PSA is an outstanding school that is fully vested in their students. students have an array of high level courses. PSA offers dual enrollment and AP courses. The staff are highly qualified and care about the success of their students! I highly recommend giving PSA full consideration of choice for educating your child! My daughter likes being a student at PSA!
The community at Paragon is very unique to the plethora of backgrounds and cultures the students possess. There is a greater connection between teacher and student rather than those found at larger highschools/middle schools. There arent many options in choosing classes like the typical highschool but they're open to suggestion and student participation. Many of the clubs are student founded, showing that suggestions can be put into action.
I like that Paragon is a small and close-knit school. There are some very good teachers here who I appreciate every day and their passion for teaching is apparent in all that they do. However, Paragon has a limited budget and property, and doesn't offer a vast array of classes. Since it is K-12, many classrooms are tightly packed and sometimes inadequate, though not always. Paragon doesn't offer much in the way of arts or sports, but does focus on STEM.
