What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, August 9, 2011

My child attended this school for one year. We gave the charter school movement a chance. In that year the school was high on recruiting with year round orientations giving a sales pitch of the school's innovative programs. What they don't reveal is the school's low academic performance of 2 since its establishment. In that year, the administration's application of its own handbook rules and regulations to educationally aid the student was poor. I would not waste my time with this school and direct parents to an impressive Middle College High School with a rating of 10 since its establishment in Stockton Ca. They deserve the vote of funds alloted to your child in education taxes. I hope my rating helps other parents. Close Quote
