I used to be a student before I went virtual. I hated it, especially some of the councilors and a lot of the students. The teachers were nice to me though.

This school is amazing! It is evident the teachers, office ladies & principals really care about students.

CLP is an awesome school! The teachers are caring and work diligently to ensure every child is successful! The principal is wonderful and the school is culturally and academically diverse. It's like getting a private school education for a minimal cost.

Our experience at the Broken Arrow Freshman Academy has been extremely disappointing. As a parent with my second student attending this school, I can honestly say this has been the worst experience we've had within the district. Communication has been lacking, concerns have not been handled appropriately, and repeated complaints have resulted in little to no resolution. One of the biggest concerns has been the lack of educational support from teachers and administration. Students who genuinely need help or extra guidance often feel overlooked rather than encouraged. There seems to be very little effort to ensure struggling students fully understand the material or receive the support they need to succeed academically. In addition, concerns involving bullying and student/teacher behaviors have not been handled in a way that gives parents confidence the issues are being taken seriously. It has been frustrating trying to advocate for my child while feeling unheard by the administration and staff. I understand no school is perfect, but parents and children should feel supported when legitimate academic/behavioral concerns are brought forward. Unfortunately, this school has not been in the best interest of our child. The teaching, learning, and social-emotional support at this school do not reflect the high standards and expectations that the district publicly promotes.

This review is not about the main high school campus, this review is for the Early College Academy and Virtual Academy. Despite Broken Arrow's inability to build a 2nd high school campus, they have created some amazing academies as alternative options to attending the WAY TOO LARGE main high school. We are currently enrolled in the Early College Academy where our student will earn an Associates degree alongside his high school diploma, all while attending the beautiful campus of NSUBA. We utilized one semester of full-time Virtual Academy while we dealt with some health issues, I was so impressed with the teacher engagement and the opportunity to seek in-person help 4 days a week as needed as well as the flexibility of the coursework deadlines. He currently uses the Virtual Academy for Electives to further avoid having to go to the main campus (which is the size of a junior college IMHO). He's found his tribe at the Early College Academy. I wish all high schools had this option for the kids who don't do well in over-crowded conditions.
