The school itself is great- friendly staff (overall), no tolerance for bullying, standard…read morecurriculum... however, the car line is RIDICULOUS! I have literally waited for over an hour to pick up a child in the line. I'm not sure if the communication is lacking or if the structure is poor (though I suspect it is communication/laziness because when the principal has participated in the line, there have been no issues at those times). Many parents have voiced this same opinion to me as well.

SBA, Chattanooga's best of the the best school for over 5 years. WAAAAAAAAAY better than Boyd;)…read more Silverdale is a great place to be. We have the best teachers ever, no joke. They truly love and care for their students. It's hard to pick a favorite teacher when all of them are so amazing. Mr. Pickering tells the most awful yet hilarious dad jokes. Mrs. Burleson makes me LOVE chemistry. Mr Humphries is the best homeroom teacher. Mrs. Humphries is the best English teacher and is the most passionate about her students. Mr Dragoo is a fan favorite here at the dale. Mrs Bradshaw is such a fun teacher And Mrs Moyers, the one who knows me and the one who I wouldn't have been able to make it through high school without her. They are all the best and have made my experience at Silverdale wonderful. We also have competitive sports teams (the best in my opinion:), several options for class choices, and a wonderful growing community. There is something for everyone here, you just have to get involved. Silverdale is the place to be!

I feel that this school can be very outrageous about its rules and the disciplinary actions are…read morejust as outrageous. For example(This is actually what they do by the way.): Wearing a headband that is the wrong color or thicker than one inch, can result to a detention. My time at CGLA was never a good one. I feel that they would just accept anyone without looking at their disciplinary records, so that would always result to trouble makers in school. I am so glad I'm leaving this school for my 10th grade year (2019- 2020) in high school and I'm going to be in a far better school than CGLA because it will focus on something that I have a passion for (music). CGLA is a school that forces science and math upon students and expects you to not fail. I have been at CGLA ever sense 6th grade and now I'm in the 9th. I am just now getting used to the grading scale and I almost have honor roll. When your grades are actually up to part, it is very difficult to keep them up. Every time Hamilton County schools are closed due to inclement weather, CGLA is the only school that gets a one hour delay. CGLA isn't a school that one can depend on if you are struggling. If you are struggling in a class, they will try to put you in exceptional education classes and claim that you suffer from a learning disability just because you can't keep up with the way a teacher is teaching you. If you are failing a class, they will give you mandatory tutoring after school for two hours. At CGLA's tutoring, they hire people who don't know how to do the subjects you're struggling in. CGLA is not a safe place for creative people or anyone who is different because you will be ridiculed even though they claim that they have a very low tolerance bully rate. I highly do not recommend this school for anyone who is creative outside of the science and math field.

I recognize a lot of people don't have the best high school experiences. My experience in high…read moreschool, thankfully, was very positive. It was at CA where I met a lot of my life long friends. Collegedale Academy offers high quality classes that helped prepare me for University level classes, while also offering extracurricular activities. There are plenty of opportunities to engage in athletics with cross-country, basketball, gymnastics and tennis. Non-athletic opportunities like band, hand bells, choir and yearbook are also available. But, what I enjoyed the most were the quality of teachers whom not only provide you with a well-rounded education, but also become mentors. The teachers care about the students and want to help provide them with the tools to succeed. I also really value the Christian focused environment CA provides. The school helped strengthen my faith through mission trip opportunities (prayer or Bible conferences), week of prayers and support via the chaplain department.
