"Mixed feelings about our experience"

We had a good experience at Phoenix Academy, but there were some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching. Our daughter thrived in some subjects, but struggled in others. The facilities are great, and the values of knowledge, aspiration, and respect are genuinely embedded in the school culture.
