This is a horrible school. They are just another one of the failing education system. This is coming from a Success Academy student. They cram information into your head, expecting you to memorize it and then take a test every month. This too much. I don't understand why people think Success Academy...

It seem that if it up to SA they wouldn't take any kids with disabilities. They take some, but it is limited and try...

Advice for parents. Before sending your child to this school. Please do some research. Maybe start asking parents who have their kids going there. It looks like they have problem keeping teachers for more than 2 months. My kids very often get a new teacher.
