I have had three of my children attend ASA and I have had nothing but amazing experience with this school. My oldest who struggled in math and had major math anxiety and is now in the high school is doing math completely on his own without any stress whats so ever! I beleive because of the confidence his teacher helped him gain at ASA is the reason he is doing so amazing now! Even now that he doesn''t attend ASA this year the three years he had been here was a huge blessing! This school has allowed my children to learn with out barriers and the freedom to learn the best way that is for them! This school has a sports program through the district yes but the reasons for the lack of information is not on ASA part it''s the districts lack of including our school and it''s not a ASA fault as far as I''m concerned there is websites through the district that lets you know of when you need to make up games and practice that is on the parents part to talk to coach and get the information you need not ASA. People wanted sports available for our students and we worked hard to make this happen for families. At least it is a option! For us we didn''t choose ASA for the sports we choose it for the arts integration in our children''s learning and a different way of teaching my child vs regular classroom experience from the district.. We love ASA and can''t wait for a high school to be available for ASA!

My son has enjoyed going to school here for 8th grade. But do not enroll your child here if they have any interest in playing sports. All sports are through CMS or IMS and the communication and transportation is not organized at all. My son has missed more than half the away basketball games due to lack of communication from the school about rescheduling and bussing.
