Reviews of Voyager Academy
"John on his mom's account. School is good. Easy to learn here. Since it's small its easy to make friends or enemies. If you are coming here be prepared for lots of projects and homework. Mr Credle was pretty buff and was hard to guard without getting smacked during Ultimate Frisbee."
"This school is awesome! Voyager has lots of prominent teachers and their middle school is SUPER academically strong. The teachers are super nice and do a great job with teaching. Plus, there is practically zero bullying. I give this school a 10/10 rating because the teaching is superb and the atmosphere to work in is amazing!"
"I freaking love this love this school as a non active feminist. Some people said there was sexual harassment/assault. And this school is amazing although they did not teach cursive. I still think this a great school for education. Its perfect for all kids. Thank you for your time."
"If you actually value education and are willing to see that no school is perfect then Voyager is a very good school. I am currently in the 10th grade are the high school, and while people say that it has gone down hill in past years, they are just unwilling to accept change. The "cliques" that everyone speaks of, guess what, EVERY school that has and will ever exist has cliques. This school has provided a great base for me, since I accept that other schools are just like this. Moving on to class size, our school has around 400 students total. This small number of students allows students to get lots of time with Teachers. While only having around 100 students per grade may seem bad, since if you don't like anybody then you are alone. However, the small size of my grade has allowed me to become friends with people that I never would have talked to at a average size high school. Yes, the recent shift of teacher is a problem, one that is majority caused by students being non respectful to teachers. In every class that I have, you can look around and you will see around six students on their phone, no listening to the teacher and then after class they complain that the teachers never teach them anything. During lunch there are six class rooms open, students have the option of going outside to eat at the picnic tables, which the school has around eight of. Yes, some students, choose by themselves to eat in the hallways, you are not forced to, don't like sitting down in the hall? Stand up. Just finished AP exams (AP Human Geo), while I agree it sucks to have to wait to take AP exams months after you take class. This said, the school does not choose when to give AP exams, College Board does, and this applies to the entire nation, not just this school. If you think that other schools will be a better fit for you, then please stop complaining about the school and switch to another school. There is a wait list for this school, which some call "Terrible" that is around 2000 people long. With regards to the teachers atrium, almost all of the items in there were donated or bought by the amazing teachers at voyager."
"I LOVE education, but hate school - here's why: I transferred to Voyager in 7th Grade, and my first year was alright. The staff and faculty were fantastic that year! The students, however, sucked. They were mean, clique-y, and disrespectful (still are 4 years later). The majority of my class (class of 2019) have been at Voyager together since the 4th grade, so coming in as a new student later really sucked. Since 2013, Voyager has RAPIDLY gone down hill. Carl Forsyth left and we gained a new managing director. She has multiple kids herself, who attended Voyager for the first two years of her stay, and then left because they didn't like it. She now manages the school from Florida. FLORIDA! Our managing director doesn't even live in the state, which kind of explains the condition of the school. Now on to the High School: 2015-16 year was alright... some of the staff was terrible, but it was a fairly balanced ratio of good-to-bad. However, the conditions for students are dreadful... All rooms are closed off to students during lunch, leaving us to sit on the floor in the hallways. The school also has no money. All funds are funneled into the athletics program. The walls are paper thin, classroom supplies are lacking (many teachers purchase their own supplies), there are not enough textbooks for the student, and we do not have access to a printer. They do, however, have a lovely atrium for the teachers - set with all the unnecessary things you could imagine. There is a multi-thousand dollar massage chair, desks, a flat screen, coffee machines, couches, catered lunches, etc. (while students eat on the floor & dip into family funds for basic schools supplies). How odd that it would be a good size for a cafeteria... At the end of the 2015-16 school year, Cory Draughan announced his retirement as HS principal. This was when another wave of disaster struck. MANY teachers left when Mr. Draughan announced his departure. A new principal, VP, and counselor were hired and the school went to trash. The P, VP, and counselor seem like qualified, wonderful people, but they are closed to any new ideas (better ideas) and are very rigid in their ways (which are clearly not working). They switched to block-schedule for the 2016-17 school year, and don't seem to be willing to budge on that decision (despite teachers saying how bad it is for the classes and students, and threatening to leave if the system isn't fixed). For example, I took an AP class in the fall of 2016. That class ended in December, and yet I have the AP Final Exam next week... but I haven't been in that class for a whole semester! It would work if the AP exams could be moved to be at the end of the semester the class was taken. I am watching my peers panic as AP Finals approach and they have to learn material that couldn't be covered in the short amount of time the semester allowed and retrieve all the material from 6 months ago! I have never been so stressed, and don't believe my peers have been either. When I voiced my concern for the AP classes and their problems, and suggested solutions to the problem that still abided by their wish to keep block schedule, I was rudely shut-down and sent away. They wouldn't even listen to my ideas (because I'm a kid). (Note: I am the top of my graduating class, straight As. I'm dependable and well-liked, but was sent off without being allowed to talk because I'm 16... ?). Administration just doesn't seem to know what they're doing, or are completely blind to what is happening to the students, or is maybe just corrupt. After 1st semester, A LOT of teachers quit. A concerning-ly large amount. If that doesn't say something, I don't know what does. If you get in, do yourself a favor and go ANYWHERE else. Seriously, this may be the worst high school ever, simply because I feel like I'm being robbed of my high school experience & a quality education. It is very common for students at Voyager to say how terrible it is, and they're not wrong! I'm sure they are trying their best, but it seems that too many problems are being ignored!"
