School Reviews

We have been attending Almond Acres Charter Academy since it opened--this is our sixth year! All three of my children love the staff and school and are doing well academically. They offer after school sports in conjunction with Lillian Larsen Elementary which include Cross Country, Girls' Volleyball, Basketball, Track and Field, and Ultimate Fridbee. They offer STEAM education, Destination Imagination, a MakerSpace, and they have teamed up with local artists for fine arts. They have an annual theatre production as well as an art show and Maker Faire!It's been a great fit for our family. I love the focus on character development (it matches what we're trying to do at home. I also love the attention given to Service and Project Based Learning---the kids learn so much and are making a difference in our community and world. We're so thankful we found this school!

Had to pull my kids out. Bullying is ignored. My kids were behind in academics when I enrolled them back in public schools. Turn over rate is far too excessive.

We love this school and we are now in our fifth year there. It is a place where there is more being taught than just academics. The teachers are great and all work together for a common goal...to teach to the student. Every child learns differently and the teachers acknowledge that and help each student according to their strengths and helps them stretch where they are weak. We had a problem with bullying at the school (don`t fool yourself and think it isn`t everywhere), but I really appreciate the care and concern that the teachers all the way to the administration helped and handled it. The drive isn`t really too bad for the great care my children are receiving. I would recommend this school to anyone looking! You can get a good feel for the school by going on a tour.
