I will say that I do not feel that the AYP scores given last year for this school was totally accurate as they were having computer problems at the time of testing.
Both our children at their last report card received straight A's. One got straight A+.
Our youngest child has specific learning disabilities and at her previous school two years ago she was actually regressing academically as was indicated by her report card and progress reports. Within about the first 6 months at Arthur Academy she was brought up to grade level. Just amazing. They use SRA Reading Mastery along with Direct Instruction. Far superior to any Core curriculum previously used at their previous school.
This school was reccomended to us by a private tutoring center that specializes in our daughter's disabilities. They reccomended this school because of their high success rate with this populs. Just outstanding.
If you are looking for a big school with a large play yard and field or extracurricular activiites is your focus then this school might not be a good choice for you. But, if you are interested in strong academics in reading and math with a high success rate then this is definately a school worth looking into it.
We have nothign but praise for this school. More schools should follow their approach.
