| 9/25/2012 | parent | Great school!!! Last year were my kids first year there but it was such a big improvement. My kids are learning a lot of things. Math and Science classes are so far beyond what they are teaching them in the public schools. Class sizes are right around 22 even for middle school and high school. When my oldest son was going to a public school, his 5th grade class were 35 kids. This school may not be tuition free but for $125 per semester and a total of $250 for the whole year, it might as well be free. They actually spend the bulk of their money on the rent on the building. Despite the limited funding they get, Coral Academy of Science Las Vegas actually do far more than the quality of education your kids will receive at any charter schools and public schools in the valley.Teachers are very caring and they really challenge the kids. |
| 9/25/2012 | parent | Three words-- disorganized, overcrowded, unsafe! My son attended there and I had a huge concern for his safety, school is overall disorganized and classrooms are small and overcrowded! The school does not have the right facilities, no lunch room, computer room, library, nurse! Wonder where the money is going! Do not send your children there! |
| 9/23/2012 | parent | This is my child's first year at Coral. She is very happy at this school. No bullying. Only 20 students in her class and all of her teachers care for her academics and learning. Finally she is being challenged now. She can stay for clubs and extra help after school; and they are all FREE. |
| 9/23/2012 | parent | I am vary happy with the school and its staffs. The teachers are very friendly, teaching very good. Teachers care for the students much. children who had difficulties in Math, now they say they like math so much. I think this is because of the teachers. Also, there is an extraordinary change with the students' behavior in good condition. |
| 9/7/2012 | parent | Coral Academy of Science in a nutshell: 1. Disorganized, disorganized, disorganized. 2. NOT FREE TUITON. 3. Extremely high teacher turn over rate. 4 Treat parents like a nuisance. 5. Over crowded, because they want the money. 6. NO NURSE....meaning if your child is seriously hurt or needs an epi pen, good luck. 7. All campuses have separate rules, and changes constantly. 8. Administration is COLD. They don't really care, it's all an act. 9. Teachers are hired from Turkey to teach major core classes and they can barely speak English. 10. Gulenist School? A meeting was held and it wasn't denied nor confirmed....look it up extensively. Three years ago, I chose this school because I valued education and wanted something better than CCSD. I now see through the smoke and mirrors. They want the money, money, and money.Education is secondary. I pulled my three children out today because the entire second grade class has been picking up random trash on the playground because their janitor quit. The younger schools are ran like military schools and not elementary. There's no cafeteria and the lunch provided costs $5.00 a day. I'm now going back to CCSD, and am very happy about my choice. |
| 8/25/2012 | parent | I have two children in this school. Both are now in the upper campus. I originally moved my oldest child because he was getting bullied in public school and he is now happy and has a great set of friends from families who value intelligence and education. My younger child moved last year and entered from public reading in the 47% percentile. By the end of the year she was reading in the 80% percentile. I attritube this to the dedication of the staff, the free tutoring she got afterschool, and the dedication of our family to help her catch up. As with everything school related...it takes a team. If you are from a family who is willing to put in the effort, the Coral Academy Team is willing to work with you and help your child reach her fullest potential. Don't get worried about the mild disorganization at the begining of the school year... this is what happens when a school invests money in the students and not in massive overhead and administration like CCSD does. By the end of the second week everything falls into place. Overall, I love this school! |
| 8/9/2012 | other | I used to go to this school, but I got the heck out before High School. A lot of the teachers are great, many that I have I wish I could take them with me so they can teach me forever! They need to work on EVERYTHING else though. This year, at Sandy Ridge campus, they're getting rid of lockers. That's right, lockers! The sports program is terrible and barely there. Maybe in a couple years they'll have better sports (I hope so). And the P.E. class is as bad as it gets. The male teacher is creepy and the female is fresh out of college with a voice that makes you squirm. It isn't a class that gets any blood moving or gives any insight into how sports really work. The campus is not really suited for higher grade levels, as it completely lacks a gym, still has tiny toilets, and has TWO playgrounds. One of them is about at big as I am. I would definitely recommend this for younger children, but if you have an older middle schooler of a high schooler that isn't completely and full heartedly invested in academics and nothing else, try somewhere different. |
