The teachers are dedicated and love their jobs. The students are nice and really try. We love this campus and recommend it to anyone.MLB

I appreciate how this campus continuously communicates with us as parents. We know exactly what is going on and they share important timely updates.

I wouldn't send my kids here. The administration has a high turn over rate and the teachers talk trash about the students. You go to speak with someone and the lady in the front is rude. Some of the teachers are wonderful and really care about the kids the rest are really bad.

If you have a kid with special need or have learning differences, please don't enrolled them in here. We have too much trouble since we let our kid enrolled this school. They want all the students learned the same way and don't offered a other way to learned. They want all kids be equal and that's not realistic. We have a kid with learning differences and others conditions and every year is the same. We need to fight and fight for the right of our son. We are really disappointed because when we was thinking about if this school was good enough for our son, we talk with the school principal and ask her if they are prepared for kids with special needs and she said yes. Everything sound perfect until we got our kid in this school. The teachers and the staff are not prepared for kids like mine. So please, do the favor to your kids with special needs to go on different school, but not here.

After several incidents ranging from threats, hitting, and now escalating to terrifying 2 classrooms as desks and chairs were hurled at students, the new child at fault is promptly returned to the classroom the next morning. Many of us afraid for our children's safety. We were never to this day contacted by the teacher. We had to take it upon ourselves to ask why, to request a classroom change which was immediately denied and shown the door with transfer to another campus as our only option. We live in front of this school and work hard to pay to be in it's boundaries. Our child is a straight A long term student they are proud to parade on social media but will not protect in real time. Many families were afraid and didn't send their children the next day. If you question the new principals tactics plan to be met with a very veiled response. The child at fault is being used to garner resources for the school. While our child who's never been in trouble a day in her life is now being used as a warning to other parents of what happens when you question this new leadership. We were shown the door basically and quietly and are now without a school for a very good student. Being forced into hiring an attorney to protect our child who did absolutely nothing wrong, has excellent scores but also become terrified of this violent child for good reasons. Her now education loss is because we asked for a classroom change the day after this incident that a hurled desk missed our student by inches, we had the audacity to ask why was this disruptive child was right back in class, and in just one day we were quietly shoved out. I will say the vice principal is fantastic- as well as several great teachers but they don't override this new principal and failed leadership. Sadly it will take an even worse event or a child being severely injured that they can't so readily hide or shove so easily under a rug to get any type of real time protection for students. Parents with real concerns will be hushed and students will have to go to school afraid. That's the new look for out Tigers

My experience with Harold T. Branch Academy has nothing but positive! I have been able to get involved with so many different extracurricular activities. I have been able to take part in a paid internship, many honor societies, and volunteer opportunities. I have been able to accomplish so much by having the support of the teachers and staff. I finished my associate's degree at Del Mar College through dual enrollment. I never had to pay for any expenses, such as books, transportation to DMC, and tuition. If you are looking for a challenge, join this opportunity and see yourself grow academically and personally.

Adkins is a great school to go to when you are in middle school. My experience was, I had no friends I was totally new to this school and my other friends went to a different school. I went to Adkins because my home was closer so I couldn’t see my friends again. The people in Adkins made me feel welcomed and happy. All though there is loads of drama in school, most people don’t take it personal and become physical with one and other. They care about us, are health and are education. Some teachers are not very nice but there are lots of nice and respectful teachers like Ms.Nix the 6th grade math teacher. I hope this helps!
