I could never imagine a better school for my kids. The teachers are incredibly passionate and caring about every single student. Do not let the low "grade" of this website fool you. Their test scores might not be top notch (many children are english language learners) but they are the most empathetic and excited about learning students you could ever imagine thanks to the teachers and staff at IAA.
