honestly, this school is not good but not bad and the teachers are interesting if you are looking for a middle school o high school, I highly recommend you don't come here. and a lot of teachers pick favorites and make it so obvious ae deans and staff so are good, but some are extremely rude hope the academy may be a "Christian school" on the outside but on the inside, it is nothing related to God they may act like it but sincerely they are so fake.

I had went to Hope with high hopes that they were what they claimed to be. A religious, caring school that was concerned with helping families and providing a better education and experience for families of all different arenas. But after the three week process of me and my children spending much time and effort we were simply rejected and treated like garbage. The school officials were blatantly told of our experience dealing with their previous school within the initial application of my child being jumped, them not recieving homework and the staff being unresponsive to concerns. The staff themselves lower school admission counselors seen the old school not respond to requests for transcripts and me have to physically go to the school and retrieve them myself. Hope academy had proof that my children were removed and placed into another school at the end of the school year for 35 of the 45 days that their previous school had them marked absent. The other days missing were due to family emergency and a funeral out of state that were reported excused. Any logical human being could clearly know and see that if it was that my children really missed two full months of the school year that I would not still have them in my custody and the school officials at Hope chose to look past proven evidence to punish and deny children who really needed them and deserved a safe positive education. Upon assessment day the upper school admission counselor Kayla placed my just barely 11 year old daughter in a closed off room with two other students who spent the entire 3 hours cussing around her as she was expected to give them exemplary test scores in an environment with absolutely no adult supervision. They then proceeded to tell me that my daughter is considered a title 1 student that they just do not have space nor time for her. Hope is simply a guise collecting scholarships and state funding in portrayal of the lord and many things they claim to be yet are not. The director of admissions Cara admitted that yes, what they were doing was wrong but because the previous school did not get back to them and admit that they did not withdraw my students even after multiple requests until August of 2019 and they had proof of all of this that their hidden board of decision makers decided to judge me and my family and refuse them an education.

My family was new this year but we were immediately welcomed and connected. It's an outstanding Christ-centered education. The teachers care about the educational and spiritual success of each child and pray and mentor them. My kids are so happy and they have so many friends.
