Aldo's commitment to experiential learning sets it apart from the other schools in the area. The teachers are excellent, and the school culture is very positive- with almost no bullying. Students thrive there. Because it is a small charter school, there are no sports, but students can compete for the public high school. I'm so thankful that we have this wonderful school.

the teachers there are excelent but as you get closer top the end of the school year things get decently hectic and kids tend to fall behind.

The ones that they do have going are underfunded and over rate, and few and far between.

.This school desperately lacks leadership and direction. The current school director has resigned and that will provide a second chance for this school. It is imperative that this school seeks out and hires a qualifyed Director for the coming school year who will provide a better academic direction...
