The community at Classical Academy is fantastic, very involved & helpful. They maintain a truly caring & concerned atmosphere for students & parents alike. Safety is also utmost important here & well monitored. The teachers & staff are very supportive, providing a diverse education & challenging academics to prepare students for college & life after HS. Resources are readily available (such as tutoring) & students are encouraged to use these helpful & beneficial opportunities to improve their grades/scores.
My daughter went here for her 9th grade (before moving out of the area) & we would highly recommend this charter school for an exceptional education that surpasses a "regular" school setting by far!

Classical Academy has changed my whole perspective on education and has proven that learning can be fun. The teachers at Classical are some of the nicest and kindest people you'll ever meet; each teacher seems to have a special bond with every student. The teachers always know how to engage each person throughout the entire class and you'll never feel left out. Everyone is always welcome and included at my school. All of the activities and clubs offered at my school are so much fun! Every day at Classical is something new and exciting! I almost forgot to mention our amazing principle, Dr. Perez, who goes above and beyond for us each day! There is not one thing that I can think of that needs to be improved or changed at my school. Classical Academy is amazing!
I'm very torn when I write this. Given other public high schools nearby aren't great, I love Classical being an alternative! The staff is great, very helpful and most kids seem into academics. However, God forbid you not be religious or go to the same church as these kids. It's a struggle for mine and totally made to feel feel like an outsider when this is a nonsecular school. Clubs are mainly religious and there are few if any kids comfortable enough to 'come out' here...though we know of several who are and refuse to due to fear of the mindset there. Education wise it's safe and strong. But if you are not already going to church with them....good luck fitting in. NOT what I expected in sending my kid to and shouldn't be a factor at a PUBLIC school! May not be a religious school but it's very obvious what their beliefs are!
