I love this school! The staff there made school feel like home, and made the school United like a family. They always pushed me to do better.

It was a good high school experience. Most teachers are awesome and interact with all students, especially those who need more lecturing. One thing I would like to see change is having our own sports team so future students can represent the school they are attending.
My experience at Acceleration Academy, was a life changing experience. I say this because me being a former student, had met my girlfriend and we have now been dating for almost five years. Not only did this school give me a partner in life but also a new perspective on the education system. This is because the teachers there were terrific and truly cared for the students. However, one thing I would change is the exterior of the building.
