GreT school full of resources for students

The Principal, teachers and most parents are highly involved in the student's education. They have great programs like Meet the Masters where students learn about famous artists and do similar artwork. That program was funded by their own PTA program. They also have wind class, my oldest is playing the clarinet and loves it! They also have a lot of educational field trips where kids get to see what they are learning about. Best school, Best teachers and Best Principal and Vice Principal!!! The Ranking is low only because it's an overall score that they get for all grades. Taking it into consideration that there is a lot of English learner students starting kinder that did not previously attend school. Once you attend the monthly meetings the Principal discusses the growth of each grade level and that's where you see the students improvement by their grade. Highly recommend this school!

Communication is clear and consistent, and they are always available to address concerns or answer questions. Whether it's through regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, or school events, they ensure that parents are informed and involved in their child's educational journey.The extracurricular programs at ALA are diverse and enriching, offering opportunities in music, art, sports, and more. These programs not only enhance academic learning but also allow students to discover new interests and talents.Lastly, the school’s commitment to creating a positive, inclusive, and safe environment cannot be overstated. We’ve witnessed firsthand the school's proactive approach to bullying prevention and fostering respect among students.In short, Advanced Learning Academy offers a well-rounded, supportive, and inspiring environment for children.
