    Let's just say we live out of the district and make the commute so that our children can attend this fine school. Enough said.

    I like this school. My son has made an easy transition here from elementary school. I think they do…read morea good job with the academic programs. They offer homework assistance before school every morning in the library starting at 8 am. My son doesn't utilize it, but I'm sure if he needed to we would. He's been able to maintain an A average all year. His teachers are great. I love that they all embrace technology in the classroom, a marked improvement from elementary school. I especially love his speech and language therapist, she is just fantastic. She made the transition so smooth for him. I wish everyone had her excitement and passion for work. She is a great asset to this district. I know his life and time at Parkway Middle School is vastly improved for having her in it. Rather than focusing on past issues I have had with the district, I would just like to say that my experience with this school has been much more positive and I feel that my son has definitely experienced a better environment over here. I've also witnessed how they deal with behavior issues while on campus picking my son up for appointments. I was pleased with the approach; it was firm, fair and consistent.

    I went to this school from 2016-2018. The teachers and some students were the best part of this…read moreschool. This school had many problems there were always sex scandals, theft, fights, an inappropriate teacher, and dress code issues with certain females including myself. There were often sex scandals because certain people would go to the bathroom together. In 8th grade a incident happened in the female locker room where 8 iPhones were stolen and they couldn't do anything about it (they found the person and they weren't disciplined). If a locker in the female locker room was unlocked while everyone was at P.E. things would certainly be stolen from their locker. There is a park next to this school where several students would go and fight. They would get into a argument at school and then take it to the park to avoid getting in trouble. At this school when I was in the 8th grade I had a inappropriate history teacher. There was this one incident where one day I was wearing distressed jeans and I noticed my teacher staring at me walking to the classroom in the hallway when I was close enough he told me,"nice jeans your wearing today". I felt embarrassed and never looked at him the same, while I was there rumors circulated that he acted like a pedophile and was creepy. There was another incident in my classroom where my classmate had a hole in the back of her pants and didn't notice so the teacher escorted her out and was looking the whole time. Now the next issue is the main reason why I disliked most about this school. There is a huge dress code issue regarding your gender and how you look. Me and many other girls were criticized for wearing holy jeans and certain clothing because we were curvy. There was always just one yard duty who would get mad at us for wearing holy jeans and would make us put paper towels in our jeans to cover up the holes. Meanwhile thinner girls weren't criticized or told to change at all. The boys at this school could wear holy jeans whenever they wanted without any regard. I have even walked In front of the principle wearing distressed jeans and she didn't do anything. Another issue in this school was that females in the bathroom would frequently pull the fire alarms for no reason other to get out of class. Besides these issues in the school I really liked it there and made good friendships that last to this day but I would not recommend this school to others as my 1st choice for future generations.

    We feel incredibly grateful to be part of such a warm, welcoming, and enriching school community…read more From the very beginning, our family has felt supported not just academically, but personally as well. The teachers and staff truly go above and beyond to create an environment where each child feels seen, valued, and encouraged to grow. We currently have three children at the school, and each of them has had such a positive and unique experience. The balance between strong academics and character development is something we deeply appreciate. It's clear that the school is focused on nurturing the whole child, building confidence, kindness, and a genuine love for learning. One of the highlights for our family has been the musical program. Our daughters have been involved in the school musical, and it has been such a meaningful experience for them. Not only have they grown in confidence and creativity, but they've also formed friendships across different grade levels, which has been so special to see. The sense of community that comes from these programs is truly something unique. We couldn't be happier with our experience and feel lucky every day to be part of this amazing school. It's a place where children are encouraged to thrive, friendships flourish, and families feel genuinely connected.

