WELL I MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 2014 AND THIS HAS BEEN THE ONLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MY NOW HIGH & MIDDLE SCHOOLERS ATTENDED I COULDNT BE HAPPIER THE STAFF SINCERELY CARES AT THE STUDENTS I FEEL LIKE FAMILY WITH MOST STAFF & TEACHERS THEY REALLY LOVE THE CHILDREN AND COMMUNITY IM ABSOLUTELY VERY PLEASED ON HOW WELL THEY COMMUNICATE WITH ME & MY HUSBAND THEY ALWAYS ARE INFORMATIVE ON WHAT MY KIDS NEEDS WHERE/ARE I MUST SAY FROM THE FRONT OFFICE TO THE CLASSROOM I GIVE THEM A+ IN MY BOOK I LOVE THE SMALLER ENVIRONMENT SETTING FOR MY CHILDREN AND THEY ARE THRIVING

From a senior students POV: freshman year was good (covid year) but years following have been a downwards spiral. For the first 3 years of my time at this facility the boys bathrooms had no soap. New ridiculous policies such as the 10 10 rule (may not use the bathroom during the first or last 10 minutes of class) tardy sweeps (random event which all late students are locked out and give detention even on first offence which is served on a Tuesday or Thursday) road block aids which are not only disruptive but insulting. Passive aggressive threats from staff verbally and over announcements. Monthly to weekly fights and skirmishes. Overall increasingly hostile environment, which feels completely different from my own freshman year. While the quality of student is already low / hard to work with, the minorities greatly impact, reduce the capacity for enjoyment of life of the many. Each years bell scheduled differing from the last, seemingly designed sap away from the student as much as possible. For instance, 2023 - 2024 school years 6 minutes between classes, morning bell now starts at 7:14 opposed to 7:15 from previous years. Flex time (a total joke) no longer given choice to the students (mandatory rotation now) vast waste of time AND students are disallowed to use the bathroom during this time. Student parking lot now littered with cones and road block aids for no reason, fences and gates over walkways designed only to restrict movement. A school of almost 2,000 with only 3 bathrooms available per gender. Overall, a sad wrinkly husk of what was once a respectable school. While the undesirable youths entering the school grounds are out of the control of the school, no effort is made to fix issues, only cover up or bandaid.

Teacher do not help students. They just blow them off, tell them they don’t have time. No doors in girls bathrooms all year. Terrible safety issues. Assaults happen towards the female students continuously without repercussions. Front office staff makes comments to children such as “I’m sure your parents are so proud of you” when correcting information that is being stated that is not factual. Total failure of a school. I completely regret my child going to school here. Wish I could give a zero.

My grand- daughter attended Alee Academy and loved it! We found the teachers to be excellent and the administrative staff to be very supportive.! It was easy to have good communication. I was especially impressed with the concern the teachers & staff showed in various situations. I highly recommend the school for students who need a little extra help with academics and have some issues at regular high schools. Vivian Murray
