Hollywood Academy of Arts & Science
This school is mediocre to me. The student to teacher ratio is very incorrect. My child has about 25 students in the class and it has always been like that every year. Also, it states that the school is K-5 which is incorrect because it is K-8.
The principle is reasonable but some of the front desk woman that greet the kids as you enter the school are very impolite and tend to gossip openly in front of the children.
One of my favorite things about the school is that they have a website you can go on daily to check your child’s grades. It allows you to see the scores on each and every assignment your child has taken, pinpoints and breakdowns what in the assignment your child has gotten incorrect and shows what area they need to study harder on.

monique: I love this school. They give the children a sense of pride and community. Each child is spoken to as an individual and my son tells me that he finally found a school that makes him feel good! Yes, they may not have a beautiful classroom with state of the art materials but they CARE and spend quality time TEACHING the kids. I dont know about you but isnt that the most important?!
