Pleasant Hill Academy

Address: 1820 Armstrong Blvd, Kissimmee, FL 34741, USA

“Obviously the bad reviews probably come from students who were outed of the school for poor behavior, or an adult who does not place truth as a priority. I am both a parent and a teacher at the school, and I can attest to the fact that the school does not serve junk food for lunch. Students get well balanced meals. If this were not so, the school would not have passed all inspections with flying colors. Students are also welcomed to bring their own lunches. Teachers are all certified and love working there. I have not yet heard one complain in seven years. When they leave, it is because of personal reasons and usually in good terms. If they are invited to leave, it is because poor performance on a teacher's behalf is not tolerated. Students deserve the best. As with many other private schools in the area, the premises are a bit limited in terms of a basketball court. Regardless of this, PHA does have competitive sports teams, and even a cheerleading squad. Teams use other premises for practice and compete against other schools. All of this information can be corroborated through their Facebook page as well as the website. They also have an excellent Naval Sea Cadet program. There you will see photos and plenty of reliable information on the school. Also, PHA is perfectly safe. Teachers are properly trained in CPR and First Aid. None are allowed to work if not properly certified in both of these. The premises are closed to vehicles during Physical Education. Cars are not allowed to enter or leave that particular area, (there is a gate that remains closed during PE) and visitors are forced to park elsewhere. Students rate higher than any other private school in the area on their SATs, and this could be corroborated as well. With so many private schools opening and closing within three years due to poor management, PHA has demonstrated that it exceeds expectations. It has been in business for approximately ten years now, and it opened a second campus in Kissimmee three years ago. I understand that while there is room for improvement, there is no need to lie on a public forum. The love of God is shown through and through, and we see this in the positive changes that many students go through after having been submitted to a rough public school environment prior to entering PHA. Many do not adjust well to good and positive discipline and reinforcement, because they want to continue behaving like they did where they came from. Unfortunately for them, PHA is not willing to compromise a high standard of education, ethics and discipline for a few individuals who are not willing to abide by the rules. I highly recommend Pleasant Hill Academy, and suggest anyone interested in further information to visit, not only the website, but also the premises in person. Blessings. Mrs. R. ”
