Higherlearning Academy Review

I like it but kids need to learn how not to disrespect other teachers there teacher and subs but this school is not that bad because they have camera's to watch kids if there being bad so it is K to 8 and people need to get out of this school if there bad.

So far so good. I really like Mrs. Kilpatrick she seems awesome

i am coming to the school so far i been there a couple times its good i like it

Thanks to this school I m strongly considering homeschooling. Kids get bullied, they get shoved, kicked, robbed and every time I go to the school to come up with solutions, they say my son has to figure out how to resolve conflicts by himself, they imply that he had it coming, promise to call me back for a follow up and just never happens. It s a shame because his teacher is a sweetheart, she seems to strongly care for the kids but the way they handle conflict with the kids and the way they discipline them is a god damn shame.

Um. I am a student here! Its a pretty good school they have pretty good teachers but what causes problems are the students..well some.. most.. in my class no one will be quiet for atleast a second.

If you are an advocate for your child's safety and education beware of this school!!!!! I would never place any child in this school! I made a huge mistake thinking that it would be better than the traditional public schools because it was a charter school! Wow, was I wrong! From the start the staff seemed confused, very unorganized. The school itself is very run down, dirty, not secure, not safe, and not maintained. They have one janitor and he is only able to clean the rooms 1-2 times a wk, maybe. Very unsanitary and dirty like I said. The open house, PFO meeting, parent meeting were a joke! I mean absolutely no organization. There is no restroom policy for the smaller children and there was one incident where a kindergarten student was verbally assaulted in the restroom by an older boy and scared and nothing was done. If your child is a slower learner you can forget about them getting extra help and vise versa is your child is exceptionally smart you can forget about them advancing! They stay on one format and everyone is at the same level so either they are left behind or they are frustrated from not being challenged enough! Buyer BEWARE! Children 1st! No core values!

I went to that school and by the way it's me Oscar hands the staff was horrible teachers were mean especially Miss fart Kyoto and most of the curriculum was very hard they never listen to other students the students were horrible the teachers trial they could. Mr.strawn but no one ever listens to him and apparently he got punched in the side by a students will never go back to that school I hate that school

Overall, I really like the school. The teachers are nice and most of the time always willing to help you. The only reason why I picked 4 out of 5 stars is because there are quite a few disrespectful kids, that cannot stop talking. If you try to get them to stop talking, they all of a sudden acted like they never said 1 word and start talking bad about you. I mean what did you expect, there always is going to be that one rude kid in your class and school. What I like about this school is they handle bullying very well. Not so much on drama, but they will end up stopping. At some point the drama would stop for a week or so, then start up again. 75-80% of the students are nice to others and new students, sadly many of the students talk back to the teachers and interrupt the class.

If you are going to choose going to school here, I would recommend it! It really isn't as bad as some people describe it!

My child goes to this school and it's a good school to put your child in also my child's teach we is really a nice teacher and is funny and nice it's just some kids that need to stop bullying other kids.

We moved our son here from Aspire to be closer to home, this was a huge mistake. They are very inexperienced, and not considering the children's best needs. The school needs work. I pulled my son last week, we are also considering home schooling.

this school is horrible teachers purposely turn away when children are being bullied. they dont care for the kids that they are taking care off

Bro imma Keep it the reason I have a bad education is. Because of this school I went here 4th-6th grade in the 5th grade we didn t do math at all and I struggled to learn my multiplication tables until the 7th grade I m in 8th by the way and the main reason is because they fired the only teacher that ever thought me something mr.strawn although he was mean sometimes he was the only teacher that I learned from horrible school over all I would put 0 stars if I could

I'm a student here at hla. I Just started in the beginning of the first trimester. I honestly love it there. The staff are great and the kids there are really nice too. I would put your child here at this school, For grades k-8th!!

I subbed here. Some of the students are disrespectful towards guest teachers. A student was doing something dangerous in the classroom so I asked him to stop, but he didn t. So I physically made him stop. He went and told the Principal that I put hands on him, and she asked me to leave. I wrote a letter to HR saying that I no longer want to work there, and they wrote back that I m no longer welcome. There was a sub job posted today that nobody took. Nobody wants to work with snowflakes and a bunch of disrespectful kids.

I go to this school it ain't that bad it just the students that cause trouble. Like every time a sub comes some students at like they can do what ever they want because are teacher isn't there but you still got to listen and students like I am need to watch what there saying because there just blurting stuff out before they think. And people said like 2 months ago that this is a bad school but it wasn't still finished so that's why y'all said it's a "bad school". This school is alright now.

I love the school also Faith dose not know what
she is talking about.

IT'S A GREAT SCHOOL I'M IN 899th grade and they help me with everything . it they had a high SCHOOL I would be there alot . they helped me with evrything

HLA is the best School i ever been i met new friends there were on point i learned a lot great help and scudle is ok K-8 is great cant wait for hla highschool,and I Miss the school love the school

Horrible I was a student there ethere never taught Me anything and they had nothing but horrible test scores and there was always drama and I was always picked on because I was white and all kinds of horrible stuff!

from the first day the Staff was very unorganized running around all o0ver the place, they didn't have the class list up for the new students and old students, and come to find out that they're Principal had stepped down prior to the School yr starting. Staff in the Office is unprofessional and the are all liars whom cover for each other.

Its a really cool school i have been going there since Kindergarten now im going to 7th grade i recommend this school to everyone

HLA is a great school my daughter and son loved it they would like to go again this upcoming year anyone have new address for school
