Teachers openly say they do not like their jobs. Kids with poor or bizarre behavior are treated as just being "different but good kids" Moral is low, student council is poorly run.

This is a school for kids who are being punished within the Marana School District. Any kid referred here has already been singled out by their high school's administrators who have probably already called ahead to "warn" ACE about the student, so they really can't get a fair shot. The staff treats the kids like criminals, so that's how the kids act and that's how they end up feeling about themselves. There are several free charter schools or online schools in the area where kids are treated with respect that are much better choices. A.C.E. staff treats kids like the expect them to fail, so they often end up doing just that. Don't ever send your kid here, go with a charter school and put all the drama and administration incompetence behind you!

We travel so kids had no choice to be enrolled, I think the kids get a better education, communication is key, but if things go astray teacher will attempt. To get in contract with student. They seem to be making improvements, when we started ours kids were instructed to do apprpxmately an hour per course per day, they now show on the sigh on whether they have. Late items etc, big improvement for parents, we get weekly updates for our kids in grades and time completed in the past week.
