Durham Charter School

This is the worst school ever. The teachers do too much. They always want the parents to go around the carpool so that they can open the door for the kids, like my child don't help to open the damp door. And besides some of us have work that we are going to and we don't have time to wait around the carpool. The principal needs to step up and act like a man before we vote to fire him out. And the teachers need to learn some manner and treat the parents with respect. Like I've never had a teacher disrespect me like that ever. I'm planning on suing this school unless you change your stupid rules.

My review is basically if your family is at a very low income status. This school will be the perfect school to be part of. I can say this because I am one of the current students of the 2019-2020 PRIDE school year. Am in 6th grade, but I can mostly say that after the last principal went out. The new principal, Mr. Quigley, has made HSA great again. Even the Healthy Star Academy School Pledge it's just an example of how the school has changed. Pledge: As a Healthy Start Scholar, I pledge to myself, my family, my Healthy Start peers, and my community, to be the best that I can be. I will embody the attributes of a PRIDE scholar. I will respect myself and all people as I honor and celebrate our differences. I will be accountable for all my actions. I will treat others with empathy and kindness. I will work to persevere when times are difficult, and I will be ambitious, and take advantage of new opportunities. I pledge to be my best self always. Together our community will change the world.

Best school ever teaches you a lot of things and helps with work and reward you when you do good like filde trips end-of-year trips and they have the best teachers ever that help you with problems and class work and homework and if you need time to get back on tract or talk to them about problems that you have.

We like and recommend this school. We have really appreciated the dedicated teachers. The Administration and faculty encourage all students, including those who have very little support at home. There are some poorly behaved students and parents; however, we've been impressed with the school's response to them, and the school is very safe. We like the small family atmosphere, too.

This is hands-down the worst school I have ever seen. The students are not held accountable for actions like fighting, cheating, or skipping, and they learn they can get away with it. There are cameras in the classrooms, more for the principal to watch the teachers than the students (if you don't trust your teachers why did you hire them?). There is a complete lack of communication between the principal and staff. Bottom line- I would only send my kids there if I were training them to be criminals, not if I wanted them to get a decent education.
