Elite Scholars Academy School Reviews
Rating 3.98 out of 5 169 reviews
Elite scholars academy is a great school academically. Although, the work is rigorous and the workload is hefty, it is doable once you get a hang of the school year. Administration really encourages student to take dual enrollment classes in order to boost their gpa and give them college experiences. That is easily my best experience at elite, I personally did full time dual my junior year and plan to do it my senior year, as it helped enlighten me on the real college experiences and professors. I do wish that later in the year, administration is more open to new things and making the school year less stressful for students as i always felt stressed in the school. I also wished they encouraged extracurricular activities like they do with academics.
I have been at Elite Scholars since the 6th grade. This is my final year here and I am truly excited. Don't get me wrong Elite Scholars is good but the workload could be better. Since the 6th grade, I have been pulled with tons of work from all my classes. Now being a senior, the workload just got easier. For 7 years straight, the workload has been unbearable. I have had mental stress trying to complete assignments from six classes in one day. Currently, I am a dual enrollment student at Southern Cresent Technical College. I still attend Elite Scholars Academy but only for three classes then I go home or to my college classes. I am truly happy I decided to do dual enrollment, it gives me an escape. Elite Scholars is truly not bad, but it does need some improvements. I am grateful though because it helped me prepare for the college life.
My school is a college preparatory school in that we take more rigorous courses such as AP and honor classes and are provided with dual enrollment opportunities. I wish that we had more resources to actually prepare for college such as senior classes specifically for preparing for college as well as financial literacy classes, home ec classes, and other classes that will help us in adulting. I've been attending this school since the 6th grade and it has been the most changing experience for me- both good and bad. I can guarantee that I would not be the way I am if it weren't for this school. It's a hard school to attend, but it has helped me get to the where I am today. I am soon going to graduate and I'm excited to leave this place behind and pursue my college life. I've been through many ups and downs at this school and things have been thrown at me left and right.
