I did not approve of a few of the faculty members there. The school displays a poor attitude. Unfriendly. I ended up taking my son out of that school.

I love Stratford Academy because of our wonderful Arts & Music program (and our Staff). Our children are taught the six pillars of character and I love the uniform dress code. :) It's a great school community.

The teachers are so dedicated to the students. They go above and beyond what the typical teacher in another other school does. They put in 100% daily. My children couldn't be happeir every morning going off to find out what they will learn about today. It is so nice to see.

Great school! Offers the kids so many opportunities the other local schools don't. It is more like a private school than public.

I love Stratford Academy! I think it has great programs and wonderful teachers and staff. None of them are mean and they always try their best on new ways to learn. I love the plays and the ALPs program. That teaches me to learn with kids my own level, instead of being bored and not learning anything.

All 3 of my children went to this school. All were in the ALP program - Advanced Learning Program - and have had nothing but success!! This school along with the staff are the BEST in the country!

The caring, and kindness is the greatest. They have movie night, carnivals, pajama party, etc. couldn't have asked for a better school to send my children. I have had the best 2 school years ever. The teachers, principals, and assist. principles all listen to your concerns and try to make it better for all. The nurse well there is no higher praise that I can give but great! She is always there when needed from a band aid to a hug. The Secretary's at both schools are wonderful, always courteous, and willing to help at anytime. My experience with Stratford Academy has been a great one. I would refer these two schools to anyone, Honey Spot house, and Johnson House. PTA tries to get all involved and do a great job with functions held. I am a proud parent of 2 that go to Stratford Academy Great Schools!

Both of my children attend The Academy and my husband and I could not be happier! My children are doing so well both academically and socially and they actually enjoy going to school everyday. The teachers are the best, and the administrators are wonderful. Everyone really cares about the kids and it shows. I am thrilled that my children are fortunate enough to be able to attend such a great school. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about sending their kids to The Academy!

This school is wonderful. My child had to change schools since her old school closed, and since my child has been attending the Academy, I hear only positive feedback each day. Not only does my child look forward to school each day, but also she wants to get involved in each and every program the school has to offer! The academic programs offered are very informative and interesting, and there seems to be 100% participation from the students who want to be involved. The Academy has a very strong PTA, and many extracurricular activities for children to grow and thrive on. My husband and I are very happy with this positive change!

As a former student at Stratford Academy Johnson House, I think this is a great school. The teachers will always help you when you need it and you can stay after. There is not any crime at all in this school. This school also makes the kids happy because when you reach 3rd grade you get your own combination locker so you can have your privacy. This school is baisically a non-paying private school. I recommend this school who wants thier child to learn the fun yet edicating way.
—Submitted by Josh MacDaniel, a former student

This is a GREAT school.The teachers are so caring. The principals make you want to be involved. Both my kids are doing well but most of all they are learning values.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted November 28, 2004

This is a wonderful school! It feels like a private school. The principal and teachers care deeply about the students and their behavior. It must be all about the way children carry themselves and how they focus on academics. I am proud my stepson went there and now my youngest son. Kudos to The Academy!
