Review of Academy at the lakes

My experience with my son at Academy at the Lakes ...

My experience with my son at Academy at the Lakes was really bad, the worse experience of our lives.
First of all his books for history and health classes were from 1995 and the rest of his classes didn't have books because " the school did not have money for new books" , really? don't have money for books, we paid $1000 for enrollment and books, so were is all the money for books going, surely for the head master , who drives a 2013 Cadillac !!!

One of his classes had 7 teachers during the year, that means that he almost had a different teacher every month, that is unacceptable for any school specially when you are paying such an outrageous amount of money which is almost the same as a private college???
After being in the school for 2 months we decided that the best thing to do was to change my son to another High School and when we sat down to talk to the Head Master and the High School Director guess what happened? they said that the agreement that we had signed states that we will be responsible for the tuition even if we pull him out, can you believe that ? what a scam !!!!!!
So my son had to stay in the school the rest of the year , what a terrible thing to do, but of course I understand why they do it? because if they didn't do that I guarantee you that 1/2 of the school will leave within the first 2 months of school.

They say they are a College prep school, what a joke, they are very far from that , imagine that they don't even have books !!!!!!
We do not recommend this school to anybody, we will like to go to the TV news with this story because surely we want to protect our community from scams like these.
