Winfree Academy Charter School (Grapevine)
These reports about this school have to be fake, because I transferred to this school because it seemed different and my pace is very fast since this school is "self-paced". Although i am here for my second year and this school is anything but self paced. The principal does nothing for any student that needs something done. The teacher's sit around saying they are too busy to help you. "Self-paced" does not mean you have to wait on your teacher who is not willing to help you. I have already paid in full for this coming up semester of community college, which i should already be ready for if this school was actually self-paced. My last teacher i have won't let me progress in the class and won't help me learn.
Overall this school is a terrible choice. I would not recommend going to this school unless you are forced to. This school should only be for pregnant girls, and kids that were kicked out, because even if you are a straight A student, like i am, they will still treat you like a delinquent that doesn't deserve their time, and only deserves to be treated like dirt.

Which Grades and Subjects?

How is it Scored?
