As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote I am a grandmother also. I read the review from the grandmother who was not satisfied with the handling of her granddaughter; however I disagree with her findings. I do not understand what the child did but I do understand that if you catch behavior problems early, they can be solved. Children at age 6 will be playful but should not have gum to stick under a desk and should not write on a desk or a wall or anything but paper, so these things have to be shown to a child who apparently does not know or understand that these behaviors are unacceptable.

I have educated two of my three grandchildren at this school. One is going into 5th grade, the other the 2nd grade. The kindergarten teacher, Ms. Suchadowski gave both children an excellent start. The 1st grade teacher for my oldest grandchild, I was not pleased with but I worked with her to get the behavior situation corrected. However in all of the grades up to 5, my oldest has achieved academic success - grades as well as the yearly tests are excellent. The younger grandchild has achieved academic success as well as being an obedient child.

I am a retired Judicial Administrative Assistant and behavior no matter how petty can escalate into a child being problematic when they become older; as well as the disruption of a class of students who may not be disobedient. However normal you may feel behavior problems by age are - they will not stop, even at a different charter school, a regular public school or a private school - and some private schools still have very harsh punishments. So be patient with the school and administrators. Personally, I think they are doing an excellent job. Close Quote

Open Quote I have several concerns regarding Hardy Williams Acadamey aka Renaissance Advantage.

The first few are as follows:

Ms. Perry, Major attitude adjustment (asap)
Mr. Williams, Exaggerates the matter to the full-capacity.
Ms. Bellamy, Lacks principal skills.

Being the grandmother to a 1st grader, I'm somewhat confused as to the nature of being a six year old. At six writing on the desk happens. In addition, to sticking gum under the desk, as well as, cutting up papers. It is not acceptable. And certainly NOT grounds for "destroying school property" and being suspended. I am furious at the way in which my granddaughter is labeled. Also, the way in which staff handled the situation. Not only is it unprofessional, it's unacceptable.

The school lacks structure. The way in which they enforce policy and procedures(s)is totally unfounded.

I asked Ms. Bellamy, why is there NO school counselor on staff to inter-act with a child to avoid misbehaving? What happened to in-house suspension? What happened to stay after-school just a few minutes, not an all nighter, in order that a 1st grader could appreciate their own punishment? What happened to NO recess? What happened to making them clean-up their own mess? Because you have NO staff to supervise child misbehaving, you suspend? Wrong. Suspension punishes me.

I can stand with you to say 1st graders must learn to respect and accept fault and failure.

The above-aforementioned staff has just taken authority to a whole other level.

The many changes, in conjunction, with the inconsistencies at the school are just not satisfying enough for this grandmother.

As you know, the state grants the school(s) so many days a year to achieve a high level of enrichment for the weak areas. And while they use these days very well. I can't say that I see improvement.

Having shared my thoughts, feelings and concerns, I rate this school as poor.

When my granddaughter is old enough, I will be transferring her to someplace that has consideration and what is optimistic with young scholars.

On this day, I called School District central office, Mr. Ben Rarer, 400-6484, oversees chartered school. I was tranferred to Mr. Travis Larrier, under Mr. Rarer, 400-6966. Left message for his return dialogue.

Sincerely,

Pamela A. James Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
