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.

The roof is leaky, and stained. There is only 2 hallways. There mascot is a bumblebee which is just weird. However the teachers are nice.

I like the school but I wish that the school had more academic opportunities, such as more electives and AP classes for more of a challenge. Luckily, the school is small and will hopefully grow for future students to enjoy more educational opportunities.

I believe at this school they have a lot of problems with keeping people here. Because of this many kids they bring in are from other school districts. Some teachers are definitely there for you while others could care less if you pass or fail. If you want to go to a school where people are brought here to get things then this is the place for you, but if you believe people should have to earn it you won't be happy.

The school is steadily declining. Choose another district that has better ratings.

Academy Schoos are in need of new leadership. Academics are on the decline and the athletic department is unacceptable. Ask around before you move your children to this school.

The teachers and staff are phenomenal! This is a close-knit school that very much care about personal integrity and academic success. We couldn't be more pleased!!
