The ASK Academy is a good school to go to only if you are extremely interested in either biomedical sciences or engineering. For the most part the education is only ok and it misses out on almost any extracurriculars or electives. The school every year goes down hill and looses its teachers that once made the school give a good education.

The administration does not care about their students on a personal level, many social issues between students were handled with a low amount of professionalism and discretion, the environment between the students administration was very harsh, the administration is not respected by the students because the administration does not respect the students, does nothing to show them respect and only acts within their own interests

The best part of The ASK Academy is that it is a smaller school allowing students to get more opportunities to talk with teachers. One of the down falls that comes with having a small school is there is very few sports, we only have a high school basketball team.

At ASK, he’s up & out of his chai...

The Ask Academy - 3 StarsThe school is very, very well at educating scholars. The teachers are great and us having Friday's off makes it incredibly easy to reach out for support. However, it's hard for the school to feel diverse with everyone wearing the same outfit. It prepares students incredibly...

So today I went in to the school to drop off an order to my aunt that works there. The old lady that works up front.
