Success Stories
Hear our parents tell about all the ways their students are succeeding!
"HSA Middle is the best choice for a charter school in Columbus. The teachers and staff truly care about the students and are deeply in both their academic success and personal growth. They go above and beyond to support, encourage, and challenge each child to do their best. School administration is always willing to listen to parents’ feedback and constantly develop programs to enrich kids’ education. The environment has made a huge difference for my girls. I am grateful for such a dedicated school community.
