I've been going to University Academy since I was in kindergarten, and change has been a huge thing. There's been teachers that have come and gone, but the kids never stopped showing up and getting their work done whether their teacher was there or not.

What I like about University Academy is that they give a good amount of work to the point where it is not overwhelming with the work and the teachers give great instructions about how to do it and if you have questions they are more than likely available. Another thing I also like is that the classes are small so it is more time for 1-on-1 with students and teachers.

On the exterior it looks as if this is a great school. It used to be amazing!The reality is there's a school full of African American students being taught by teachers that could care less about them. Teacher turnover at the lower school is ridiculously high. Middle school teachers are cold,uncaring...
