I had the opportunity to substitute teach at Acclaim Academy this past April and May 2023. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with the school’s learning environment. This is a safe and clean school and it shows by how engaged and respectful their students are. This is the first school I have experienced with a “no cell phone policy.” This is huge! There are no cell phones allowed during school hours, so there are no distractions in the classroom or on the school premises. As a result, students are totally engaged, respectful, and device distraction-free. How refreshing! Acclaim Academy offers a clean environment. This is also the first school I have experienced with cleaning and custodial services being performed throughout the entire school day from start to finish. The halls, classrooms, and restroom facilities are fresh and spotlessly clean, and the grounds are well maintained. This clean and distraction-free environment enhances learning. Acclaim Academy also reinforces responsibility. This could been seen in laptop charging stations being wheeled from classroom to classroom, essentially following the student with their assigned laptop, rather than students grabbing any laptop from a stationary charging station that remains in each classroom. As a result, the laptops are in excellent condition because each student is responsible for their care. Acclaim Academy’s administration and faculty are dedicated and excellent to deal with. Classrooms are orderly, students are eyes-front and engaged with the teacher and lesson plan at all times. It was a pleasure filling in as a substitute teacher.

Subpa, inconsistent, and emotionally and mentally draining

One of my daughter's children was on Honor Roll at his previous school. This year he is being held to a much higher standard - and he's living up to it! It's great to see all of her children loving going to school each day, expecting the best of themselves in both behavior and academics, and learning things I didn't learn until much higher grades. The people in the office are really helpful and positive. The students are learning Spanish with Rosetta Stone and it's fun to hear them practicing when they talk to each other. They have had some great activities for families including a type of carnival, and Peter Piper Pizza nights. The teachers are there and having fun with the families. All in all, I highly recommend this school. If you are looking for a healthy, positive school for your children to learn a lot, take them to ACCLAIM!

Please families! Take your kids elsewhere! Check out how all the last positive reviews are on the same day. That's not trustworthy at all!

I gave the school a 3 out of 5. I wish there was better communication between the school and parents.

As a parent, I would never bring my child back to this school. Some teachers are not HQ and my child was not given the right education. No supplies nor advance teachnology to help students succeed. I had recently made a comment and it got deleted. Why do you guys delete negative comments. this should help you make your school better. Since Melanie Powers does not bother to take time and speak with parents or teachers. I am so sad the Mrs. Kinball was fired. After she had asked for help from Mrs. powers she was always ignored. Rude comments were said toward her physical disability.

My son is currently attending ACCLAIM but not for much longer. His teacher quit at the beginning of the year and he has gong without a teacher for two months and is now failing! The prinicpal Mrs. Powers refuses to meet with me or other parents in regards to this. She says she is too busy teaching the 8th grade class because they dont have a teacher either. I even requested to meet afterschool to not interrupt class but no one is ever available. THis website helped me choose this school, I chose to ignore the bad reviews, I should have never of done that. They were accurate.

The school changed this year. The secretaries are nice and helpful. There are no substitutes in 7th or 8th grade and there are teachers back from last year and before. The teachers that are new this year are good teachers and they make class interesting. The food is better too.

The school has a lot of rules that are different from the other schools but the teachers help kids feel like the rules are there to help them learn