| 5/30/2012 | other | Im a student. I love this school! I used to get bullied! Now I dont. And one of my teachers worked at a public school. If they dont have a degree, then the public school didnt either! |
| 3/27/2012 | parent | This school has been amazing for both of my children. I have one in the lower and upper campus and both are challenged and have teachers who care about them. The school has grown quite a lot but it still remains the best option in a state that invests very little in public education. |
| 3/19/2012 | parent | Just to clarify to the last review. Mr. Yutac has been at the school when they first started five years ago as an advanced Spanish teacher not PE. Also, has been involved with many school events every year to raise funds etc so he knows a lot about the school. It's a charter school so you make due with what you get, the building in particular which is a lot better then what they started with. The main focus for this school is academics so as a parent if that's what your concered about then this is a great school. The kids are more challenged in the core subjects then any public schoolthat my kids went to. |
| 3/16/2012 | parent | If you really want to send your kids in a place that does not even teachers with a degree send them here. The Dean of this school Jonathan Yutac was the PE teacher last year. They do not even have a gym they take the kids to a park nearby. you pay $225 every semester and only 5% of it goes to the classes and they still use books from 1995 . Please consider my advise. |
| 11/16/2011 | parent | We are happy parents of a child who attends this school. There is great focus on academics and the teachers are dedicated. Wonderful environment! |
| 3/6/2011 | other | This school is of great value and benefit to all students and parents.They are very hands on with their students. |
| 12/1/2010 | parent | this school is amazing. They emphasize the importance of learning to each child and parent. The education my child has received is amazing in every way. I have spoken to parents that have allowed their children to leave this school in favor of public high schools and they are very disappointed. Wouldn't change a thing. |
| 11/30/2010 | parent | I switched my children to this school because I believed public was failing them. This is the best thing I've ever done for my children. Unlike many parents who switched to this school I switched because my one child was struggling at public. I fought for intervention at everyone kept saying he was fine even though his grades continued to slip. At Coral his grades have improved dramatically and more importantly I feel like he is learning and progressing again. The teachers intervene if they see trouble. The homework load is very challenging. This school is much more work if you have a child who is not an academic achiever. With that, my kids are both happy and thriving. This is the best thing I've ever done for my children. |
| 11/9/2010 | parent | Their vision and comitment to teach students for a successful future. |
| 11/9/2010 | parent | Science programs are great, because it give the kids the opportunity to explore and use their imagination. specially if they love experimenting . |
| 11/8/2010 | parent | Because my child learn a lot! |
| 11/7/2010 | parent | The curriculum is better than public school, and less expensive than private school. In addition, the class is small around 18-20 children. |
| 11/7/2010 | parent | My children have been in the elementary school for two years and I feel very fortunate to be a part of the school. The curriculum is challenging and exceptional. The teachers and staff are excellent. My children are doing very well at the school and are very happy. I can't say enough good things about Coral Academy Las Vegas. |
| 11/6/2010 | teacher | an excellent school.have seen and taught in innumerable schools but none come near this.wonderful in every way,teachers,administration,attitute,policies,setup curriculum EVERYTHING. |
| 11/6/2010 | parent | I love Coral Academy of Science Las Vegas because it provides my granddaughter, Kamila Simmons, an excellent education!! |
| 11/6/2010 | parent | I love my child's school!! The teachers individualize the lesson plans to the child's need, not where everyone else is! My daughter's skills have been increased, and she loves the social and educational oppurtunities. |
| 11/6/2010 | parent | Great community vibe. Great teaching staff. Kids come home excited about their experience. |
| 11/6/2010 | parent | Great school with a great curriculum, intent on each childs education. |
| 11/5/2010 | parent | The teachers are passionate- from the art teacher, music teacher, home room teachers, computer teacher... we are very happy here. |
| 11/5/2010 | parent | Because it excels in academia |
