This is a great school and I have heard great things from students. The admins take bullying very seriously and promptly address it. The principal is kind of standoff ish and doesn't really seem like a people person with kids or otherwise. I think that would be my only complaint about this school

My twins are in Kindergarten and they started the year in a public charter school. My daughter began crying begging me not to have to go to school and my son had to be pulled out close to the beginning of the school year and was being homeschooled. Since switching to PHAA, both children are happier and my daughter is once again crying because she doesn't want to go HOME. I am very happy that my son is getting the attention he needs to be successful and my daughter is loving school again.BTW, I am not Adventist, or Christian, but the school system is great.
