I have to agree with a previous reviewer. Several of the better teachers have left, which left us with a void, particularly in the high grades. It is a very small school, so losing a few families in grade 6 or 7 has been a critical loss. And more are leaving this year. The board seems to focus only on the grades where they have their own kids. The principal is trying, but the resources are not there. We are moving on at the end of the year.

We love Academy Hill. The faculty and staff are fantastic. The facility is very modest, but the instruction inside is second to none.

The small class sizes allow for personalized attention, which really makes a difference. What stands out the most for me is their focus on advanced learning and the u...

This school is a nice, very small school in a relatively unsafe area. It has suffered an unfortunate decline since the previous principal moved on, however. The academic programs have been cut and enrollment is very low. Students in the upper grades are choosing to move on. This year, high school ac...
