What Parents Say

Ready Academy receives nearly universal praise from parents and former students who highlight caring, knowledgeable teachers, strong academics, and a nurturing environment that prepares children well for public school. The school requires significant parental involvement, which parents view as contributing to its success. One parent reported a lengthy and intrusive enrollment screening process and alleged discriminatory denial of admission based on medical history.

Ready Academy is such a nice school! I attended here from pre-k 3- 5th grade. The faculty is nice along with the administrators and principals, and i really hope that Ready will continue growing!

My two children attended Ready Academy for four years. They had a great experience. The teachers work extremely hard. They are caring, nurturing, and knowledgeable. My children have since transitioned into the public school setting and are doing well academically. I credit that to the foundation they received at Ready Academy. Parental involvement is not only encouraged, it is a requirement here. The programs that they have are top notch. A lot of work is put into the events put on by the school. We are grateful for the experience.

I can't say enough about Ready! My children felt safe, loved and nurtured. Still, there was an emphasis on education and learning that pushed them to achieve. This school requires a great deal of participation by the parents, but the staff gives so much of themselves that you don't mind. Its this cooperation between parents and staff that is probably the reason for their extraordinary success in reaching and teaching their students. The only thing I didn't like was the slogan.
