Phoenix Academy Inc

I highly recommend this school. We have been at Phoenix Academy for two years now. I wish it went past 5th grade. The first year we were here was beyond fantastic. The kindergarten teacher we had was so wonderful and caring it helped make the transition from pre-school to elementary school smooth. I am not as pleased with the 2nd year but have high hopes for next year. The teacher student ratio is fabulous. The class size is small enough that each student gets individualized care and no one gets missed. This school has a zero tolerance for bulling with is extremely important to me. They do not have a typical playground which is one of the top places that students at regular public school get bullied. They do offer supervised outdoor play so the students are not missing anything by not having playground equipment. I am not sure of public school foreign language programs but my son is learning German thanks to Phoenix Academy. The technology that they are using in class allows students to see what other kids their age are doing in school all around the world. I can t say enough good things about this school. I love it!

My son attended this school in first grade. There was little to no communication between parents and teachers. We had a very negative experience there. They say they want parental involvement but will not allow parents in the school. You have to wonder about a school that does not want parents in the hallways or classrooms. The kids are in the classrooms all day. There is no library or other rooms for art or PE. I would not recommend this school. I also noticed very poor leadership.

I have never seen administration that is so disconnected from the classroom as I have at this school. The principal/superintendant is never at the school and when she is, total DISCOMBOBULATION! The teachers are treated with disrespect from the principal/superintendant. Parents at this school have become aware of the way teachers are disrepected by administration and have latched on to her dispicable behavior. So my fellow-parents, if you are looking for a school where you can complain to the principal about your child's nose is not getting wiped enough, this school is the place for you! As for the wonderful teachers at this school, hang in there and keep looking for other opportunities to do your craft. That's if your prinicpal doesn't find out first because I've been told she will fire you or give you a bad reference if you look for other employment. SMH . . . shame on you!

As a mother of 6 children education is extremely important to me. In the 07-08 yr I enrolled my then rising 4th grader and Kindergartener at Phoenix. Once my 4th grader started school we realized just how far behind she was academically coming from Jamestown Elementary, the teachers and support staff at Phoenix jumped into action working deligently to bring her up to speed and never once did she feel as if she were sub-par. Also my at the time kindergartener was challenged to her level . They base there academics more individually than the public schools I have dealt with. They work with your child on their specicfic level .Just this year 09-10 my son started Kindergarten he just turned 5 Aug 6th so he is young but I know & have seen the special attention he is receiving. They have organized outdoor play, &PE. Art and Music. Great school
