Open Quote My daughter is a graduate of TMLA. What started as a exceptional experience turned into a nightmare her last year and a half of high school. TMLA has an enormous bullying problem which the administration and deans refuse to acknowledge. When I called the dean to discuss the problem I was told that the girls who her bulling my daughter truly were very nice girls, and that my daughter should seek out new friends. Much to my shock and dismay the dean made the same statement to my daughter, who was a victim of bullying. I was asked what I thought the school should do to assist in this matter. When I told the dean that I thought the Academy should start one of the many anti-bulling programs available, the dean literally laughed, and said "Those programs never work!!" That is when I realized that TMLA has a bullying problem because it has adult bullies running the school. Close Quote

Open Quote Truly, I implore you, if you have a daughter with a even a smidgen of doubt about this school do not send them, they will be miserable. They have to want to be in a place where artistic creativity and individuality are smothered until they become homework machines, mindlessly rattling off facts with no real knowledge. Too much work, uncaring teachers, and a principal who has kicked out students for having ideas and being different. Please, spare your child the torture.
-From,
A mother of a sophomore now dealing with serious issues due to the faculty, administration, and people, of this horrendous school. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
