Trillium Academy

I am very unhappy with my decision to place my child in this school. I feel the administration does nothing with issues that they are addressed with. My son had an issue with other students bulling him, and nothing was ever done! I spoke with his teacher and Principal multiple times with no results. Also the parking lot here is a joke! Parents continue to park in the exit lanes and block others trying to get out. This issue was also brought up with no actions taken! Would not recommend sending your child to this school!

Trillium demands allot of there teachers, as they should. The teachers in turn should demand the same of the students. The parents should support the teachers and staff in this quest.

I taught at Trillium for several years. the Principal is more concerned about test scores that make her look good than supporting the teachers properly to be effective in the classroom. Image is everything to her. The staff is young and attractive. Older people are not usually hired even though they are more than qualified. Poor behavior is permitted to continue for fear of losing the financial support that comes with those unruly students. If higher standards were in place, more families would want to come. Also, teachers are very frequently fired with no explanation. Many more leave because of the unrealistic demands placed on them by the administration and unfair treatment to those not in her circle of friends.

I currently attend Trillium Academy. I love ALL of my teachers, but every year they leave, are asked to leave, or are fired. Trillium's teacher turnover rate is ridiculous. One previous teacher stated that "In the past 7 years, about 70 teachers have left." All of the teachers that I have had have been amazing, and they all have left. They have a lot of bumps to work out if they want to keep people at the school. I would leave, but it is my last year. Nothing at the school is what you think until you go there. Every year the problems just end up getting worse. This year has been the worst and I am highly disappointed.

I am very thankful with Trillium Academy. I love the Orchestra each year is better!. Staff, teachers , classes and students are great to me. This school is a big family. I like kids have uniform and teachers are always doing the best to our kids. My kids speak two languajes thanks to Trillium Academy.

I would just like to say Thank You to the Teacher and Staff. You are doing a excellent job. My daughters attend your school and absolutely LOVE it. I have noticed that the teachers have went above and beyond to make sure IF they are behind to Personaly make sure they are there to help. I am please with your zero tolerance rules. For those of you who are willing to work with the staff and teachers your child could not ask for a better program. Keep up the good work.

My daughter has been in Trillium academy since it started in Taylor. Anyone who has given the school a chance and attended meetings and parent conferences (like they should) woud be very happy with this school. They keep you informed of your childs progress and even tutor your children for free if they are falling behind. I was a little concerned with the subjects they were offering for high school and suggested other classes, and they actually put those classes in. A parent must keep in touch with the teachers and let them know their concerns, otherwise how can they help?

Disappointing! My daughter started this school mid year Jan 2011 in the 10th grade. She will not be returning! On the school tour, we saw so many wonderful things- oohed and aahed about the school. But once my daughter started, we realized we were sold a pipe dream. None of the classes she wanted were available to her and while I was pleased about her small class sizes, she was being taught things my 4th grader was learning!! My daughter came from an extremely rigorous advanced high school that was strictly academic. I thought it would be a nice change of pace to tap into her creative side at a performing arts school. Performing Arts School? What a joke. I wouldn't recommend this school to anybody. You would be doing a disservice to your child by sending them here. I hope she didn't get set too far back in the half of year that was wasted at this school. Favoritism is blatant also. This faculty picks and chooses who the rules apply to. Such a shame! So disappointed!

I see a lot of reviews and i have noticed that they are all coming from the parents. I am a student from trillium academy.I have been going there for the last 3 years.Trillium academy does have good teachers but the academic level is very low-Personally I am learning things that I have learned in the 6th grade and I am going to the 11th. The principal just cares about looks but never about the students or parents.If your child is going to high school this year you should plan on going to a different school.High school spirit,prep rallies, dances,and even prom is not enjoyable at all. Overall "YOUR CHILD WILL NEVER HAVE THAT HIGH SCHOOL MOTIVATION."

I have never seen a school more dedicated to the individual needs of a student. They find your greatest strength and build on that. I saw my childs self confidence soar within the first 3 months. If you need help, tutoring with a teacher or peer is always available. There is zero tolerance for aggressive behavior. Where other schools may have a problem with drugs or violence, the schools only major problem seems to be tardiness. The staff is on the younger side and with that they bring a fun new approach to learning. You can tell they like the students as much as the students like and respect them. They have many extracurricular activities and it is common to see the principal cheering right along side the parents. I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for fun, safe learning environment.

I love this school. I've been going here since the 8th grade. My grades here have been better than any other school I,ve ever been to.

They have awesome spirit and enthusiastic togetherness. Everyone (staff & students alike) works hard to be their best individually and as a team. The school reaches out into the community to help those in need. And they celebrate creativity through fine arts in and out of the classroom. All I have to say is, Trillium is one AWESOME school!

Staff is always willing to help parents out. There are numerous activities for my kids to get involved in. There's not a ton of homework!! My kids are learning stuff that is way above my expectations and beyond what other schools are doing. Trillium is truly unique!

Trillium is a great school with great families and a great staff. Everyone here really cares about each other and what is in the best interest of each child. The students are treated as children, not funding dollars.

I think they have the right ideal about the concept of running a school.

Although I agree more sports programs would be nice, they still do offer basketball, baseball, volleyball, cheer, and cross country. This school was originally intended to be a performing arts school and I personally have seen many improvements in that area each year. So many other schools do not offer music and performing arts at all (or very little) and have huge sports programs. It is nice to see a school focusing on the arts. Keep up the good work, Trillium!
