Love this school! Exceptional teachers and a wonderful environment for my kids! We love how they are taught according to their individual needs-- the most caring teachers we have ever encountered. You won't find a greater culture than Freedom Prep!

My family has attended Freedom Prep since the 3rd year they opened. We were searching for a school that would partner with our family beliefs of great education, hard work, character development and goal setting. That looked different for each of my students but each was successful. What was taught at home was emphasized at school and vice versa. It is a partnership of students, parents and faculty working together to achieve success. Now as most of my children are adults, I look back and can clearly see how Freedom Prep helped prepare my children for their future endeavors. It takes a village to raise a child. Grateful for the opportunities my kids had at Freedom Prep.

I have never been happier with a school. Freedom Academy is a great school for parents who care about their children. There is so many programs they use on a daily basis that is awesome. Like the saxton math programs, AR reading, Reading programs ect. I love how they go by there assessments to place them in certain classes for math ect. The staff really cares about the children and wants the to succeed the best of the children's abilities. I also love the no candy policy. They do not stuff my children with unhealthy garbage. They are continuing to create programs that gets the gets excited and learn. They have some awesome after school programs that EVERYONE can participate in like: archery, Lego building, Christmas crafts, and homework help. I would recommend this school to anyone.

I've gone to that school before and let me tell you, I didn't have such a happy experience there, sure the secondary school is smaller, but patents would know that it's not a perfect clean school, there are drugs, there are people who bully each other and it grows so big that it's uncontrollable. You can make close friends, but you can makes many enemies. If one person has reason to hate you, and you tell others, they will make sure they don't live happy, I don't recommend the school.

Started out as a good school but has become like other disapointing public schools. Administation is more loyal to themselves and those who work at the school instead of the students and parents. They don't take parents concern seriously as a good charter school usually does. Most of the really good teachers have also left the school. Little by little good families are leaving the school too. I would not recomend this school to anyone looking for somthing better then your average public school.
