Always friendly and very nice! Never had any problems. Will keep going to this post office.

Love my mail lady and the amazing people at our local post office in Millbury! They’re always so nice!

fine school they have there

The folks at this PO have always been friendly, helpful and speedy! I so appreciate the feeling of a small town post office.

I love this school so much. With the flexible schedules and ES's it's truly unique and that makes it wonderful. For those of you who don't know, an ES is an education specialist. Every student is assigned one (that they think fits best) and you meet with your ES once a week to keep on track, get help, or just vent if you need it. I think this is great, as with larger schools that have one counselor for the entire student body, students are lost in the crowd. Most teachers I've found to be amazing; excited about their subject and eager to share. In the last few years we have acquired 3 new teachers as some old favorites left. These new teachers are pretty terrible, but it's still a small ration in relation to the good ones. I feel like because it is a k12 school the younger students are less afraid to enter higher grades, and the higher grades are a little more aware of what they say or do. This school is also very lacking in... I guess just "trouble". I've never heard f anyone feeling bullied, the hallways are safe, lockers are all unlocked and NO items have been stolen, and there's even a tea and coffee station that's just run on the honor system of putting your money in the jar, and it works. There's a drama club, a Christian Students United club, and a Gay Straight Alliance club. There's not a whole lot of diversity, but I don't think the school can be blamed for that. The mixture of on site classes and online classes homeschool courses makes for a unique and individualized learning experience, which is beneficial to a lot of students. I also find there's not a lot of age discrimination at ACA. In other schools i hear of people freaking out that someone's friends with a freshman, dating a senior, in a class below or above their level... at ACA you're placed in the class you want to/can take. I took geometry with an 8th grader! I don't know what age everyone is half the time, and I think that's a good thing, to have that mixture. All in all I recommend it 100%

This school has been a perfect fit for our family. We love the mixed-age family atmosphere and I have been pleasantly surprised by all the positive interactions my 10-year-old regularly has with high school students. I believe the administration is as flexible as a state-funded school could possibly be with curriculum and structure of the program. My freshman son enjoys the group learning environment in the upper level classes (SO glad he is not forced to slog through required courses but can enter whatever level he is ready for), and my younger daughter loves the music, dance, fencing, pottery and science classes she is taking. We do a mix of independent home schooling and on-site classes and have found them to be very accommodating and fair in granting credit for work done at home. I only wish there were a similar program closer to where we live. What I love best about ACA: they really care about the kids, and they are passionate about learning.
