Triumph Academy

Moral Focus! To have moral focus be one of the top priorities of this school is just an added bonus! I've been in other public schools and the lack of respect and morals displayed in the students is very sad! There is a different moral focus every month and these students are reminded of this on a daily basis in the monring assembly where they also say the PLEDGE OF ALLIGANCE everyday! TRIUMPH ACADEMY IS AN AMAZING SCHOOL! Check it out for yourself, don't listen to the myths out there, take it from someone whos been there and knows. Call the school take a tour and you be the judge...

I have a Kindergartner at Triumph Academy and I am thrilled thus far with the experience. Every week the teacher sends home a detailed newsletter stating what they have been working on and things to work on at home. So far the only negative is the lack of a bus system it can be tedious picking up and dropping off as you wait in long lines. Its worth it though because he getting a good education in a school that values safety and academics.

We've just started our first year at Triumph after leaving Arborwood, and what a HUGE difference! Teachers and staff are very professional. Communication is EXCELLENT. Couldn't ask for better. Both the K and 1st teachers send home a weekly newsletter detailing what the children have been focusing on that week, reminders for upcoming events, and suggestions for at-home work. Both teachers are happy, friendly, and technology oriented (as is the whole school). Homework for both is appropriate--Arborwood didn't even assign K homework. The quality of the environment is vastly improved, too. Since there is no bus service, that automatically weeds out most parents who don't value their kids' education. I've yet to see any bullying or obnoxious behavior. Good diversity, too. And we love the uniforms! Makes mornings so much easier. Triumph might not be highest rated in MEAP, but they're good, and the superior environment for kids makes all the difference to me.

The teachers are exceptional. My students receive postcards and letters over the summer reminding them to read and to keep their skills fresh. Communication has been wonderful and I really appreciate the extra steps taken to ensure the effort made to help the student in areas of struggle. Parent involvement is a must as there is no bus system. No buses also is a strain if you have multiple children and one in K as you drive to the school 3x/day unless you can afford their expensive after K program. I wish I could take the school with me when we move!

We have been at this school since it first opened 8 years ago. There was much more parent involvement when the school was smaller than there is now. The environement is bar-none better than our local public schools. Much less bullying and negative behavior. This is priceless for kids with self-esteem issues. It is a much warmer, friendlier, encouraging environment. Academics were great through grade 4, 5th grade was a huge waste of time and the middle school needs work on it's academics, but it is still a better all around choice in my estimation. Teachers really try to respond when told that the children are bored and need a challenge. The squeaky wheel gets the grease for sure-we are not ignored. Our MEAP scores are slowly growing higher than the schools around us and are already higher in many areas. Sports are available but not a priority so teams are not winning ones. But the kids have fun and get to experience being on a team without aving to be a star already. There is not much fun to be had during the school day which is why my kids will tell you they hate the school. The principal has no interest in fun-he is all about academics. A little variation might be good sometime.

Great teachers! Our son is in 2nd grade and has been there since Kindergarten. He is doing wonderful. Loves to learn. Love the dress code too.

Worst possible choice we have ever made in our child's education! I literally wouldn't send my dog here if I were going away for the week. No enthusiasm. No genuine interest in children as individuals. If your kid is well disciplined and quiet, you can expect that he/she will receive little to no instruction or encouragement. As a matter of fact, my child never even received so much as a "good morning" from her teacher or any other staff on the way into the building...how strange for a school. Can you say, "These are the teachers who can't get hired anywhere else"? This seems to be a school that prides itself on the illusion that it is something disciplined, structured, and exceptional. It is unfortunate, but the reality is that this school screams "PAYCHECK" and nothing more. Would not recommend.

Extremely disappointing experience thus far...my child's teacher lacks the professionalism and genuine care you would like to see in an educator (especially a kindergarten teacher)...my child, although extremely intelligent and well-behaved, has already learned to hate school and believes she is a failure. Because of my limited experience with the rest of the school, I will refrain from making a sweeping statement. However, I hope to see marked improvement in the next school year.

We find ourselves in a situation where we may need to leave Monroe County to look for employment and the number one thing that makes us sad about that possibility is that our daughter will have to leave Triumph Academy. We absolutely love the school, teachers, principal, and others involved with making this school the great place that it is. Our daughter is in second grade and has received an excellent education for all three years that she has been here. Teachers are caring and look to help the individual. They aren't just a number. I can't say enough good about this school!
