I would like to share some concerns regarding the overall value and consistency of the services provided. First, while food is catered monthly, there does not appear to be any form of credit or adjustment for the numerous holidays, scheduled breaks, snow days, or instances when a child is absent for any reason. This makes it difficult to feel that the cost accurately reflects the actual services received. Additionally, the handling of snow days feels inconsistent. There are occasions when nearly all surrounding schools are closed due to severe weather, yet the school remains open in extremely low temperatures, while other days with similar conditions result in closures. This inconsistency is frustrating and creates unnecessary challenges for families. During harsh weather conditions, it would also be reasonable to offer a short grace period for drop-offs—even five minutes. This would show understanding and flexibility, especially when many schools are closed and parents are navigating unsafe driving conditions. Habitual lateness is one thing, but grace during extreme circumstances would be appreciated. I would also like to note concerns regarding staff interactions. One staff member with curly gray hair consistently comes across as unkind and unwelcoming, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere. The presence of negative energy should not be overlooked in an environment meant to support children and families. Academically, my children are doing well, and I appreciate that aspect of the program. However, overall, I do not feel that I am fully receiving the value of what I am paying for, particularly when considering the lack of flexibility, consistency, and customer consideration.

For the past four years, my two children have been attending this school. During that time, I’ve only had one issue—and even that was minor. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the education and care they’ve received. Academically, my children have consistently been one to two grade levels ahead of their peers who attend Charter or DPS schools, which speaks volumes about the school’s curriculum and the dedication of the staff. I truly appreciate all the hard work the teachers and staff have put into supporting my children’s growth alongside me. The only suggestion I would make is that the school consider expanding its grade offerings to include up to 8th grade. This would allow families like mine to continue with the same high-quality education we’ve come to value so much.

My daughter has been in attendance here for about 6 months. She’s learned so much in the short time, she’s 3 and writes her name free hand she knows her letters and numbers and I can’t believe how much she’s learned in the small time she’s been here. I tell everyone about this place because they are so hands on and the extra activities are a bonus. It’s an advance program so I was worried my child wouldn’t catch on but she’s doing great she’s learning she’s retaining the information and the staff is very hands on they go above and beyond with these kids and when they have special events they show out!! I’m truly impressed and will keep my child here

All four of my children have attended ASA. My last two are still there. I love the summer programming and the hours during the school year are great for working parents. Most importantly my children are learning and having fun while they grow academically. I have recommended ASA to many people and no one has been disappointed. My only complaint is the outside of the building needs work. I tell everyone I refer don't look at building go in you won't be sorry, and more than 5 families later everyone has thanked me for the referral.

My name is Ms.Kimberly Jackson and I have had the pleasure of being apart of this business with 4 of my kids.I have been with ASA Prep for over 10 years and hands down they are one of the best schools out.The staff is caring and polite.Mrs.Byrd is very professional and understanding. If you are looking for a business that cares about your child and actually teaches them the fundamentals needed for another level this is the place.
