As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

I have some serious issues with how ASA treats students with IEPs or 504 plans who need high support. I advise you to look for another school if you have a child who is Autistic or any other diagnosis that qualifies for an IEP. ASA does not respect the diagnosis or the rights of these students. They try to change their diagnosis to ADHD and force them to cope in the general education setting without proper support. They call this "full integration" but it is really neglect and discrimination.

The Think Tank program is a disaster. It has too many strangers and substitutes who are not qualified or trained to work with these students. The paraprofessionals are eager to learn and help, but they are not given enough hours or resources. The administration is unresponsive and unprofessional. They ignore your emails and phone calls, and sometimes they delegate someone else to call you back.

The only positive thing I can say about ASA is that the teachers and most of the staff are amazing at what they do. They are passionate and caring, and they try their best to provide a quality education for all students.

However, the school is also overcrowded, especially in the middle school. They need a separate campus for the older grades, and privacy away from the younger students.

In conclusion, I do not recommend ASA for students with IEPs or 504 plans who need high support and services. They do not have a proper curriculum that is backed up by research and evidence based or instruction for these students, especially in math. They rely on online materials from TeachersPayTeachers.com instead of research-based and evidence-based curriculum. This is unacceptable and unfair for these students who deserve better.

This school betrayed and failed our son who was enrolled here the first year it opened. He claimed he was mistreated by a staff member who might have physically harmed him, but the administration seemed to have covered it up and we feel allowed the employees to lie. We were not offered any changes or accommodations for his IEP or 504 plan, which made us lose faith in ASA and withdraw our son from the school.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
