The teachers could care less about my kids when they attended. My son was supposed to receive extra help, due to learning disability, and kept getting suspended. No homework was ever assigned to him when he was out. My daughter dropped out, and ended up getting her ged, due to bullying from other students (no one cared or did anything). I finally withdrew my son as I was getting nowhere with the staff and they would also schedule progress meetings to happen when I was at work.

We love Scenic Hill. Our experience there has been amazing and the staff and teachers love these students. They currently have the Dual Language program which has proven to be a success. Excellent teachers and just wish there was more parent involvement.

Recently changed name to Kent Laboratory Academy. KMVA merged with Kent Phoenix Academy (school for credit recovery). The school used to be a small alternative school for kids who needed a smaller environment than the mainstream schools. The principal is trying to turn it into an "academically rigorous" school but that is not why families chose this school. By student did better because of the quieter, smaller environment.Would be better with a different principal.I'm sad that I can't recommend this for high school. There is little direction about college prep, beyond enrolling in Running Start, but even that had to be pushed for. There are no extracurriculars, but they also don't help connect students with activities at their boundary schools.Good grade school classes. Middle school is a good option if your child needs to escape the standard hellscape of middle school.
