Stop focusing on JUST sports and focus more on academics. You have so much untapped student potential!

I'm absolutely appalled by the behavior of this school. I believe they discriminated against my son…read moreand targeted him with unfair punishments. They also failed to challenge him academically and his test scores plummeted before we pulled him. When my son started going to this school (age 5), he was bright and energetic. He had been reading since before preschool. He was assigned an amazing kindergarten teacher who was very loving and said she was impressed that he was a fluent reader and very good at math. He tested in the 90+ percentile on all the beginning of the year testing. In December, he tested in the 0th. The school broke him. The worst thing they did was punish him for attending therapy. I spoke with the front office, the nurse, and his teacher before the school year started to inform them that he goes to weekly therapy. All said it was fine and he would have no issues. After a few weeks I noticed they had been marking him unexcused for each appointment, even though I provided a note from his therapist each week. I began emailing the attendance secretary each week to remind her that the tardies were excused. A couple months in, we received a note that said he had accumulated too many tardies (all for his appointments) and they would be issuing him a referral if they continued. At this point I reached out to the dean of students. She said we would need to provide new doctors notes for each tardy. So we did. The very next day, she assigned my son detention for spitting at another student on the playground. This was the very first time we had ever heard a complaint from any staff at the school about my son's behavior. Although I believe that detention is a harsh and ineffective punishment for a 5 year old, especially for a first offense, I sent him to his detention a week later. From that point on, it became a fight to get my son to go to school. When we arrived in the car line he would refuse to go in, so I would park and carry him, screaming and crying, into the school. He almost got hit by a car in car line one day trying to avoid going to school. Sometime around this point in time I received another email from the dean of students explaining that she had spoken with the principal and we would need to submit a letter from my son's therapist explaining his goals in therapy and timeline of care. This is where I drew a line. My son did not want me to share this information, and his diagnoses were not affecting his performance at school. Throughout the school year, the car line staff had been pressuring me to drive away before my son was buckled. We were not holding up the line, but the car line staff are very aggressive about getting the line to move. I kept telling them I wasn't comfortable driving with him unbuckled and would move as soon as he was. We did everything we could to get him to buckle quickly. One day, the school resource officer started yelling at my father when he went to pick up my son and ordered him to drive away with my son unbuckled. At this point I emailed the principal and the parent liaison at Academica about my concerns with the car line and with the invasion of my son's privacy in therapy. I sent the email in December and still haven't heard back from the principal. The response from Academica was that they could call CPS because my son had missed too much school (referring to the tardies for his therapy appointments). I informed them that since he was 5, there are no mandatory attendance laws applicable for him, but if they wanted to report me to CPS for sending my son to therapy they could go ahead. The response was "well, if you don't have to send him, why do you?" I guess they just don't understand a parent wanting her son to get a good education. I withdrew him from school and began homeschooling him starting in January. Since then he has been learning at a much faster pace and is much happier. I regret ever sending my son here.

I haven't painted a picture since elementary but i saw a Groupon for Paint Nite and decided to give…read moreit a try. I'm glad I did because this was so fun! The two hour class went by in a flash and I left with a picture I'm quite proud of. I cant wait to go again! Our instuctor was Emma and she was awesome. She took us step by step, giving us ample time to finish each step before moving on. She also walked the room assisting wherever anyone needed. At the beginning of class we each put on an apron, Emma went over our tools (canvas, 3 paintbrushes, cup of water, paper towel, and colors...that was it!), and it was time to begin. About an hour in we were given a 15-20 min break to walk around the hotel (our class was held at Embassy Orlando), use the restroom, etc...Once class was over Emma took a picture of each of us, with our paintings, for their FB page. This is perfect for date night (while women dominated, there were guys), ladies night, birthday, etc...No food was served but drinks were on hand for purchase.

I saw a groupon for Paint nite and my friend and i decided to buy it and give it a shot…read more I have gone to Painting with a twist and i figured it would be the same kind of experience. Let me start by saying that the event was sold out so the class was full. The room was loud which made it quite difficult to follow and hear the instructor. I have to say that our instructor did an great job at walking us through the different steps. She also walked around the room to help anyone who needed advice or any kind of assistance. She also gave us a 15 mins break to touch up/ finish up, refill our drinks, etc. My criticism for the class is as follows: 1) I felt that the room we had was too small for the size of the class 2) I think the seating should have been better arranged. My friend and I had our backs to the instructor making it hard to follow 3) I know paint nite is supposed to be a great time with friends but at the same time I feel it is important to respect the other participants so that they could also enjoy the experience. My overall experience was OK. I completed the painting but it didn't really look like the example because I skipped a few step, being unable to hear the instructor. I'd like to reiterate that the instructor was AWESOME and did a good job. Some of the participants were loud and it made it hard for others to enjoy.
