Allen Academy
This school made my child feel like she was on top of the world by literally passing her without her deserving it....I wouldn't recommend this school to any parent who cares about their child's education or their childs safety. They were locking the kids in school to keep other students from entering, and the security guard couldn't find the key...thank God it wasn't a fire.
