This review only tells a piece of the story. This school is specifically set up for Dyslexic children. Test scores for these children are always low. My daughter was a student at Grasp for 4 years. She is now in Creekside high school and doing very well. I give full credit to Grasp Academy for that. Creekside is a nationally ranked school. She is even in an honors English class. If you have a Dyslexic child I would say consider it. My daughter still does not do well on standardized tests, but academically she does very well.