    I have only GREAT things to say about Mt. Helix Academy!!…read more My little 3rd grader has THRIVED at this school. Known to be very shy and often wouldn't participate in class, we were desperate. There wasn't ever any trouble, just no willingness to be part of school functions, class projects, and we were about to succumb to the idea that was just the way it was. No joy for school or even extra-curricular activities. Well... these teachers did amazing things!! My child is like a whole new kid. The small class sizes helped them focus on my child's needs, and the care the teachers showed made such a difference. Now my child loves school, can't wait to "try" math (it can still be hard) and is in the school play! I would have never thought this could happen. I was just looking for a place where a child could feel welcome and loved, and, oh yeah - learn. I am so very thankful that we took a chance on Mt. Helix Academy. I can't recommend them enough!

    I have been working as an educational consultant at GSDA for 7 years. It's not only a job for me,…read moreit's like a second home. GSDA provides an alternative T-K through 12th grade educational setting, appealing to families from all walks of life. It's amazing to watch our homeschool parents learn and refine their homeschooling techniques, and I love being a part of that experience. Our high school independent study program is amazing - students don't slip through the cracks at GSDA because the high school team knows exactly how to address the educational and emotional needs of all types of kids. It is an "everyone knows everyone" type of atmosphere. The consultants go above and beyond to make sure that all students are successful, something that is really hard to find in a traditional high school setting. Working at a small school gives all of us the opportunity to get to know each student personally. I love being able to try different curricula, projects, and teaching techniques with my families. No two kids learn in the same way, and GSDA provides a supportive environment for all types of learners. It's a great place to work!

    Our daughter will be graduating this from GSDA week, and she has had a wonderful experience. After…read moreattending traditional school for many years, and not being happy there, we made the switch to GSDA when she was in ninth grade. She will be attending a 4 year university in the fall, and she feels that this would not have been possible without the support of her consultant and other teachers at GSDA. She became involved in the ASB, and she enjoyed this as well. We are very happy that we made this decision. A lot of parents don't know that there are choices out there, and that they can make a choice that might make a difference for their child's future. Every student is different, and this school makes a great effort to meet each student's needs. Good job, GSDA!

    ok going to some things people do and wear is CRAZY. the staff and some food are a win but some…read morethings just are a MESS! (again nothing about the staff they are nice.) boys sag which is weird and girls are wearing stuff that some HIGH SCHOOL girls do not wear. but I do not want a uniform, nuh-uh. but here are some teachers that are HIGH LITE! 1) Mr. Rielan. he is an awesome music teacher that find good pieces. I went to jazz and was great. my trumpet was broken though, but he is a great teacher. 2) Mr. S. Mr.S is the journalism teacher and english. I have him for english and he is a goat. he is also the owner of the BEST popcorn ever. W popcorn king. also is a student favorite and is nice. cannot forget about the BIGGEST EVENT OF THE YEAR. 3) Mr.Q. he is the only math and social studies teacher who is great and also runs that big event. room 120 and is really funny. 4) Mrs. Reardon. Mrs reardon is a really good tech teacher and is also nice. she does fun projects and will accept late work. get your work done for Friday free time! tech tool box is fun and over all is really good.

    I'm absolutely disgusted with this school! My child attended both years! His fifth grade year was…read moreokay teachers were very communicative and cared about my child's education. 6th grade year was an absolute mess. Beside one or two teachers I was very disappointed in how some of them handled situations. I hardly had any communication with any of his teachers regardless how many times I reached out to find out assignments or any thing regarding my child's education! Also your child will not be able to attend any dances or have a chance at extra "special events" if they have an I in any class. I think it's absolutely ridiculous and separates the "good kids from the bad kids!" This is how my child felt! You do not treat children this way and exclude them from events with their friends. Middle school is hard enough. I will not name the teachers names but I've had to help my child with certain classes because the teacher refused to help let alone teach them! Some homework that was brought home was not discussed in class, and lots of assignments making my child feel overwhelmed. It was a constant fight every night because my child was mentally drained! I have read reviews about Dana and heard by a number of people who have attended there or had their child go there that this place is a mess! I also agree! I'm so glad to be almost done with this school! I can't count how many times my child came home upset from that school and because of its TEACHERS! Good luck if your child has to go here. I would really recommend going somewhere else if you have the means!
