Connections Academy Reviews

Y'all single out the ** students. It is horrible to know that the principal withdraw my son without my permission. No help from the teacher. She gave my son bad grades for no reason. They never contacted me.

They scammed me on my diploma years ago. I transferred there from public school in 12th grade then whenever it was time to receive my diploma they said there was a problem with my transcript or that they never received it. Tried contacting them for weeks. Nobody responded or if they did they gave me the run around. So my entire 12th grade year didn’t count because I wasn’t enrolled properly

My daughter has dyslexia, they asked for documents that don't exist. I spoke with multiple representatives that didn't have a clue about educational services for students with an IEP. I felt they are discriminating against students with disabilities. My child is fully capable of doing the work, she just has to work harder. They intentionally are asking for documents that don't exist to prevent her from registering.

A SCAM. Do not send your children here. This place lies to us about enrollment for over a month. Kept giving different excuses as to why they kept archiving her enrollment. And did not care at all. They told me there was no one else to talk to about it. Horrible

Connections Academy Lighthouse Connections Academy - Michigan. I am deeply disappointed and highly disturbed by the blatant disregard for the rights of students with disabilities at this institution. What should be a safe and inclusive environment has instead become a place where discrimination is normalized, and exclusion is routine. Despite clear protections under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates equal access to school programs and activities for students with disabilities, this school has repeatedly violated those rights. A simple reasonable accommodation request -intended to ensure equal opportunity- was not only denied but openly dismissed. As a result, all students with disabilities were openly outcasted and excluded from field trips, school events and activities, while staff are always observed away participating on their own and away from all students and parents.

This was the worst experience I have ever had. Any if the paperwork I uploaded was acceptable. I uploaded 3 different types of “proof of residency” and none of it was good enough for them. I uploaded the attendance form which had his attendance from freshman to junior year and that wasn’t good enough. I gave up and enrolled my son somewhere else. I highly recommend not wasting your time with this “school.”

I hate Florida Connections Academy. My daughter has only been in enrolled for two weeks and we still can't navigate the system. They just send email after email and teachers are not available to support and don't care enough to answer the questions properly when they are "available." There is no real learning taking place. They expect my daughter to do testing without the Special Education Department providing her with any support even though my daughter has a documented disability. I want to give the school zero stars. Instead of enjoying our weekend, my family is angry, frustrated, and miserable.

Applying to GCA and the runaround is unbelievably unprofessional and incompetent. They will mislead you, lie to you, and every person will tell you a different story. Be careful that they will tell you at the very last minute that your child did not get in, as they have met their quota, even though they had been texting, emailing, and calling you for months to finish the application. Doesn't matter that they have had your completed application for 3 weeks, as they will still deny you in the end. You will be left scrambling to find an alternate school, so do not wait until it is close to the start of school to apply elsewhere.

The workload on students is not reasonable. Overall design is very unrealistic. A second grader would get about 50+ assignments per week and they expect students to digest it quickly. I hope that they can improve it soon.

We have not started school but the registration has been a headache. Because I started my application in my name, proof of residence had to have my name. Only thing with my name was Internet bill and that was rejected. Then I submitted power bill and it was rejected because under husband's name. Then it was our waste bill with BOTH of our names and that was rejected. It's like the people running this academy have no common sense in putting the information together and seeing clearly that the documents show proof of residence. What a nuisance. If our last attempt doesn't go through, I'm looking for another online school. It's been a big waste of time so far!
