My child had two teachers for two consecutive years that had no control of the classroom, hurting his chances of starting off his education on the right foot. Since returning to regular public school, he has jumped 4 reading levels in 5 months.

We are fairly new to American Leadership Academy, so we hope to see improvements with the school. The test results (CRT) are well below the state average in two categories, which concerns us. We have had good experiences with the teacher that our child has and with the administration...very nice and open to suggestions, but we want to see better academic results overall. We hope that that will happen soon.

The school is a fabulous choice if you are disheartened as many are with the Nebo School District schools. Our test results speak for themselves!! Come join us. We are awesome!

I go to American Leadership Academy, (8th grade) and really enjoy it. The school is not gigantic, so you don't get lost and almost all the teachers know you, there is a wide array of music programs (such as ones you wouldn't expect for such a school, like several large bands, choirs, and orchestras of very good degree, run by excellent teachers) and many sports and after-school activities, the parents are more willing to help because they chose to come to the school. The school has very little graffiti, lots of friendly people, and the teachers are wonderful.
