It has been okay. Def problems with the admin, needs lots of people fired. The teachers never really stay and have left kids with lots of gaps in their learning as they haven't had a steady curriculum.

I have enjoyed my time at The Academy for Technology and the Classics. There were many good music and arts programs, along with a heavy focus on college preparation. This focus included a lot of required AP classes and general help when applying for colleges and scholarships.

The teachers are horrible. There is no support for the students. There is much bullying and the staff does not help at all. There is one male teacher that makes the female students very uncomfortable and no one does anything about it. The students are overwhelmed with work and they get no support.
