I don't really get the complaints about AIG at this school. Both my kids are dual-identified and had positive experiences at Ligon overall (some teacher turnover-- endemic in a state that pays teachers so poorly, not just a Ligon problem). If your child excels in math, they will be in a high-level m...

Ligon has continued to be an overall disappointing experience for us with our child who is in 7th grade now.

The school w...

They did this during COVID and did not communicate this to current or prospecti...
