School Reviews

This school is an absolute joke. Everyone in admin is too worried about who is in charge and making sure that everyone knows their place that nothing is ever taken care of properly. Admin with children in the school allow their children to do whatever they want with no consequences. Staff is not supported at all and instead are terrorized by the admin team. They allow the guidance counselor to have more say so than I have ever encountered in another district. It seems like every week my child is coming home and telling me another teacher has left. I think it is best that the charter not be renewed and these kids get the education they deserve. Take your kids elsewhere and get them out of that toxic environment.

Take your children elsewhere if you Carrie about a quality education. The first five years the school was run correctly until the amazing teachers and administrators left. They hired a bogus previously fired administrator who cleaned house and got rid of the best of the best. The ones running the school currently are rude, clueless and pretend to be professional. They are dishonest and are not there for the right reasons. Two formers retired administrators were there part times for a few years to keep the school going while they tried to get another FT CEO and principal hired. They were excellent, and we all hated to see them go. Our kids loved them and they cared about the students and their learning. Too many scandals have happened since the original CEO was hired in 2011, and a lot of dirt and illegal doings been swept under the rug. The families and students are wonderful. The community is super. They all deserve better. They have a nice after-school program and that's about it. This school is no longer the great school it once was. The local districts offer so much more. Take your children elsewhere for a quality education with office staff who are legit.

So many kids were crammed into one class and the teachers weren't even qualified to be teachers. All the office was terrible as well. They let so many kids get away with things they shouldn't have. overall horrible.

The school office personnel were a joke. Their children go to school there and have special privileges that no other kids have and they have been known to be the reason many staff and students have left. The education has become lackluster since 2019 and, at one time, they had a really great staff. The school board doesn't back up the staff and they hire people in there that are clueless. My child was so much better off once we got him out of there. They ended up getting rid of the best staff any school could want. We are to be understood that the secretary doesn't know how to pay the staff on time and the children are way behind academically. The community knows what kind of people are running to school and they've lost a lot of students over the past three years? Don't send your kids there if you want them to have a good education.. Don't send your kids there if you want them to have a good education.

The academic programs are really good, the teachers are all really nice (for the most part) and the facilities could be better but it is what it is. They do however lack an art class.
