I attended this school for two years. The teachers are great, but the students had no passion whatsoever towards their education. The class fails to get to concepts because other students are causing distractions and complaining towards learning. Not a school to attend if you want to be in a learning environment. I switched out to The International Academy of Troy, and everything about that school is amazing and unique! Close Quote

Very bad school with undisciplined students. Counselors are lazy and do not know how to fix my child's schedule. Very unorganized school. Also very racist and biased towards culture. Close Quote
