My son has attended Advantage Academy for two years now.He within two years has had two teachers quit leaving him with sub teacher.I received a phone call that the air condition was not working yesterday,so I went to check on my son and have lunch with my son,I was told by the new lady working the front office that I could not only on Wednesday.Not very happy on how the Front office treats the parents.

This is a great school and having my kids here is one of the best things my wife and I have done. PLEASE NOTICE: "Many bad reviews you see about this school everywhere have something in common: They are all written by the teenagers that go there. As a parent, you know that at their age they do not know what is best for them and all they like to do is complain". PARENTS: Don't like this school?... You can always take your kids somewhere else, It is just as simple as that!
