Humanities Preparatory Academy Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 67 reviews
All of the teachers are mostly respectful and are willing to care and talk to their students. Your opinion and voice matters to them. Plus, everyone is mostly accepting and things are taught in a different way than traditional schools. However, the school area is small, due to sharing the building with many other schools, so I would like it if we had a bigger space.
My experience at Humanities Preparatory Academy has been nothing but amazing. The students and staff are extremely welcoming and it sort of feels like a big family. The curriculum is very hands on and the teachers care greatly about how you are doing as a student. Humanities Prep is a place where I don’t think needs change other than the schools that are connected
Please don't go to this school if you have good grades and want to be academically challenged. I found the classes tediously easy. Students have days to finish their work which could easily be done within 30 minutes or in a day at most. I can confirm the 65% proficiency in math as accurate, if not even lower. There is significant neglect in teaching mathematics, and what you are given in class in the first two years are either simple problems that you have probably learned in middle school or straight up articles that would be better suited for English classes instead. Yes, the teachers are friendly and bribe you with free food to stay here, but that's all they have going for them. If you didn't do so well in middle school, maybe give this school a shot. The biggest pro in this school is free time. Good grades come easy and with the free time you have, you have plenty of time to look for internships, jobs and join extracurricular activities.