| 11/5/2010 | other | It ofers a unique learning environment with fewer students per class than many other schools. It provides children with the tools they will need to be successful in the future. |
| 11/5/2010 | parent | I love Coral Academy of Science because both of my children are getting great educations! |
| 10/25/2010 | parent | Excellent school, great curriculum, wonderful teachers, awesome clubs, fantastic specials....coming from a public and a magnet school, this school is the Best. |
| 10/24/2010 | parent | coral academy has been a wonderful asset especially our science teacher and social studies teacher, we have so many clubs here! |
| 10/19/2010 | parent | They focus on the the students and not the politics! The kids come first! |
| 10/19/2010 | parent | This is our first year at Coral and my son love the challenge. He like the fact that even if he is in 3rd he is doing 4th or higher grade work. As a parent he as learned a lot in this last 3 months of school. |
| 10/13/2010 | parent | I could never get through on phone or email. Scary! What if there was a family emergency? Corporate Circle was a terrible place for a school. An accident waiting to happen! I understand they have moved to a different location perhaps now they will get it together! |
| 10/13/2010 | parent | Beacuse my kids love this school |
| 10/5/2010 | parent | They have a limited number of kids per class, so my children get the attention they need, they offer free tutoring, and having uniforms help my children to be themselves and just concentrate on school. The teachers are very concerned about the children and that they excell in their learning. My children love Coral Academy and said they dont want to go to any other school. |
| 10/1/2010 | parent | Because I love my nephew and that is where he goes and he loves his school. Couldn't be happier. |
| 9/28/2010 | parent | Easy, informative, learning atmosphere is enjoyable for all |
| 9/24/2010 | other | This is an amazing school not only for students, but for parents as well. |
| 9/24/2010 | parent | My son just started this school year and so far he loves it. I first learned about Coral at my son's Kumon center. It seems like there's quite a lot of students going there and upon doing research, I heard great things about the curriculum, teachers and the school overall. I think this is the place where my child can grow, be challenged, if not improve academically. |
| 9/24/2010 | other | I was a student here for about two weeks until i transferd to odyssey charter school. Coral was a HORRIBLE school for me. I was in 6th grade and i had a misreable time. The teachers were not nice. They yelled. Alot. If your thinking about going to this school, Dont! It was by far one of the most bad experiences for me ever. |
| 9/22/2010 | parent | This school, administration, staff and faculty, truly puts their heart and soul into what they love the most- their students! |
| 9/22/2010 | parent | Coral Academy's curricum is designed to meet the needs of all the students. The teaching staff encourages the students to think outside the box to achieve a well rounded understanding of the subject matter. |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | Awesome commitment to the students,these kids are treated like individuals and whole enviroment,administration,teachers work together like a family. My son has settle down very well and loves it. Loads of attention to on great afterschool activites. Just happy that I chose Corel I would have no hestitation on sending my other kids there. |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | My eldest daughter attended a private kindergarten, and then a magnet school all through elementary and now attends Coral Academy. I was happy with Kindergarten and hugely disappointed in the magnet school, but have been deeply satisfied by the staff at Coral Academy and the commitment they have for the students. I've seen first hand how important each and every child is to the staff. My son has just started as Kindergartener...I see the same care at his campus as well! There are clubs and tutoring available for the kids, and the curriculum is excellent. I have nothing but praise for CASLV!!! |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | My son just started here this year and loves it, so far. The teachers seem to be very dedicated and he absolutely loves his homeroom teacher, Mrs. Saia. |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | The administrators and the teachers are very interested in the childrens education and well being. They go way beyond!! |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | I love Coral Academy of Science in Las Vegas because my nephew is so happy at his school. He really loves school because they do such a great job there. It is rare to find kids so happy about being in school. I am greatful for Coral Acdemy for providing a wonderful education and terrific environement for my nephew. |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | Coral Academy Of Science Las Vegas has improved my daughters education. They've been given the opportunitry to advance academicly. |
