Tyler Street Christian Academy

I must say that we were mislead from the jump. If your child has any type of learning disability please do not waste your time with this school thinking you're child is going to get the attention they need. They are not equipped nor trained to handle anyone that has a learning disability. My child has dyslexia, nothing bad but if not handled correctly in the classroom it can be a nightmare for the teacher and student. Before i enrolled into this school i had a meeting and in that meeting i went into full detail of what my son required. Everything went well in the meeting and it was said that they could accommodate his needs. Well I guess they needed the tuition and decided to take my money because that has not been the case, i don't feel my son has learned or excelled in any subject. They don't have tutoring to help your child if they need help in any subject (you have to qualify for a "PROGRAM" according to testing scores to be able to get tutoring), they have KIDS grading KIDS homework which i disagree with, the teacher should be grading homework, not children, they are learning just like any other kid, way to much homework, makes me wonder what they are doing in class. After my sons accommodations were approved, i notice my son was not getting extra time needed on tests so i set up a meeting with the teacher and the principle. Basically, they could not give him extra time on tests because there was no "time" outside of the allotted time to take a test, at best they could take his recess away and he could test during recess. That to me is punishment not accommodating to my child. He was approved to write with erasable pens, but his homework was being erased and he was getting bad grades on homework due to his work being erased and marked wrong. Well the PRINCIPLE said well, after he writes his homework he will need to go over it with a permanent marker to keep that form happening? EXCUSE me wrong answer for me. There was another issue with my son not staying focused while testing, I asked the teacher what she do to redirect him, she replied NOTHING. Mind you this was a TIMED TEST, EXCUSE me you did nothing. WRONG ANSWER, they want your money, they don't care about the well being of your child, they side with the teachers rather wrong or right. DO NOT ENROLL BEWARE

It's awesome

Full disclosure: I am an alumnus. TSCA prepared me well for success in a science program at UTDallas and later a graduate degree at SMU. One of the few DFW private schools that lives diversity rather than just talking about it.

I think is cool having an academy school near
