I been at Syracuse academy of science, since I been in the 2nd grade. As growing up going to that school everyday it was a good experience through elementary and middle school. They did a lot of things differently from city schools. But as I got to high school it didn't give me a real high school experience and I feel like it didn't prepare me for college well enough.

Syracuse Academy of Science is a great school. They provide high level opportunities and interaction for students. It is a small school with less the 300 students per graduating year. This allows the learning experience to be personalized to each students needs.

I pulled my children out and had to waste hundreds of dollars on uniforms. They did not know how to teach my children that needed more help.
