BEWARE - Horrible charter school chain! The teachers are great but the administration and management are the worst! I will be transferring my kids out at the end of this school year. Family engagement is an absolute joke (non-existing). They don't want parent involved because they don't us to know what's taking place behind that concrete jail they call a school.

In recent years, there has been a dramatic changes at The Accelerated Schools. Students and Teachers are so happy at work. They have invested in the well-being and learning of our children, including providing socio-emotional counseling, technology upgrades including laptops, and mindfulness sessions such as yoga. Several teachers now bring their children to this school which is a testimony of the care of TAS educators, including teachers, staff, and school leadership.

I would rate it a zero. I am planning on transferring my children out of these schools because I have had enough. Parents beware these schools have gone down hill just like the student said that posted her review on this site.

I am the parent of a 4th grade student at The Accelerated School. My son has been at The Accelerated School since Kinder and he absolutely loves his school, especially his teacher Ms. Nguyen. Last year he attended Troy Camp, which is one of the many programs the school offers. The teachers always manage to find a variety of student activities at no cost to the parents. Some activities include Read to Succeed and The Colburn School. The Projects and Events Committee has done an amazing job all year long. My son really enjoyed being part of the TAS Talent Show, Spelling Bee, and Story Book Parade.

Two Words: Rigorous and Challenging! Elementary and Middle teachers at TAS truly understand the importance of preparing students for the rigorous demands of the Common Core State Standards and providing effective and engaging instruction that challenges students to think critically. I've seen students grow and blossom into competitive young scholars, ready to tackle the University of their Choice. Teachers are constantly reviewing student assessment data to ensure that students are making requisite growth. Talk about true Accountability.! All in all, if you want a public school that can provide your child with a challenging, enriching, and rigorous education, I think TAS is the place to be. I also really like the teachers. Teachers care, put on their A-Game for their students day in and day out, and their enthusiasm/passion for education is infectious. TAS is definitely a great place for young educators to grow into strong instructional leaders. Many teachers thrive here!

TAS is a great school! Students are challenged and supported, teachers are professional and caring, and the administration keeps things running smoothly.

I think this school has really fallen apart in the past few years. As a veteran student, being here from Kindergarten to 10th grade, this school is constantly changing its administrative positions, especially principals and assistant principals. They are very finicky about their rules and will allow certain rules on circumstantial events. Claims to be strict on uniform policies but allow students to substitute jeans for nave blue khakis (for middle school) and students to not wear uniform shirts. The school is more focus on discipline. Counselors are never found in their offices, but seen roaming the campus. Although the school is very well oriented on academics, they do tend to not renew the contracts of teachers who do well and teach their students. They plan on building a larger campus for ACES, which should really hold all elementary students from both TAS and ACES, to allow more room for the middle schoolers and WAHS. As I student at this school for 10+ years, this school has fallen far from the glory it once was.
