Kindergarten-8th Grade Schools Aren't Always a Good Idea I have learned after 4 years that I don't much care for schools that include kids kindergarten-8th grades. They tend to lump them all together very often, but speak to everyone as if everyone is in 1st grade. I think as kids grow into teenagers, they need to feel 'individualized' more and have opportunities to be themselves and not feel like 'little kids', which I feel a K-8 school makes them feel like. I don't believe NHA teachers are any better than those of public schools, however I do believe that experiences for the kids are better because parents tend to be more involved/concerned, having enrolled their child(ren) there instead of public schools, where trouble tends to happen more often due to troubled home lives.

Please never take your kids here Please never take your kids here it is literal torture one break a day 15minute lunch not enough time to eat I have to waste so much food because this school can't give us a well deserved 30 minute lunch staff and students are way way way overworked.. 15minute recess to I f****g hate this school I cry every night because how much of a stressful environment this place is please help and if you go to triumph academy get the lowest grades you possibly can so this school can shut down honestly if you go to any NHa school get low grades so hopefully this absolutely disgusting company can finnaly get shut down so us kids may live in peace..

East Arbor Academy in Ypsilanti MI (please take into account that I am a high school student and not a parent, so I have a larger understanding of the inner workings of this school) Although I was not fully aware of other NHA schools being terrible, I can speak as a student that this has been one of the worst places to visit in my life, which has only gone downhill from then, the principal has an extremely tight grip on the staff, accomplished simply by making the ones she doesn't like simply hate third job, and keep the ones who agree, it has gotten so and that you could swear almost every position is cursed with the exception of a few. What really drove me to drive this review was some pure idiocy that took place in my last year, my brother's teacher (4th) had to take about 7 more students under her belt, and the principal was refusing to hire a new teacher, it sounded like a madhouse, which it was. While I wanted to take action, I knew I wouldn't get anywhere because as many have pointed out, the principals don't want to communicate with anyone. To finish this up, about 3 months after school got out, I was informed of a rumor that someone in the staff (ironically my favorite teacher) confronted the principal about her choice to have 36 students in a class, she yelled at him to get out with her only defense being that at her old school, she had 36 kids and could handle them all. Her old school district was Detroit, the district with the lowest test grades in the state. And that about sums up the entirety of NHA, destined to be the next Detroit schools.

Average Education Don't feel safe driving to and from school... The school needs to have more safety signs, signal anything that help promote safety!!! SAFETY should be the schools number one goal.

Challenge advanced students? Good school but not confident they will customize a learning plan for students who are advanced in some subjects.
