My favorite parts of NCTA were the Sciences, experiencing experiments in the lab, and performing dissections.

The cafeteria only serves two options each day. Usually a main course or a sandwich. Peanut butter or anything with nuts is never served because a little kid has a deathly allergy to nuts. A lot of kids complain about the food. Most people like the days when chicken alfredo is served. Most residential kids complain about weight gain after moving onto The Farm. A handful of kids bring their lunch to school for a healthy alternative.

I am now an alumni to North Central Texas Academy, so I feel it is important for everyone to know just how great my old high school is. I learned more at NCTA than any of my past schools in Granbury (I attended both public and private). The faculty and staff absolutely want all of their students to...
