This school is, without a doubt, the worst place that you could ever enroll your child into. They don't care about the education, opportunities, health, and well-being of your child. They only value your child for the amount of money they bring the school from the state. I suffered in that school for years and, when I finally left and went to a normal public school, I struggled to catch up to my classmates because of how far behind and lackluster the education was in ULA. Teachers are also allowed to bully, dehumanize, and antagonize their students with absolutely no repercussions whatsoever. I still remember once when I was standing with a bunch of other students after school as we were waiting to leave the classroom and go to the waiting area to wait for our parents to pick us up when one teacher said to me out of nowhere, You have lunch detention tomorrow, Dana. I asked why as I genuinely did nothing wrong and it was completely out of nowhere. And she said, Just because. Teachers are allowed to give detention to their students just because. That's just one example of the laughably ridiculous bull Removed that happens in this school on the daily.
