Honestly, I really like ALA, but there are aspects of it which aren't very appealing. For example, some of the teachers aren't very understanding and they bore students with repetition and blabbering. I don't feel like the students are able to reach out full potential because of some of them and their incompetence. The best part of ALA is the students. We all support and thrive on one another. Building each other up and being supportive of most of the different activities and groups we're each members of. However, I've noticed that some groups don't support as much as the others do and it makes me sad knowing how under appreciated some groups are.

American Leadership Academy was the one school my parent's felt comfortable sending us. We had some rough situations in other public schools and finally found one that worked best for us. It has been excellent having all my siblings right beside us, since they are a K-12 school. I knew I wasn't alone.

They have no consideration for what is best for a student. A student in the 8th grade is accused of something he did not do and they are expelling him because 2 students 1 of which is the kid that was supposed to his friend and is really the kid that done it. Said he did. The police report states a blond kid with green eyes. He has dark hair blue eyes. But they are recommending him to be expelled . They are a joke.

The staff were very biased, I experienced an unbearable amount of bullying and the staff did nothing. I struggled with my education and didn’t get anything anyone was teaching me.

Spectacular fine arts programs! The singing, dancing and theater programs are all top notch. Their core classes are typical of any school and depend upon the efforts of the students. My high two schoolers have passed every AP test they have taken and have scored very high on state standardized tests...
