Urban Academy Charter School

Ultimately I removed my children from this school. If you have a child with an IEP this is not the school for them. Unable to follow state guidelines when it comes to IEP’s. Repeatedly had to be on top of the special ed department to get documentation within specific timeframes. Answers to my children’s IEP’s not being followed were always “we are short staffed”.

I do not feel that this school is a great school for students who have a learning disability. My experience is that it was very negative. They questioned the parent. They don’t listen to doctors notes even after several times advocating for my child to get an IEP rude staff to my kid Just isolating my child when my kid asked for help in an assignment that she doesn’t understand it gets ignored. It’s really sad because there are children who need that one in one attention and when parents advocate for their kids to get the things that they need and the teachers and the adults in that school don’t listen that makes it a frustrating experience for everyone involved, especially the child who is going through that I do not think this is a five star school. I think they are an equipped to deal with and help people with learning disabilities who needs who have the same rights to learn and get the education that they need. They are rude to the parents and don’t take much feedback because they go off their right and you’re wrong .thats there way of thinking. They are more protective over their staff in the means of their children that go to the school. I am disappointed with my experience and I would never recommend this school .

This school provides a really positive learning environment. I have one shy kid who is confident and thriving here. I didn't think we would like it because it's big, but it feels like a small, tight community. Parents are active and supportive. Teachers and leadership are AMAZING. We love this school so much.

The teaching staff are beyond engaged and committed; they are the lifeblood of the school, and they create magical experiences for these kids. I would love to see them all quit Sunny Hollow en masse and found their own school. The Administration and Board (the ones who last there, anyway) are dead weight for this group of talented educators. Very mixed experience as a family. Part wholesome, part toxic. Proceed with caution.

Extremely happy with the integrity of Highland Catholic. Supportive teachers, fantastic families, diverse and inclusive extra-curricular activities. Highland Catholic sets students up for success well-beyond the classroom.

I really liked this school. in fifth grade some of the kids were mean to me and others, but the years before that best time ever. of course I have to give a shout out to Mrs Jensen she was my fifth grade teacher and she was awesome. she would tell us funny stories, when she heard about some of the bullying every Wednesday we would gather up as a class and talk about ways to solve it. someone give this woman a promotion she heck deserves it.
