Went to summer school there awhile ago. Really wished I had gone there for school since Air Academy High School allowed me to get treated poorly for having learning difficulties

Wonderful school that provides a top-notch education for all students including those who may learn differently. Our daughter struggled in public school and came home every day in tears. At DA her test scores and grades improved dramatically and she has gotten involved in their awesome extracurriculars.

I am the parent of two students with learning differences who attend this school. This is our second year here and this school has been life changing for our family. Our sons receive the accommodations they need and have been allowed the opportunity to be successful and thrive in a supportive environment. The arts and athletic programs have rounded out their experiences here. For the first time we know that our children will have the tools to continue on after high school and attend a four year university. Highly recommend this wonderful school which treats our kids like family.

I am a current student at the DA middle school and i have found my experience over all positive. I believe that the teachers put effort in to not push their political views on the unsuspecting victims that are middle schoolers and they rarely even share it when asked for. As well I have had terrible experiences at prior schools and i almost failed out of one of the but now i have a friendly safe environment where i can flourish. the work is treble and the students may be unkind on occasion but i believe that the staff and teachers try the hardest. but one of the downsides for me is they offer no contact sports as i am a big lacrosse player but they do that for good reason students are unlikely or unwilling to join something where the gear is expensive with little to no prior experience and that is heavily shown in the lack of willingness to have a lacrosse program from the board of directors altho there may be a handful of students who would play the other side outnumbers them by a landslide. but overall DA is a good school that doesnt need misinformed kids spewing absolute nonsense about the teachers liberal views.

Some teachers are amazing I went there 5th-9th grade. Unfortunately their is alot of bullying and the mean teachers out weigh the good ones. Alot of rude mean administration heads. Some good ones but not all. Progressive high school was amazing for the way I learned. They just need to get a handle o n the bullying get progressive back and fire some administration staff. Thats all.

This is a very good school. The teachers are very nice and I enjoyed spending time there. The whole area surrounding DA is very pleasant. I feel very privileged that I got to go there for 2 years.
