[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at STA and i would not recommend it for this type of kid. My son joined in 9th and is super smart and but not laser focused on school and he's struggling. There is no safety net unless the kid reaches out and this type of kid doesn't reach out. We've reached out a few times and have sort of been met with "have your son reach out" responses. Sure, there are study halls but no-one cared or noticed that he spent weeks on end just playing on his phone in study hall. We finally got him out of study hall and into an elective for the spring because at least now he's doing something productive. For a super motivated/driven kid, it's a great place. For a smart but not motivated kid it's kind of a slog and not the best fit. I really like many things about the school (love it actually) but I keep hoping my kid will catch the drive to push himself. So far, no dice. It's just a struggle of assignment after assignment (and there are a lot of them). [/quote]
