Senior: There are many great points to Handley and how they run their school. Dress code is relaxed compared to many other schools, even allowing hair color. Additionally, Handley uses a trimester system, something uncommon in Alabama. The staff communicates amongst themselves effectively, reducing confusion during schedule changes, safety drills, and mass-absences. There are also many clubs and sports to choose from, many involving themselves with community service. People of Roanoke are always seen as family to the community, even the ones that leave for other places or didn’t attend Handley. One thing I’d like to see changed at Handley is the addition of more AP classes. This year, Handley only has three available AP courses and a fourth is planned for next year so it seems as though the path is being paved.... Read 67 reviews

Parent: The curriculum is thoughtful, encourages critical thinking and think outside the box. While the school has a strong focus in math and science, my child is getting a well rounded education with classes in Language Arts, History, Community, etc., electives in art, foreign languages and history of food as well as after school fun like drama, sports and animal lovers clubs! The daily updates are informative detailing by class what my child did that day and I like the sneak peak on what the higher grade levels are learning/reading/doing. The teachers encourage the students to advocate for themselves but they are always on hand to help! My child has developed strong friendships with kids at various grade levels which shows that there is a common comradery and closeness in this community. The best review I can give comes from my child who says that Ideaventions Academy "is the best school ever!" and we wholeheartedly agree.... Read 7 reviews

Alum: Woodland High School is located in a very small, quiet town. The school is the heart of the town. The whole town with gather for various events put on by the school, but especially on Friday nights in the fall to watch some Woodland Bobcat Football! I spent some of the best years of my life in this school. Pep rallies, prayer breakfasts, field trips, and so many more memories will always hold a special place in my heart. Student involvement in clubs and activities was very important. Teachers were always supportive of their students whether it be in the classroom, on the field, on the court, and life in general. No matter what was going on in a highschool student's life, they would always know someone was routing for them.... Read 34 reviews

Middle School Student: I've been going to NSA since diapers. Currently, I am in the ninth grade, and I have already received access to so many opportunities. Along with education, NSA focuses on making everyone from everywhere feel welcome in our community. Sure, we have had our rough spots, but hasn't everyone? When I have trouble or drama, NSA is my safe haven to be myself. My teachers' goal is to help students achieve theirs. Honestly, so many of my teachers at NSA have helped shape my bright future. I am always eager to learn, and I always feel welcome in their classes. Along with this, I have always found NSA to be so creative and clever. There are so many fun social activities, especially the pep rallies and football games! Overall, NSA has taught me skills that will last me a lifetime. From making friends, to prioritizing education, NSA will always be my home. I wouldn't have anything else for the world.... Read 63 reviews

Alum: Veritas School is academically rigorous, which prepares students for college. They stick to the Classical Christian method very well. Students read so many great books and are taught how to write and speak well. The teachers are wonderful. They really care about the students and focus a lot on building good relationships with the students. They have a lot of great options for music and the arts. Students are given the option between choir, strings, and lots of different types of art (things like ceramics and painting). The athletics are pretty good for Veritas being a smaller school. Their XC teams won the DII State Championship. Veritas just got a new soccer field. The campus is beautiful and very well taken care of.... Read 26 reviews
