Crater Renaissance Academy

My son attends Renaissance Academy and is absolutely thriving there. He loves his school and his teachers and looks forward to going to school every day. I am so impressed with how much he has grown during his time there. He has always wanted to be challenged in his classes and to be a part of a lot of activities and both of those have been fulfilled. He has taken advantage of opportunities presented to him to become a leader and is already well prepared for college and he is loving the journey.

The academic program is lacking. It's too easy, even if you take accelerated classes. If you know about the four schools, many of the RA teaches tend to speak ill of the teachers in the other schools. I'm currently a freshman at RA and came in expecting a really great school. I've been extremely disappointed in how low the expectations are for the students. I do love one or two of my classes, but they're not enough to make up for the school in general. I'm planning on moving to CAHPS for next year.

I am currently a senior at Renaissance Academy. My graduating class is the first class to have gone through Renaissance all four years since the school's start. The education I have recieved over the four years has been nothing but exceptional. The teachers genuinely care about each and every student, build relationships with their students, and are more than willing to help each student reach their full potential. We, the students, recognize the teachers dedication, and together we have built a supportive, close-knit community within our school. As a senior getting ready to move on to college, I feel that Renaissance has really helped me prepare for the next stage of my education. I am sad to be leaving the wonderful staff of Renaissance, but I know that they will always be there for support if I ever need it.

The teachers in this school are top notch! They know their student's strengths and weaknesses and, as a result, are able to ask more of them. They have supports for students who need help, and they are able to push accelerated students to higher results.

The teachers in this school really care about the students that they teach. You're not just another face in the classroom, you're a person, and it's really important to have people that care about you.
