Congratulations winning the Science Olympiad that is sponsored by one of the Gulen NGOs. It is hard to lose when members of this "group" own or sponsor the event. Http://www.gulencharterschools.weebly.com learn about the other Gulen sponsored events too. Once again, you parents error in thinking you have something unique or different. This is the SAME model of curriculum, PR, Marketing, adverstising, cajoling with politicians and local media. Manipulation of local politicians that is done at the 130 Gulen Charter Schools.

Great job! Congratulations to the Science Academy. I have been part of Science Olympiads for many years now and these results are very impressive. I remember 9 years back when they won their first regional championship, they lost their head coach at an unfortunate traffic accident one week before the competition. At that time, if somebody told me that this small school would actually win it 9 years in row, i would just not believe it. Considering that there are over 6000 science olympiad teams in the nation and this small school represented Georgia 3 times in the national science olympiad is even more impressive. Thank you for the great job FSA. It is great to have you as an option at our community. http://soinc.org/

Mr.Munoz,
People will listen your negative comments for a while... after receiving the best CRCT and ITBS scores and many great results of science and Math Olympiads your negative coments are worthless. This school does not need your negative nor positive comments
