Center Academy has been such a blessing for my son. The most important part of our experience is…read morethe academic strides my son has made while at Center Academy. Public school was not working at all for him, even with an IEP and extra help. He fell so far behind that it ended up hurting his mental health. I immediately pulled him out of public school in the middle of his 5th grade year. Once he started at Center Academy that same year, he became a new child. As far as social aspects, my son had a hard time in public school because other children didn't really understand him or relate to him. He had a hard time making connections with students, but at Center Academy, since the children understand each other and know that they are there because they face some of the same difficulties, they are compassionate towards one another and they understand each other. It's easier for them to make connections and friends. All the teachers are great. I have yet to have a complaint about any teacher. They are very understanding and compassionate towards the students. They are great at communicating, great at keeping order in the classroom and making it a positive and enjoyable learning experience. The same goes for the administration. They truly care for their students as if they were their own children. Every child has different needs and in some cases health issues. The faculty and staff have always done everything they could to help accommodate my son whenever he's needed it. The students are acknowledged as individuals and they are not expected to "fit in a box." With smaller classrooms and two teachers per classroom, they get the attention and help they need which wasn't possible in public school. The teachers and assistants are always there to help. The students enjoy field trips throughout the year and the school has various family activities throughout the year. My son went from getting C's, D's, and F's to A's and B's every semester and even all A's some semesters. The teachers challenge the students and they make sure they don't stay stagnant and they help them reach their full potential. This is where I've seen the biggest academic strides with my son. He went from writing maybe five sentences to being able to fill a whole page with writing. It was hard for him to get his thoughts on paper, but he no longer has that issue. He volunteers to read out loud which he never would've done previously. He went from needing someone to sit next to him in order to get his work done or having to be constantly redirected, to doing his work completely unassisted and even going around to help other students with their work. My son has great relationships with the teachers, teacher's assistants, and faculty and he even feels comfortable talking to them about what's going on in his life. His self-esteem went up, his confidence went up, he came out of his shell, and he honestly became a new child thanks to the help from Center Academy. My son is now in 11th grade and right on track to graduate next year. I could never thank the faculty and staff at Center Academy enough.

My nephew went here.. Understaffed and the "teachers" aren't certified by the state. One of the…read morehigh school teachers were pushing DEI agendas on the STUDENTS; making them create a poster board about diversion and equality in workforce. It's supposed to be a school, not political ideology bs. Students were punished for standing up for themselves in unfair situations. Teachers and assistants were gossiping about other students right in front of the class. Woke and terrible, overpriced for a mediocre education.

Orange County Preparatory Academy opened last fall in the old Page Private School facility. I…read moredecided to transfer my youngest child from the public school she was attending after a few bad years. Getting the postcard in the mail telling me that OCPA was opening was honestly one of the best things that could have happened. Before I switched my daughter I did my research about charter schools and the company that manages OCPA, Charter School Associates. I'd recommend any parents that are considering it do the same research. I found that they had several good schools, and I was hopeful that this new one would follow in those same footsteps. So, as for my review of the school... the beginning of the school year was rough, with the expected growing pains and some unexpected ones. Traffic was a nightmare, the principal left, and loads of other little things. Now, at the half way point in the year it appears that most things have been smoothed out. And I am very happy we switched. I love that this school is a K-8 school (currently to 7th, but 8th is supposed to be added next year). The school is supposed to focus on STEM, and in the fall all grades participated in a school-wide science fair. For a new school they have really hit the ground running with awesome events for the kids. At Halloween they had a trunk-or-treat, which was loads of fun. They also did a storybook day and had a school-wide fairy tale bowl with questions about the stories. The school provides after school tutoring and several clubs. The addition of clubs came later in the year than I would have liked, but we are really happy about the options. My daughter is in the after care program. One huge perk over the public school she was at is that they only charge you for days the child attends. Since my daughter only has to go to after care a few days a week I save money by not having to pay for the whole week like I used to. Since this is a charter school they wear uniforms. They had a few sales events at the school where we could purchase them and I had no problems with the uniform company. So far my daughter really likes wearing the uniform, and it makes getting ready in the morning super easy. That's all I can think of. I'm assuming if you are reading this review you may be thinking about switching to the school, so feel free to send me a note and I'll answer questions.

My children and I have been a member of the OCPA community since its beginning. As such, we've seen…read morethe school make some great strides, especially over this last year in particular. Yes, OCPA does have its positives and negatives, like any other school might. But OCPA's very accessible administration and small classroom sizes lend a very personal touch to each child's learning experience. The principal, Mr Higgins, and fellow administrator, Mr Austin, have been consistent and dedicated contributions to OCPA's improvement this year. Under this new leadership, I have seen more new programming such as organized athletic teams with winning records, various educational/STEM nights, and fun field days, just to name a few that I've personally participated in. I believe the structure and culture that Higgins and Austin have instilled have grown the school's support staff and allowed for some great momentum this year. For that, I give OCPA 4 stars. With only more improvement in OCPA's future, I am sure that it will earn the 5th star sooner than later!
