Creative Connections Arts Academy

this is a great school for the grades of k-5(elementary school). but the junior high and highschool campus is terrible. the teachers are rude. there is almost no challenge,and there are not as many offers as there could be in a public school. i would recommend the elementary school. but not the junior high or high school.

My children go to this school and I am very pleased that they are getting an arts education along with a solid academic education as well.
