Probably the worst decision I've made as a parent was putting my daughter in this school. Please…read moreparents, if you're thinking of this school, don't. They would be better off getting their education in public school. The sports? Bad. Clubs? Bad. Teachers? The turn around is insane. No reason a kid should have multiple teachers in all in one year. Started the year off meeting and learning the styles of a few teachers and ended up with complete different ones before the 2nd semester even started. Kids? Not nice. Teacher response? Completely non-existent.

Heaven help your child if they are being bullied. I have had COUNTLESS emails/phone…read morecalls/conferences throughout the years and NOTHING has changed. They don't have a guidance counselor for kids to go to, they don't have a designated nurse either. I don't think anyone has called me or emailed me ever about something happening TO my child but they sure do reach out if she does something wrong. They go through teachers like crazy! In one year my child had 4 DIFFERENT math teachers! 4!!!! How is my child supposed to thrive like this?! They don't have an indoor lunch room for the children either! Try to get an understanding of what the kids are learning? Good luck! No agendas, no weekly communication, nothing. My child has tried harming herself and had to be put in therapy because of the bullying she has received at this school! I am fed up. Please, please if you love your children DO NOT PUT THEM IN THIS SCHOOL.

IB program is amazing. Probably wouldn't send my kid here otherwise. School is relatively new but I…read moredon't like that teachers don't lock classroom doors. I'm all about security. Guy that directs traffic before and after class, is clueless.

Not every child is a perfect fit at a school, whether charter, private or public, that is just…read morefacts. With that stated first, let me say this secondly, GCS has been an amazing school. We came to GCS during his high school portion, and what a change it has been for him, on the highest of praise. The school has been attentive towards his educational needs, social interactions as well as tending to all the students and faculty spiritually. We were not sure how he/me was going to adjust but seeing all the friends, his grades improving and how the school really comes together as a family, it was one of the best transitions that we could have ever asked for. Barry and Becky McKeen really have a tight handle on the school, and the interaction/level they have with the parents and students is VERY impressive. I highly suggest that if you have not looked into GCS for your child, that you begin to do so...if there is room. You will be happy for all that GCS will provide for you and your child(ren).

If you care about education please don't send your child to this school they only care about how…read moremuch money you donate they have been saying that they are going to build a new building since 2020 and collecting money but they don't say how much money they have collected they don't even built portable classes they have the kids like sardines In a closet/classroom and they don't practice fire drills this school by far is awful and unprofessional

I can not say enough good things about Center Academy. We, like a lot of the families of children…read morewith disabilities, were searching for an alternative to public school for our daughter when we found them. For years she struggled with fitting in socially and not being understood which in turn affected her academically. She did have a handful of some amazing teachers along the way, but the system as whole was not equipped for her educational and social success. Center Academy changed all of that. They treated my daughter like she was no different than anyone else and gave her back her confidence. They have small classroom sizes which gives them the ability to help students who may be struggling or need more individualized instruction. They are extremely good at keeping the parents informed and included along the way as well. The entire atmosphere of the school is one of patience and understanding, and is built for success. We only wish we had found them sooner. The director, the teachers, and the amazing staff were a blessing to us. We are forever grateful to them for the huge role they played in our daughter's life.

Phenomenal educational and support staff.They are caring and responsive to my child's needs.read more

Fantastic School!!! Daughter has been going there since 6th grade,she currently is in 10th Grade…read more The teacher student ratio is excellent and she gets alot of 1 on 1. The school has made my daughter go from below level in Elementary school to honor roll. The teachers know the students extremely well and that helps with in today's society of threats as the school is a smaller private school. I would recommend this school to anyone wanting a school from 6th to 12th and their child has a IEP and needs extra help than what the public school provides. The owner is involved in the school and frequently visits. When a parent has any concern he quickly addresses them with the parent.

The staff is constantly Changing but at the same time also Constantly improving, one of the new teachers this year stands out above the rest to me, her name is Ms. Jesica she teaches a little of everything, English, Spanish, scianse, cooking....and the list keeps going, she makes school so fun while keeping it Structured. If your kids have an IEP, 504 plan or maybe just need something a little less Conventional than public school check this place out. I do many things but one is teach online at Jesuit Catholic University's, my field is Speachel education and educating teachers to teach successfully. This School is wonderful in my opinion, always room to change and improve but they are Spreading their wings still and always improving and learn to be the best school in the area for kids with needs.

In my time at Brandon Senior High School I met some really cool people/classmates who were nice and always asked me about my gaming skills since i owned a Playstation and Gaming PC computer. What was my best class subjects I enjoyed taking? I liked Agriculture thru out my High School years from 09-2001. Mr. Summerlin was my Agriculture teacher he was a great teacher and a good listener when I needed someone to talk to. Another class I enjoyed is Auto Technology with Mr. Bryant he was a great teacher and a great listener. He taught his class how to work on vehicles even if you knew how to work on them already. Class of 2001!!!!!!
