Grace Academy

my daughter has been going to Grace Academy since kindergarden. It is STILL a great school. Yes, we have had some changes. Some good. Some not so good. However, all schools have good and not so good. My family is going back next year. We love the school and my daughter has great friends there too. We look forward to another great year and hope too see some of the fun and exciting changes!

I apologize for the stream of consciousness style of my rating. Save your money and send your child somewhere else, you and your child will be much better off. The teachers for the most part are good, but I was surprised to find out that many aren't certified. There is a new principal who has taken over the school who talks a lot of talk, but at the end of the day, not a lot is getting done. With his my way or the high way attitude there was a high staff turn over rate this past school year of great teachers who had worked at Grace for years. The building is old and smells like mildew, the classrooms are cramped and the playground is not adequate. The Spanish classes were cut out completely. No music classes and limited space for the kids to play or have PE class. Teacher directed instruction has diminished in favor of virtual courses in the upper grades. Rules are randomly enforced. Many families who have been at Grace Academy for years are leaving in favor of other private or public schools. Don't drink the kool aid, stay away from this place.

I have had my daughter here for 5 years and I LOVE all that she has become because of this school.. I would not change a thing about the education and the most AMAZING teachers. Ms. Maria Polo was one of my favorits! If you want the best education this is it!