| 9/21/2010 | parent | CASL prepares my 2 kids both academically,emotionally and mentally for the challenges in college. |
| 9/20/2010 | parent | This is my daughters first year. So far, so good! She is in !st grade and really seems to like it. |
| 9/20/2010 | parent | The staff is very dedicated and always willing to help in any way. Classrooms are not crowded and curriculum is way better than what the public schools offer. Awesome school without the hefty price. |
| 9/20/2010 | parent | The staff are amazing and are always willing to go above and beyond. The curriculum is strong and I appreciate the fact that they break the kids up based on their academic ability. My kids love Coral Academy of Science. |
| 9/20/2010 | other | I think Coral Academy is a wonderful school. The classes are smaller and they really care about the kids. The top science winners have come from this school and competed with others across the nation. They test the children and teach according to their abilities. They communicate with the parents so they know what is going on in the school and with their child at all times. Everyone collaborates and works together to benefit the children. |
| 9/20/2010 | parent | My son in in his first year at Coral Academy of Science. He has been attending Del Webb Middle School but he did not feel that he was being challenged enough. He now feels that he is and he enjoys going to school much more than before. Last year he never had homework but that is not the case now. My wife and I are very pleased with the curriculum he has now and have seen vast improvement in his schoolwork. |
| 6/14/2010 | parent | Excellent School! Excellent Staff! Does anyone know where the new upper campus location will be? |
| 6/1/2010 | parent | I had to remove my son from this school mid-year. He was failing three classes and suffered some very egregious and inappropriate treatment from some of his teachers. A few months later, at his new school, he has just joined the National Honor Society and is on the honor roll. Same boy, same parents - different teachers. We tried and tried to work with them - the Principal and Vice were more committed to their own philosophy rather than the child's best interest. Their loss- he's better off now. |
| 5/16/2010 | parent | This my son's first year at Coral. We were lucky enough to start with Kindergarten. I cannot say enough good things! The teacher's and the staff are so caring. It's all about the KIDS and it shows. My son is working above grade level, is challenged and loves school! Each child is treated as an individual, not a number! The parent involvement is great! Teacher's and Parents have worked very hard to make the school a success! I recommend this school to anyone that wants a challenging but warm environment for their child. This is how schools should work! |
| 4/16/2010 | parent | My kid just loves the school. After school activities are very good. highly recommended |
| 2/5/2010 | parent | My son loves school now and looks forward to going everyday! This is our first year with CASLV. He is challenged based on his abilities not his grade level and is truly challenged for the first time. I love the fact that when I conference all the fourth grade teachers come together to meet with me at the same time so I do not have to have individual conferences. The teachers are also always will to take time to discuss my child and help him be successful. In addition to this I have noticed that the whole staff works together and there is not conflict between teachers or grade levels as there was in the district school. This school is truly the best and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants their child to have a solid college prep education |
| 1/26/2010 | teacher | Great school, I love to work here! |
| 10/23/2009 | parent | Coral Academy Of Science, Las Vegas is the best school! My daughter is a first grader and this is our first year attending. my daughter loves school and she struggles to stay challenged. Coral works with her and anticipates her needs, challenging her in the areas she needs to be challenged. The staff and teachers are always willing to stop and speak with me whenever I have a question. My daughter is being prepared for college (even now), so there |
| 10/19/2009 | parent | Education is important to the teachers they stay after and welcome the students to study there on Sat. The prepeation for college is top of the line !! |
| 10/17/2009 | parent | very good staff,great teachers,high level of education.warm environment. |
| 10/16/2009 | parent | Our daughter couldn't wait to get back to school from summer break! She is always so excited to go to school. She loves her teachers and tells us what she learns on a daily basis and we love the curriculum. Staff challenge students to be and do their best at school and at home.The staff is respectable and helpful when it comes to parents with concerns. Coral staff is the friendliest and by far the best we have ever come across!!! It shows by the way they treat our children that they value them for who they are and not just what they can accomplish. We are so blessed to have found you Coral!!! |
