Fulton Science Academy Reviews

They teach Science but that is all.  They use the math program that Fulton County tried and discarded.  It works with 12-15 students but with the growth of the school it is no longer effective.  They have no decent Spanish department and the Language Arts program offers very little.  If your child has an IEP or a 504 you will battle with this school every day.  The teachers do not understand that this is a federal mandate and not just a suggestion.  They seem to have lost their original direction.  If your kid makes all A's and is the perfect student then they will be fine.

Example reviews:

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
