Ina A Colen Academy

"Great Academy! Very thankful!"

"I have been consistently pleased with everyone, from the administration to the teachers, and the handling of situations. This school truly stands out in its commitment to education and character development. The teachers at Ina A. Colen Middle School are dedicated and passionate about their work. Their unwavering support and enthusiasm for teaching have undoubtedly had a positive impact on my child's academic growth. Their commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive learning environment is truly commendable. My child has access to classroom tools I WISH I had access to as a kid; 3D printers, brand new musical instruments… everything is just fresh and sparkling. The teachers, and administration are just as shining. Principal Avery deserves special recognition for her outstanding leadership. She exemplifies professionalism and genuine care for the students. Her approachability and open communication with parents and students alike create a sense of unity within the school community. Under Principal Avery's guidance, Ina A. Colen Middle School has thrived as a place where students not only excel academically but also develop into well-rounded individuals. The school nurse is caring and sensitive, and Mrs. Morningstar (Dean/Guidance Counselor) is BEYOND accommodating. Sadly, many are quick to post a review after an bad experience and slow to right a gleaming one when things flow seamlessly. Ina A. Colen Middle School, with its 4H program, dedicated teachers, and Principal Avery's leadership, is a beacon of excellence in education. I couldn't be happier with the quality of education and support my child receives at this exceptional institution."

"Kids fight are taken like normal things even when your kids arrive home hurted. When you bring this to principal attention she just get mad and tell you to go to other schools. Music teacher only threatens kids and they are traumatized. Stay away from Ina A Colen Academy, until the principal and social worker get changed, stay away from there! I have requested to Christine Cortes a formal escalation to corporate offices and a formal response to some situations that are concerning and the principal just told me that she (Annie Avery) will involve the attorneys. The blessing in the school is Mrs. Hayes… she is the perfect teacher, there are no words to describe Mrs Hayes, she is an oasis in the middle of the desert."

"Very rude. Do your research before giving them an opportunity to teach your children. Didn’t like the fact that I was from city."

"Amazing elementary and middle school and a state of the art facility for learning."
