FTA isn't worth the money. I think most of these reviews were written by staff or owner. This is a self pace school, which is nice depending on what you're looking for. My son was assigned a teacher, but there's no contact with her or anything. I'm the teacher. They had an issue where the systems were down and my son wasn't able to do any work for two days, the school failed to notify me. When I called to inquire about what was going on, I was met with attitude and disrespect by Ken, the admissions associate. Ken explained he was upset about the system issues as well and that's why he was yelling at me, the consumer. He apologized for his tone, but continued to address me the same disrespectful way. I still don't understand why he had the right to be mad, when I was the one being cheated out of time and money. I reported him and haven't heard anything back yet. My son has already been accepted into another school next year and I can't wait to be done with FTA. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! There are better options for online education than FTA.

When he took the placement test, he was able to advance into college classes due to the excellent currulum he had completed with FTA. FTA taught hm effective study skills to succeed. He has now graduated with his high school diploma and AA degree.

Forest Trail Academy gives students flexibility! Forest Trail Academy gives students great flexibility. Our curriculum is rigorous and standards based. The school is fully accredited. In addition to traditional curriculum, students also learn time management and how to be self starters. These skills will help them in college and beyond.

Forest Trail Academy is Excellent Forest Trail Academy is an excellent alternative to the traditional public school. My daughter has special needs and could not advance academically at the public school. Since enrolling at Forest Trail Academy, she is working at grade level and truly enjoys doing school work. Being able to work at her pace has been beneficial in helping her grasp new concepts. She also benefits from the one on one time we have while she is doing school work. I definitely recommend Forest Trail Academy.

Held our grandson's credits "hostage"… Held our grandson's credits "hostage" when we chose to take him out after 8 months for financial reasons. He never got the credits and it put him farther behind in school. BEWARE! As far as their competence as an educational institute, they seemed fine.
