Mission Academy

Glad they closed. Waste of money. This is for rich folks who can give their kids wealth and don’t care if they can read or get educated.

Mission Academy is a school that has come along way. I look forward to this school continuing to grow as the years progress. This school is small and I feel my child gets a lot of one on one interaction.

A number of parents have tattoos and/or colored hair etc, no one is singled out or treated differently bases on this because they are adults not children. In such a diverse community it seems wrong to criticize another adult over the color of their hair.

The school has a few slacks but the majority are really good. I can't think of a campus where everyone is perfect.

I feel homework packets should be sent home during the breaks, to keep the information fresh in kids heads.

If you need help just ask someone always calls me back and assist me with whatever I need. I always feel welcome

This by far has to be the worst school I have ever encountered. It is not parent friendly at all. The majority of the staff needs a serious attitude adjustment. Most are too old and grouchy to be dealing with young children. Especially the heavy set old man who acts as the crossguard and the rest of the volunteers that are at the entrance in the mornings. The principal does not seem to want to be bothered with any of the parents concerns. In the mornings I am expected to just drop my 4 YEAR OLD daughter off at the crosswalk and just pray that she finds her way to her classroom safely. I was told there would be someone to guide her every morning but have come to find through a family friend who works there that this is not true. I have seen several other parents share my same concern for their children but the principal does not want to hear it. She wants to enforce the same policies on 4-5 year olds as she does on 8th grade students. Which in my opinion is truly ridiculous. Children that young can get lost and easily walk out through one of the many exits, especially since there is not enough supervision in the hallways. In the afternoons, pick up is terribly chaotic. On top of taking nearly half an hour just to be able to get my daughter, I have had my child handed to the wrong parent twice in less than a week. They don't even look back, they just bring the child out the gate and go back in without taking a second glance. They have so many volunteers in the morning and afternoon making sure parents don't park in certain areas. Instead of focusing so much on parking, they should focus on organization and safety of the students. This whole school is a joke, it is such a shame being that the building itself is very nice. Needless to say I am actively searching for a new school for my daughter.

It is the 2nd week of school and there still has not been any homework.

The faculty and staff plays favorites when it comes to the students and parents. They are extremely rude to anyone who does not agree with them.

This school has the least hands on principle I've ever seen 2014. If you have any concerns don't expect the principal do anything or respond to your emails. There are no sports activities at this school even though they have a gym, baseball field, and track. If you want your kids to play sports they have to play for another school. Apparently there is no dress code for teachers. There are many dressed inappropriate and are allowed to have shockingly unnatural hair color. That's really not a great role model for young impressionable kids. Also be prepared for recurring hair in food or even frozen lasagna. This school staff lacks professional personality and more than that a leader.

This school is not family friendly! No parent participation allowed during Christmas activities was a real bummer. You got to watch out on the activities they advertise as "family fun" 9 times out of 10 the activity is dull and lacking for the entire family. My daughter has seen a sub more this year than her own teacher. When I went for a conference she could not even get off of her phone long enough to take care of a simple concern. During her updating her Facebook status she informed me that she was trying to have a baby!!! Not to be rude or anything I personally did not want to know that. My daughter was the issue not the teachers sex life! This school would be last choice if I had to choose again. Thank goodness we are moving out of state soon. The only pro to this school is the building itself!

The faculty is structured and intelligent. The counselor is very active with student s during iplay. The library needs an upbeat theme but all in all great school for learning.

I myself have been in search of a new school. I truly hope that this year will be different with a new princiapal and new vice principal. I hope that this year the school will focus on the children's academic teachings rather than fundraising. I am do happy the bold principal has left I found her very rude and cruel to the kids. I also hope that teachers have matured as well and will be held accountable for their actions. Last year there was an incident where a teacher physically approached my child and all tha was done was my child got repremanded instead. Brooks Is another option but after reading the reviews it sounds scary. And Connell is not an option either.

The Principal is a very rude and unfriendly person. I'm feel so unwelcomed when I step foot into Mission Academy. I live so close, I hate to think I have to do research and find a better school for my children that is not as close as Mission Academy is to my house. This Principal leadership style is terrible and she needs to be retrained or replaced ASAP. I'm pulling out my five students next school year.

Outstanding School, this public school has earned 2 Recognized and 1 Exemplary status in the past 3 years of existence. Teachers are outstanding and the principal is outstanding.

It is sad that we live so close to the school that I have to take my kids to another school. Principal is not polite, she does not know how to treat people, just the ones she really knows. Teachers do not care either about students, there is not control with older students. Teachers just care to teach basic stuff and not encourage them to do more and to learn more. I called school to let them know that my soon will not attend mission academy anymore, they said that I have to fill out paperwork to withdrawn him from school, so I went to the school at the registration day to do the paperwork and the lady said that I do not need to do anything, she does not even know who was my son's teacher when I mentioned. Staff is always busy doing fundraisers rather than pay attention of what they need to do.

This is a horrible school. The Principal does not care about her children especially the older kids. The kids get no incentives for doing good for anything (Awards) until finally now at the end of the year shes finally doing something. She is a very rude lady except to her favorite people. This school needs someone with experience for little and older children, especially someone who knows how to handle the older and show them discipline and how to act with smaller kids around. Older children will be cussing in hallways and hugging each other. Will not send my children here next year, I'd rather pay to send them somewhere else.

Mission Academy is a 5 star school and I would recommend it to any family for thier children. The Principal, administration and teachers are very one on one with my child and us as parents THUMBS UP TO ALL THE PRINCIPAL AND THE ADMINISTRATION FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THEY ARE DOIN.

Terrible school. The Teachers don't care if a child is learning. The Teachers are rude and tell the children their personal problems. The Teachers joke and entertain the children. Sex, Drugs and Rap at this school. The Principal is shocked to learn that a Student is failing at the last week of the school year. Fights are the norm. Biting is the norm. Citations are the norm.
