Focus Learning Academy

The faculty and staff in AAA may seem caring and understanding when the teacher, parent conferences come up, but when they are with the students, they are firm and strict. THIS is good. However, every time I directed the teachers with questions regarding my child's grades, I never got answers back unless I called them in an upset matter. It is a frustrating situation. TEST AFTER TEST AFTER TEST was the only thing I saw. This institution only concentrates on passing the state exams. No hands in training. Parents and others showing up at the school half naked and all tattoos showing and hanging low pants. My kids don't need to go to school and see that. People cursing and yelling all over the place. And how do you explain to a parent that your 8 years old child is not on campus when you go pick him/her up. Teachers releasing students that are NOT on the list for pick up. No field trips, field days, awards ceremony, no educational standards... I'm not happy.

I'm speaking to the parents who have a child with SPECIAL GOALS, and the wonder work done at the academies. The challenges I mention are those of LIFES EXPERIENCES!!! Having someone or knowing someone with special GOALS. I believe that in having so the school in mention is more than able to meet the needs of children with SPECIAL GOALS. All else doesn't matter. There is truth in what I say where miracles happen day in and day out. The amazing thing is in my experience is that no matter what THEIR day is like there always ready to assist the students with and without a special need. I believe my son and others have been touched divinely. I mean think about it RABI means " teacher", and what falls under this is blessings. Maybe I shouldn't say these things but I will, in fact I have to. Being told he can't, he won't, give up are all heartfelt. But in the essence of it all they or should I say shoe up and ready to meet the challenge. From my own experience the greater of me went in broken and returns to me daily refreshed with knowledge and we both await another day. In my experience when I was limited the teachers were empowered.I tell you the truth I've not seen anything like it.

FOCUS Academies has been making a difference in the lives of so many children for over a decade and we strive for excellence. Is it a perfect school? No but it improves each year! We have a high rating as a state charter school and that is due to the diligence of our faculty and staff. I would encourage parents to consider this school as a viable option to the larger district schools.

This school is a joke. My daughter has'nt learned a thing. They continue to get rid of administrators for no apparent reason and replace them with ineligable people. This school is going nowhere, and I am sad to have witnessed the downfall of this once great academy. Don't even think about sending your children hear.

I have a student that was in 6th and is now in 7th grade, and in comparison to the FOCUS front office staff, the Triple A front office staff are very rude and not helpful at all. From what I hear the the receptionist at Triple A is a relative of the CEO, go figure. Of course, there are the new adminstrators, not very helpful, not like the principals they had last year, they were always available, caring and helpful.

My son has really excelled at this school. His first year here, he was a difficult student, and behind developmentally. His teachers were patient, communicative, and listened to all of my concerns. This year he is a well behaved student, and academically on track! This is only made possible from the consistent care of the teachers and staff.

Focus is a great school to work for and a great school for my children to attend. I love the company of my co-workers and my students that attend my math class. We have the latest technology to use for educational purposes. We are held accountable for every child's educational experience to achieve positive life goals with global impact.

My 4th grader was attending another school that didn't meet his needs. I was determine to find a school that met his needs. Focus Learning Academy met his needs and challenged him academically. The administrators are wonderful people that honestly care about the children and parents. My son is now a 8th grader and I'm very happy with his academics.

My children came to FOCUS from another private school and a private preschool. My daughters have excelled every year that they have been at focus. My oldest began as a third grader and is now in fourth grade. She has done well academically and socially. She likes the school, the extracurricular activities, and the teachers and staff of the school. My youngest had to have a period of adjustment but after she learned the expectations as a prekindergarten, she has settled in very well. She is enjoying her kindergarten class and teacher. She is excited to be reading and learning new vocabulary. Everyday she comes home with a new discovery or word she learned at school.

I am pleased with the education my son is receiving at Triple A. He is being exposed to multi-sensory exemplar lessons daily. He is being challenged in all areas of education. This is a good school for children to receive a well-rounded education.
