Open Quote After all the issues that the school has gone through finally we see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have nothing but great things to say about the school staff and teachers. the way they have been resolving and dealing with issues is more than enough for me to keep my child in their hands. Thank You! Close Quote

Open Quote I love Quest Academy. My children both attend this school. My oldest started in 2nd grade and is currently in middle school. My youngest started in Kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. The teachers take time to not only educate but to foster life skills and nurture the students. The administration works effectively to resolve all matters and works closely with the teachers to ensure academic success. Close Quote

Open Quote The school is full of bullies and the admin does not care to stop them.

The teachers do not respond to communication from parents.

And they are terrible book keepers! --If you make payments to them, make sure your payments are check or card and keep the receipts!

Over all just an awful place. Close Quote