| 10/15/2009 | parent | Coral Academy has teachers that really care about their kids and they love what they do . You can see the difference in the kids that attend this school and our third grader is not only learning but enjoys school. We are so pleased with the curriculum and you know it is the right place when you pick up happy smiling kids at the end of school day. Thank you Coral Academy!!!! |
| 10/13/2009 | parent | Coral Academy of Las Vegas is an excellent school. The staff is wonderful and always there to assist. The teachers are amazing and go above and beyond to educate the students. |
| 10/13/2009 | parent | What is there not to love about Coral?! The teachers are great about communicating with us (the parents) to let us know what things are going on. They have many programs to keep our children engaged, and really encourage our kids to be their best and work their hardest. My kids are pushed and challenged to do better than I believe even they know they could do. |
| 10/13/2009 | parent | This is our first year there... and that is enough for me to say this is the best school my daughter has gone to . The teachers are awesome! My daughter was very unhappy at her old school. Everyday my daughter comes home now excited about what she has learned. We are sooooo happy to have made the move to Coral Academy!! Keep up the great work CASLV!!!! |
| 10/13/2009 | parent | Challenges the students minds and helps them to excell at their level. They go above and beyond the call of duty, very parent involved and very aware of all that needs to be done to have a successful curriculum. We are very pleased and will continue to have our children involved and enrolled at this school. CASLV is great. |
| 10/8/2009 | parent | Love the higher level of academics the kids get in math and science according to their abilities and not their age or grade. |
| 10/7/2009 | parent | The student teacher interaction. The staff care about the kids and making sure they recieve the beat possible education. |
| 10/6/2009 | parent | Coral Academy caters to the needs of every student. They offer accelerated classes to challenge those students who are above the learning curve, while still giving the students who are right on schedule or a little behind there grade level an equal opportunity to excel. The staff cares about each child, and they offer many after school clubs. |
| 10/6/2009 | parent | This is first year for my 2 kids. They love it !!! Since they started this school, I can see big improvement of time management for homework and reading. Before putting my kids in this school, I heard some negative side like lack of school supplies. small classrooms,disorganization,not proper playground and so on. But right now those thing don't worry me. We as a parent need great teachers, wonderful school staff. Coral has everything we need. Highly recommend this school !!!!! |
| 10/6/2009 | parent | The people are great and the curriculum surpasses the public school system. |
| 9/30/2009 | parent | It is a great place to work with a dedicated staff. |
| 9/30/2009 | parent | We just started at Coral Academy this year and we love it so far. It's what a school should be! Challenging for the students, with small class sizes,and a dedicated teching staff. |
| 9/30/2009 | parent | Because of all the wonderful teachers and because of the diversity that the school offers |
| 9/23/2009 | parent | The staff and teachers are great. My kids were so unhappy at their last school. This year at Coral Academy has been the answer to our prayers. They now love going to school. THey are excited about what they are learning. Like their teachers and the other kids. |
| 9/23/2009 | parent | Are school allows the kids to learn at there own level. There are kids that are in third grade but doing fifth grade math. My son gets to pick his own books to read and do reports, and also his teacher keeps me up to speed on his progress. It's a great environment for the children. |
| 9/22/2009 | parent | The Coral Academy of Science, Las Vegas Nv. My daughter has been attending this school for two years now and my wife and I couldn't ask for a better mix of staff and carriculum. After having attended public schools for four years prior to attending the Coral academy we couldn't be happier with her current school. |
| 9/21/2009 | parent | There seems to be a harmony there. The focus is on giving my child an education, instead of government bureaucracy. I am grateful this school exists. |
| 9/21/2009 | parent | because i am a teacher there and i have the most amazing students and parents ever i had. |
