"Hello, my names Bella. I am a student here at skills academy apart of the Advanced computer class. Skills academy has improved significantly since we moved by garden of the gods. The school is huge and and has enough space for all kinds of different classes. I earned my first certification here in Microsoft Excel, and I have an awesome teacher who listens to me and is very helpful. If it weren’t for skills academy, I would never have had the friends and the knowledge I have today. I don’t care what mean people have to say about this school, it has helped me more then any other school and I truly mean that. I haven’t had many friends from elementary school to high school. I can say I made my first best friend here, which meant the world to me. I’m sorry to everyone who has had a bad experience, but would you maybe consider the hard work that people do here? Everyone tries they’re best, and unfortunately no matter what people will always have something to criticize about. It’s part of life. I don’t know each and every one of your situations, but I wanted to at least make sure people could hear me too. I am not here to criticize anyones opinions here, but once again, I want to be heard just like you. If you want the rainbow , you will have to put up with the rain. Thank you for reading this far! It means a lot to me and I hope things can get better."

"This place is a mess! It has a lot of potential, but it's actually dangerous to attend in it's current condition. Our daughter was misplaced and couldn't be found for over 30 minutes. Skills Academy staff did not report this to me, I was told by the bus driver. I emailed them and asked for assurances that this would not happen again and they did not even have the courtesy to write me back. We have pulled our daughter from the program and would encourage anyone considering Skills Academy to look past their surface sales pitch."

"i work here and the entire staff is amazing and all of the clients are easy to work with and great to be around 10/10 would recommend to send any special needs adults"

"I was looking for a place for my son whene the last one he had lost there contract. We found them through D.D.R.C. and whene we met with the ceo it sounded grate and we where in a time crunch since he lost the other place. We where told he would be moving there asap so I made sure everyone who needed tobe in contact was so that things would go smoothly. But needless to say it was not they were almost impossible to get in contact with and even harder to get information on what was going on. Then they keeped pushing the move date back then finally telling us they had no room for him and some covid claims. It was very disappointing and lacked professionalism. I contacted them so much I felt like all I was doing was annoying them."
