Acclaim Academy
I just want to say this school is a joke. I'm paying alot of kinder fees as it is. I work overnights and when I get home the school would call and tell me if I don't give them the kinder fees before 12pm I would have to pick up my child even when I tell them I would pay it at 4pm when I pick up my kids.also the school board is very unfair there I know my child has issues some days but they make it like they have nothing productive to do but watch everymove my son does. My son get in trouble for the most ridiculous things like your belt has a symbol on the buckle,your shoes are not standard or my best one I ever heard my son wears a sweat jacket thats black but inside the hood is grey they told him he was not able to wear it? I'm glad my son getting kicked out because that school boards a joke. I want to pull my other child out before he also become a target. I rather have my children in a public school then that so called school. Word of advice to other parents out there if your child has issues sometimes Then this school is not for you they will target trouble making children even when your child tried to straighten up. My child was kicked out mostly for dress code and some attitude.