| 9/21/2009 | parent | Coral Academy has the best curriculum out of all the schools my kids have attended (two prior private schools) and this is a public school. The teachers care, they are interactive, professional, and the kids love the curriculum, the teachers, the school, everything. They teach in a very interactive way and really get the kids involved every step of the way. For the first time, my kids are excited every morning about going to school. My little one couldn't even sleep the first week of school because she was so excited and this was a new school for her. I tell everyone about how great the school is and several kids have moved to this school and their parents have come up to me and said thank you for letting them know about it. Highly recommend this school. |
| 9/21/2009 | parent | I like CASLV because the school challenges my daughter in academia which she did not get at clark county school district. My daughter entered CASLV 5th grade and this is her 2nd year. Since she attended the school, she had taken Accelerated Classes in Math and Science. The school makes it easy for parents to be involve with their childs education. The adminstration and teachers are the best in Las Vegas, NV schools. |
| 9/20/2009 | other | Coral Academy looks at each child as an individual and challenges thusly. |
| 9/20/2009 | parent | It searches for teaching approaches to cater for a broad spectrum of student activities. The school strives for excellence in all aspects of teaching and is proud of its students' achievements in science and maths. Parent involvement in school activities is high and the principle is all around. Everyone is happy to be here. |
| 9/20/2009 | parent | It is close to home and I love the small teacher student ratio. |
| 9/20/2009 | parent | Coral academy has come along way since 2008. It has expanded and has minimal issues at this point other than its parking lot. Academically, it has been an excellent challenging year with small class sizes and caring teachers who tutor for free after school. It offers cultural clubs and languages, sports, arts, science, math and so much more. Parent participation is encouraged, as is student participation in every aspect. Coral is a structured, disciplined facility with encouraging student to perform at their highest levels. Minimal fees and uniforms are required, but for anyone who cannot afford a private school, this is the place for your child to get a great education and cultural experience. |
| 9/20/2009 | parent | Higher lever of education, individual assistance, small class size, after school programs. |
| 9/19/2009 | parent | This school makes my child feel accepted for himself. HHe loves the teachers and students. |
| 9/19/2009 | parent | They goal is to actually educate the kids in a fun environment |
| 9/19/2009 | parent | With the small class size this will get my son the chance to actually learn something. And the teachers really care about their students. |
| 9/19/2009 | parent | Coral has a fantastic curriculum any many wonderful clubs to give my son the absolute best education. |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | Science and technology focused, safe and college preparatory curriculum |
| 9/18/2009 | teacher | The students are amazing! Student body is very diverse and talented academically, musically, and physically! |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | Coral Academy is a school with a focus on higher education. It is geared to teach kids at the level that keeps them motivated and excelling. After being in the private school system for years (and Las Vegas public schools for a few months) we have found the BEST alternative for our children |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | We have found the best option for our kids educational development. Although it is new and working out some kinks, the cirriculum is top notch and I would put it up against any other school in the city. |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | My daughters school is the best of the nation because they have incredible teachers and they work hard for our sons and daughters to get amazing education and goals for there future lives. |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | CASLV offers so many great subjects. Class size is smaller, my son loves this school. We are so pleased that my son attends CASLV |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | It has everything a private school has but is publiclu funded. Best school in the area. |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | I am a former private school parent, and although we loved our school the economy forced us to choose between private school and helping with my ill parents. Coral has been a blessing; starting with didn t miss a beat in the academic department. That says a lot since we came from an academic private school. We did however add all the electives like a real art department, a real music class and in the fourth grade they take Spanish weekly. I also have to add that coming from a school that had 16 3rd graders; I was concerned that my very shy son would be over whelmed. It was just the opposite, he is thankful everyday that we moved schools and he talks about