They really care about the students! The teachers help you with anything your struggling with but for a new student getting around the building is very hard since it's all mixed everywhere. There is also too much homework. And it does have technology, but it's only iPad's so I wouldn't consider it an ischool. Close Quote

Better curriculum then Lindale...better teachers...BUT not all teachers are certified!!!! Principal ignores parents requests and concerns...talking to him was like talking to a wall...he could not follow the conversation and we kept repeating our self. Their are no policy's or procedures put in place for the teachers so they can just change the rules at any time and never inform the parents or have different rules for different kids!! They just assume all the kids that go their have gone their since Kindergarten and every one should just know exactly what to do and how to do it...tuft luck if your kid is new and gets lost and confused with 12 different teachers in 3rd grade!!! At least 2 hrs of home work every day in 3rd grade!
NOT AN ischool!!! No technology for the students!!!
AND THE LIBRARY IS SO SMALL!!! ALL the books could fit in a bath tub!!!! No JOKE!!!! And they do almost no fundraisers and the couple they do have hardly makes any money...so don't expect books any time soon!!!
Teachers do NOT return emails or phone calls!!!! EVER!!!!!
Overall...I do not recommend this school!!! They only have a waiting list because every one thinks they are some awesome technology school....THEY DONT OFFER anything special!! Not even sports!!!
Look into Innovations academy. Close Quote
