Context: I have 3 kids, all of whom currently attend ACS. 2 of the 3 are diagnosed neurodivergent/2E or 3E. I would wholeheartedly recommend ACS to anyone looking for an excellent education for their bright and/or gifted child. The PreK program were some of the happiest years of our family's life -
Posted by a parent on 3/31/2025I put my gentle, kind-hearted and well-behaved child in the Pre-K program. The daycare my child attended previously was better at teaching than the Pre-K program at ACS.

Posted by a parent on 10/9/2024I cannot recommend this school enough. My children attended the preschool program and it cultivated them into curious, engaged learners who love to go to school.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFamilies who are still considering this school should think carefully before enrolling. What we witnessed is: if a child does not perfectly fit the school’s expectations, meaningful support can be very limited! Rather than working with families to help a child succeed, we were told our child might be better off attending another school. That is incredibly disappointing from an institution that should be committed to helping every student grow and learn. Schools should support children who need guidance or a different approach—not make families feel like their child doesn’t belong. Overall our experience was deeply frustrating and disheartening.Parent Review4w ago - Indian Trail Elementary School
