American Leadership Academy, Ironwood 7-12

My son has been going to this school for two years now. He loves it. He has made the Director's Honor Roll this year and has learned so much. I love the variety of classes they offer and the fact that offer things like money management classes, which every child should have to attend at all schools.

We made a mistake at the beginning of this year, enrolling our son in another charter school. Within a few weeks, we came RUNNING back to ALA! This school is wonderful. The teachers are incredibly dedicated and go above and beyond. Yes, there is a lot of homework -- but every bit of it is applicable to classes, and truly prepares students for the realities of a college class load. There are so many wonderful electives to choose from. My son is taking band, and he has learned so much so fast (thank you, Mr. Brines!). We are so grateful for the presence of ALA Ironwood in our community.
