My children attended The First Academy for five years. My oldest graduated from TFA with a 4.3 GPA and failed in his first year of college. TFA has excellent, kind teachers, but there is a tremendous amount of grace extended to those that are slow in turning things in or not preparing for tests. This does not prepare students for college. TFA touts a 100% college acceptable rate, although, many of those acceptances are to Valencia, and does not track college graduation rates. Several moms have approached me about the lack of college preparedness that results from a TFA education. After our first child graduated, we changed schools for our other children. TFA is a wonderful, pleasant place to be, but it does not prepare your child for college.
