Its a nice school overall but i do think that there are a lot of things that they could still end up working on eventually but besides that i think its a good school
3/28/2020
Attending Strive Prep - Smart Academy has been one of the biggest reasons for my growth as a student and person. Smart has helped me achieve my dreams and follow a path that's right for me. My teachers and classmates helped me become such a great person and scholar, always pushing me to do better and encouraging me to be the best person I can every day. I have built such great day to day relationships here and am glad to have grown up with such great influences impacting mine and every other student at Smart.

I liked how there were many students of color, and the admin did their best in keeping culture alive. The thing I would like to see change is the senior seminar classes because I didn't think they prepared me for college well enough.

Thought this was going to be a better school than it is. School promotes itself and doesn't care about the kids. High teacher turnover. Son not getting the education we were told about. What a sham.
8/19/2013
Okay, school just started today, but my son came home excited and happy..and tired :) He is inspired by activity and hands on learning and I feel this school will keep him accountable and engaged. I will keep updating as the year goes on, but right now we are both so very pleased with the staff, the...
