This has been a nightmare I regret even enrolling my child from the bullying to the teachers lack of control over the students to calling saying that my child is absent and me having to show up because I’m the one that drop my child off and watched them walk behind the gate till they got to the cafeteria. Then call me 11 o’clock. Thankfully, I showed up and got physical eyes on my child to make sure they were there still.

Their special education program is the only reason my children attended this school. Their learning center teachers and paras are the best. The nurse is amazing. Now to all the reasons I wouldn't ever let my kids attend here again. They allow bullying of all degrees. My daughter was harassed but not just students but teachers. There was a teacher who would make deeply inappropriate comments, barrate, and humiliate my child in front of her peers. My daughter was assaulted two weeks ago at this school for the principal to dismiss it. The principal man handles the children. No adult should grab another person's child because they are angry. This school is by far the worst experience. If you want a principal who hates children, front office staff who are unhelpful and rude, or teachers who bully students and allow other students to be bullied this is the school for you.

Multiple children left due to bullying before school year ended. Teachers do not seem to have the tools to handle what is going on. Two students got into a physical fight in class and parents were not notified. My child was constantly picked on by other students and nothing was done. Also witnessed principal holding a little girl’s wrist really tight and the girl seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Overall experienceWe have two children at Adams Traditional Academy — one in kindergarten and one in 8th grade. Our oldest has been at this school since kindergarten. Over the years, we have had a very positive experience and truly feel this is a great place for learning and growth.Teachers and academicsThe teachers are dedicated, professional, and genuinely care about students. They take time to support children when needed and keep good communication with parents. The academic program is strong and structured, and we can clearly see how much our kids are learning year after year.Focus and disciplineOne thing we really appreciate is the focus on discipline and learning. Phones are not allowed during the school day (only turned off), which helps students stay focused and avoid distractions. This creates a serious learning environment.Opportunities for studentsStarting from 6th grade, students can join team sports and compete with other charter schools. The school also offers many activities and opportunities that help children grow in confidence, teamwork, and responsibility.Final thoughtsWe feel very comfortable and happy with Adams Traditional Academy. It is a school that builds strong academic foundations, good habits, and discipline. We would confidently recommend it to other parents who are looking for a structured and high-quality education for their children.
