We have all three go. My youngest daughter was super strong in all areas except two. My oldest son is doing algebra I in 8th grade. He was strong in most areas with a few missing. Both older kids struggled on some parts of the assessment because they were not allowed to use calculators. Apparently, they both make straight A's in middle school because they know how to use a calculator. Thirty days later attending 3 days a week and oldest son and youngest daughters are great with masteries on weak areas. My oldest daughter is going 4-5 days a week to get ready for Algebra I after taking no pre-Algebra classes. I ask my kids how is it? All of them say...Mathnasium teaches math in such a way that makes it easier and faster to learn. I am a huge fan of this place because I have seen how they took two young kids confused by common core (youngest does not have it) and turn them into A students and confident in math. This summer will hopefully give all three a strong foundation to continue as they prepare for high school!

Sadly, I've heard negative comments about this school system and our neighborhood. There are always a few bad apples, but I'm proud to have my family here. I was lucky to go to Hoover.

They also have police to prevent visitors from going over to the home side, even to watch bands at halftime​. As band parents, our only motivation to go to the games is halftime but that's just not possible at Hoover. The visitor's seating is also very small so if your school travels well, you're not going to have too much room.
