Administration doesn't always do their job, the food sucks, and uniforms are required, but otherwise its fine.

It was a good Military academy, with some good teachers. Some of the ROTC instructors are a little hard on the kids but it's ok.

Before I came to SMA as a 7th student, I was lost in life at an young age. Between my 7th-12th grade year, SMA has helped me through so much. Including: My speech impediment, Leadership skills, & mainly getting me on the right path.

Not happy with how things were handled in regards to bullies. Also their communication skills were unsatisfactory.

Read above...If you really feel after reading this that SMA is a cut above then no one can help you. The bullying was less years ago but now no. Schools need to be fixed as no child is safe.

My son, a senior, has attended SMA since day 1 of freshman year. He decided in middle school that SMA is where he wanted to go. This smaller, Army JROTC based environment has done wonders for my son. As an incoming freshman, he was incredibly shy and uncomfortable around new people. Four years later...

Best high school education you can find in the area! SMA offers high academics with emphasis on positive characteristics like honor and integrity. I am an active volunteer at the school, and I witness these benefits daily. Couldn't be happier with this choice of schools!
