Parent: LPA has been the perfect school community for my children and family. It's diverse and inclusive and allows each student be who they're supposed to be. They also demand kindness and respect and set that as an example for all. I truly feel my children are supported and cared for by everyone at the school from the Executive Director on down. More importantly, they LOVE their teachers. Every year has been a blessing! My children feel challenged and supported. They know that if they need help, they're there to help them grow and succeed in every way possible.... Read 11 reviews

Parent: I have two children (K and 4th) who have attended BWCJA since Pre-K and they have enjoyed their experience so far. The curriculum is advanced, but the teachers make sure they are guided and get any extra attention they may need. The PTO is heavily involved providing lots of support to teachers and staff. We've gone through three different principals, but each have added value to the school. Overall, it is a safe and friendly environment with a welcoming principal, teachers, staff, children, and parents!!!... Read 2 reviews

Senior: I have been attending McKinley Classical Leadership Academy for along time because my school is a high school/middle school. When I was a middle schooler I was very unfocused and school was not my main priority , I honestly just wanted to play video games and mess around with my female classmates. All 3 years of middle school was like this until nearing the end of my 8th grade year( 2020 COVID 19 times). Around this time I started to get a wake up call randomly and I realized how much school was going to effect me entering my sophomore year of highschool(my freshmen year was virtual and I did not attend school a lot because of family issues), when I realized how much I missed out on and how many opportunities there were for me with school. After realizing this I became a way more involved student academically, athletically, and involved in more clubs.I would say a strong part of my current identity has been molded from attending this school. In the future I want to see more engagement.... Read 96 reviews

Parent: Words cannot express how grateful I am that we have school choice in the form of charter schools. My oldest son has moved on to GSA Middle and my youngest continues to attend GSA Smiley. We currently utilize the special education department at Smiley and although all of my son's teachers have been wonderful, his special education teacher and paraprofessional have been nothing short of phenomenal. He loves attending school, learning, and seeing his friends. They are constantly doing hands on, educational learning and he enjoys sharing his experiences and work with me after school. Having such supportive and understanding teachers who give so much of their time and their hearts is what keeps us living in the city. In other, larger schools, I could very easily see my kiddo getting overlooked, but at GSA he is able to get the small group attention and customized learning that he needs. We are proud to be part of the Gator Family!... Read 37 reviews

Alum: It was a good high school overall I never had many problems with the school it was a very positive experience. The best part of my experience was the environment and students, I got along with everyone and the majority were very kind despite me being the only Arab kid in the school. The worst experience would be some teachers that were just bad apples but it doesn't speak for the majority of teachers in the school who were very kind and good at what they do. What I'd like to see change would be that the principals and upper management would hear out some of the students' complaints and make changes.... Read 93 reviews
