“This is a great school, my children are not going to GWA next year only because we are moving out of town for a job opportunity, but we have enrolled our children into another Imagine School. I have found out the my children only succeed because I am invovled, you cannot depend on the teachers to raise your children. The reason a child has bad behavior is due to poor home training. My oldest child was having a problem with a student and I immediately spoke to her teacher about the situation and the problem was solved. It make take a little more PARENT INVOLVEMENT!”

“With two children at Great Western Academy (grades 3 and 4) I can not say enough about how wonderful this school is! My children and working at a level far above their peers at traditional public schools. They are both working at about 5-6 grade levels in all academic subjects. The teachers and staff are approachable, professional and treat the students with great respect and care. I am a very happy Great Western Academy parent!”

“This school is excellent! My children have thrived here and are doing outstanding academically! The teachers are wonderful and communicate well with the parents. The student teacher ratio is low enough that children who need 'extra' help actually recieve it. I have now enrolled 4 of my children who are also extremely happy!”

“There are 31 students in my child's classroom! The ratio states 1:16. My child needs more help and I feel that she cannot get it from a classroom of that size. We will be disenrolling our child.”

“This school is a Columbus Public School District funded Charter school. My son started in K and is now in 1st grade and has excelled way beyond my expectations. The student to teacher ratio is great. This is a school that has high expectations of their students and I am very glad he is attending GWA. I know I made the right decision to enroll him in this school.”

“This is my daughters first year and she loves it. Great Western Academy has proven to be the best thing for her. The school she attended in 1st grade does not measure up to the academic program provided here. She has learned a lot this year. I have seen a huge improvement in my daughters reading skills. The school and her great teacher have went above and beyond to give my daughter extra help when she has needed it. She will be back next year and I will refer this school to anyone I come into contact with.”

“My biggest regret is sending my children here. Much is lacking. Special needs, art, music and simple things such as a safe place for the children to have recess. The administration is dishonest and has little respect for parents or teachers. The enviroment is about controlling behavior and the children suffer. The only learn to recite and repeat, there is no independent thinking. I am in awe at the level of unprofessionalism shown my Dr. Cowardin and his administrators.”
