My kids Love this school. No bullying, fun classes, and teachers (except for miss Mauer). The kids are. Challenged and develop leadership skills. Love it!

If you have a single parent home, this is not the school for you. They had a hybrid online program that was perfect for my son and my work schedule. Then they canceled it with less than a week's worth of notice. They say they have car pooling but NONE of the other parents are interested in driving other kids; they are all there to find someone to drive their kids. There are no after-school programs so you'd better be able to drop your kids up at 8 and pick them up at 3:30 because that school couldn't care less if your kid has no place to go for an hour after school. I ordered and paid for 2 School hoodies and my son never received them.I presented them with a detailed medical evaluation of my sons learning disabilities and medication and they didn''t think he needed a 504 or IEP. My son failed 9th grade math but somehow was able to enroll in 10th grade math. When we went into his student portal, they still had him in the 9th grade even when he was in 10th. My son has submitted several assignments that have never been graded. Assignments I had to pay a tutor a lot of money to complete. When I emailed the school to express my frustration with how my son seems to be invisible and is failing so many classes it was getting critical they simply told me that their Seminar classes can't be made up so we would basically just have to take him to another school to get his credits. And then graciously offered to send me some resources. Not resources that they were providing but resources from other schools.
