Learning Academy of Santa Rosa

We monitored my sons progress constantly, principle, jpo , self ,ect... to assure he was on track to graduate. He remained almost 2 weeks after school ended to ensure he had all his credits needed. Did accelerated PC corse and succesfuly completed all. Principle signed his report card and he was allowed to graduate. Not we are being told he does not have all his credits and his Diploma is NO GOOD anywhere. School Board is not backing the child. But is backing the teacher responsible for NOT entering his grade he earned. I would NEVER recomend this facility to anyone. A GED is at least something someone cannot invalidate. I am extremely dissatisfird. Exception Mr Shughart is a wonderful teacher.

Having first hand knowledge,, I must say the staff deals with at-risk-youth daily, and this presents many challenges. Almost all of the students have been kicked out of the district schools. It is my opinion that many of the students are basically good kids who made a mistake, and got caught up under zero tolerance laws. The teachers have little administrative support, a bus driver acts as the Dean, they hired an ex politician who is being investigated for misappropriation of taxpayers funds to run the school under a reorganization the school recently underwent. Most teachers do have the best interest of the kids at heart, however the staff needs strong support from parents. Parents need to encourage their children to behave appropriately, as that would negate any need for staff to yell at students to garner their attention; hence the staff is not dealing with angelic behavior! I would advise any parent who has a child that gets removed from public school to put their child in Florida Virtual School if you want to shield them from the challenging environment that is associated with the charter school environment if the school is enrolling primarily at-risk-youth.

was the best delinket school i have ever been too i loved it...the only two schools i loved going to was east milton elementry and the learning academy (raiders) !!! best life in florida ever!!!!

my son comes home complaining everyday about the teachers yelling and screaming in class instead of teaching or trying to help a student with a problem.this school is not helping my son one bit.will never recomend this school!

The worst experience my son could have encountered. Very unprofessional staff, not requried to answer to Santa ROsa County School Board. I removed my child.

This school doesn't have a library for the students, don't we need to create one?
