Atlanta Classical Academy Reviews
Rating 4.5 out of 5 16 reviews
For what the school lacks in facilities and strong sports team, it makes up with incredibly devoted teachers who work relentlessly to ensure that every student is getting the best education they can. The education succeeds other Atlanta private schools, despite being a free charter school. The spirit is strong as everyone knows each other and contributes to the overall life of the school. However, being a small charter school with minimal funding creates a lack of facilities and ability to have strong sports teams. There are still many ways to get involved and be apart of the community despite the obstacles.
I enjoy it. It's tough and it was really hard to settle into when I first started, but I've come to love the culture and environment. I enjoy how the teachers actually care and pay attention to each student, my only concern is due to the small grade sizes it's hard for new students to make friends, and easy for them to feel ostracized from their peers.
I love Atlanta Classical Academy! The teachers are amazing and the school really prepares you for college. However, If you decide to send your child to this school, make sure they TRULY understand how to study.
The downfall of many new students at ACA is that when they enter the school (freshman year for ex.) they tend to expect that the grading system and the rigour of work will be the same as their previous school. I would say in order to do well at ACA you must study hard because the curriculum can be intense at times.
One critique I would give the school is that the staff is not diverse. As a POC at ACA, having teachers who look like you and can relate to racial problems that may occur at school is very important. However, I believe ACA is currently hiring a more diverse staff for the upcoming school years.
