Very close minded community. Students who are not athletic or come to the school as a transfer will find it hard to get by. The teachers are wonderful, but the social atmosphere is horrid. Diversity does not exist here.

My experience with Stratford has been 50/50. Academically the school is supreme and for the most part the teachers seem to really 'care' and be very involved with the student(s).

Stratford is the best school on the planet earth. You may not fit in at first but as you go along if you know the right people you will!

Stratford Academy has been a great experience for my daughter. She has attended for two years, pre-K and now kindergarten. Stratford Academy is a pre-K through 12th school. The use of older students to become reading buddies and special helpers for the younger classes has worked well to create a family

Parental involvement is high. A parent volunteer actually teaches Spanish to all Pre-K and kindergarten students. Parents enjoy watching their child perform several times throughout the year. The tuition is slightly higher than surrounding schools. It is SACS accredited, while others may not be. All religions are respected and prayer is still in this school. Overall, it has been a great experience for my child and will find it hard to replace as we move. Read less