all the new friends that he has been able to make. We where also lucky enough to have several children from our old school that had moved over to Coral so he had the best of both worlds. The teachers hold the children 100% accountable. If you are an involved parent and smart enough to know that your child was talking if the teacher said they where; you will love this school. I have emailed the teachers several times for help, questions, or advice and every single one has been not only helpful but happy to have a dialogue with me and my child. I guess to sum it up, life for us all has been tough the last few years and I put Coral Academy in my win column and can t wait for my daughter to start there next year. |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | It is about the kids - holds them accountable, inspires their creativity, motivates, encourages the fun and excitement of learning arts, science, social studies, math, music and physical ed |
| 9/18/2009 | teacher | This is my first school as a teacher in U.S. |
| 9/18/2009 | parent | Small classes, individual attention. Feeling of community. |
| 9/17/2009 | parent | The Coral Academy of Science is an excellent alternative to public or private school. It has the same feel as a private school (uniforms, etc.), yet the cost is almost nothing. The teachers are fantastic because they know that they are appreciated. It still has that small school atmosphere and class sizes are small. Amazing school! |
| 9/17/2009 | parent | so far this school is the best. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Children are encouraged to succeed and given the toold to do so. |
| 7/6/2009 | parent | Although I remained after the first year of operation, I withdrew my child shortly after the second year began. Disorganization is a recurring theme and the phone system has trouble linking parents with a live person at the school. There is no intercom system that links the entire school and no play equipment for students other than a sport court. The teachers care deeply but are stretched thin and asked to head up clubs in the afternoon. Hopefully, the administration will communicate more effectively with families to help alleviate some of the anxiety that comes with a campus split. The school has potential but because it has been adding additional grade levels each year, things never seem to really resolve. With the school beginning it's third year there is little hope that things will calm down this year with the addition of K-2 and 11th to an existing 3-10th grades. |
| 5/4/2009 | parent | My daughter is currently in 5th at Coral Academy,and I think it's a great school! The actually size of the classroom is a little small for the number of students, but that is easily overlooked. The teachers are awesome, the only reason I have not enrolled my son is because I do find them somewhat lacking in special education. I think it would be great if they offered more in regards to special ed. As for disorganization, it's the first year for the k-5 in the new building. They are just settling in and I think they are getting it under control. I haven't experienced the 6-12 building yet, but I am kind of weary with county building down the street and the West Hills next door, it just doesn't seem to be an appropriate place for a school. Overall this is a great school. |
| 5/3/2009 | parent | The school does have some disorganization due to the rapid growth it is experiencing. However; that growth is due to the fact that it offers an excellent alternative to the parents who want to get out of the CCSD budget deprived schools, but cannot afford the tuition at a private school. Coral offers excellent academics, class size, and student teacher interaction. I am happy to have my two children enrolled. |
| 4/1/2009 | parent | this school has far to go. Disorganization abounds and there are no firm answers from the administration regarding a split of campuses which seems inevitable if they are adding grades K,1,2, and 11 to their existing 3-10 grades. They need some time to get their act together before they will be a school of excellence. |
| 1/20/2009 | parent | School is rather disorganized; too much turnover with teaching staff; too small for the number of students attending. Uniforms and emphasis on discipline are useful. |
| 9/4/2008 | parent | Coral Academy of Science has gone through a huge interest surge and is doubled in school size for yr 2008-09. I transferred my 4th grader in this year and like the curriculum and staff. Uniforms are a plus. The school uses Saxon Math, which is not the best for experiential learning, but the educators are listening to parents. The facility (which housed a daycare/preschool) will need to be upgraded over time, and other capital improvements will enhance the learning experience. Overall a good choice for those parents looking to enroll their child in a private-school environment focused on math, science and growing the well-rounded student. Non-tuition based, but annual fee of $400 and uniform costs. |
