy for two years and has excelled in many ways. The staff is very professional and caring. They really work with the kids and make sure they get and enjoy learning. The uniforms are awesome and we could not be any happier anywhere else.

Administration is the problem, far more concerned about overall enrollment to get more money for their charter than for the individual student. The principal is horrible and has the worst interpersonal skills when dealing with parents

They don't do anything if your child is discriminated against. They is not fair and equal treatment. They have kids bringing or threatening to bring guns to school and want to keep quite about it. Do not send your child here.

My son attended Phoenix Academy for 4 years, but this school year has been the most difficult — especially for my kindergartener, who did not attend Pre-K.From the start, communication with the school has been poor. It took over a month just to schedule a meeting about my child’s academic progress....
