Posted by a parent on 3/18/2018There are plenty of great things to say about SFA. It has been a second home for my self, my children, nieces, and nephews for over 10 years. SFA is very strong in academics as well as in moral standards. There are many great schools out there to fit people's choices and for my family, SFA fits like
Posted by a parent on 10/14/2017SFA is a Blue Ribbon school in name only. It lacks the diversity to effectively integrate children who are not in the majority. Their approach to education is teach by fear, punishment and guilt. This method is STUCK in the 1960's.At SFA, your child's individuality, sense of self-confidence and spir
Posted by a parent on 9/29/2017There is not enough I can say about SFA! STRONG academics! STRONG sense of community and family! STRONG faith based morals and values! As a public school teacher, I chose SFA for these reasons! And the extracurricular programs they offer is just the cherry on top! There forensics team is amazing! Al
Posted by a parent on 8/12/2017Superb school with moral values and great academics. Exceptionally family oriented. As the saying goes from the seed up, all up to the management, Ms Savege and Me Tolen (spelling?)

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA school that disables Google reviews limits transparency. Parents investing their hard-earned money deserve access to feedback before enrolling.I was warned by multiple people, including a former teacher, but gave the school the benefit of the doubt. My experience raised concerns about structure and communication. Parents are not consistently informed about what their children are working on. For first grade and above, students should primarily be seated at tables and chairs to support focus and discipline, yet children are often on the floor and academic goals are unclear.In some situations, support services or therapy were recommended quickly instead of increasing classroom staffing. Class sizes appear large relative to the number of teachers. If Arabic is not spoken at home, parents should carefully evaluate how instruction and progress are handled.Transparency and structure matter.Parent Review4mo ago - Learning Institute of Union City
