I have two children at Ariel (a set of twin boys). I beleive Ariel is a great place for child if you are willing to do the work as a parent. Advocate for your child and stay right on top of the teachers to ensure your children are meeting their academic goals. Pull them from the school if you are not happy!!!!!!! Parents should make the final decisions for their children.

I have four children, all of them attended Ariel. What happened at Ariel really left a bad taste in my mouth. My 2 oldest were part of the clicque and were pretty self sufficient. They were pretty much set as far as being given opportunities. They both e My younger two were not so lucky. My youngest daughter was allowed to pass along even though she was receiving failing grades in her classes in the name of keeping all the kids together. The same happened with my son who was really struggling in his classes and falling asleep in class. I tried everything and even spoke to the curriculum director and the principle concerning this. I was then referred to have an IEP done on my son. Long story short. I pulled my son out because he wasn't being served well here!

We found this school worked for us. You will find that there is not perfect school, principal or human in the real world. You have to work with your own child be visable in the classroom. Communicate with the teachers and not get too involved in the things that are not pertinent to your child. Check the scores for the benchmark grades, check the high schools that these children are being admitted to. And just like anything else if it does not fit your particular child find a place where it will be suitable for you.

I have been a parent at Ariel for two years and I can tell you this is not a great school.The students are out of control and if you are in the click nothing happens to your child. The teachers come and go things are not right here my husband and I are trying our best to get our child out. For the parent, that mention the LSC you are right you cannot get a straight answer about the LSC
