My experience with this school is some what messed up already on the first day of school my child got ill and they wouldn't let her call me they talking about wait till she eat lunch to see how she feel I don't feel like that's appropriate if a child is hurting the child parent should be called immediately then no one call me until the end of the day to come get my child now if y'all going to be teachers y'all need to be teachers if y'all don't want your job you shouldn't sign up for it that's why a lot of people is taking their kids out of school because of the teachers there in need of more experience because majority of these teachers are young and some need more experience some don't have kids so some don't understand kids I feel like Tuscaloosa City schools and just throwing teachers in the schoolhouse they really don't know nothing or try to learn nothing about the kids this morning I dropped my child off at school and the lady said that I cant park there it's raining outside man what you want me to get my child wet so she can be sick and not make it to school like y'all got to get better if y'all want us to get better you guys got to get better and a ltTuscaloosa City schools I thought Arcadia will be a good school for my child and I still think so with some of the teachers but Tuscaloosa City schools got to get better if y'all want to see better from the parents and the students we can go in and try to talk to you guys and it's always we'll fix it we'll try to get it together and the same problem happen!!! Well we got to keep experiencing this type of stuff. Somebody need to be held accountable for it

"It’s college kids. It takes 10-12 minutes to walk to very central places but it’s college kid area. I love to walk so the walk is nice, but construction is always there and the price of every day things are marked up. I do love 12th Street-it’s slightly calmer and than the Other streets. "

People are friendly but not nosey. Perfect location, 15 min walk to UA football games, 5 min walk to Government Plaza. Amphitheater, River Market, all the downtown restaurants and bars nearby. Queen City has joined UA campus, downtown, and river commerce for the nearly 200 years Tuscaloosa has been here."
