Open Quote If There were negative ratings to give, this "school" would definitely get them. Even with an all-new staff for the 2016-2017 school year, the new staff continues to drop like flies just like the old did last year. Most parents I know have a hard time understanding why the Leaders and Staff keep leaving in the middle of the school year, and it is never explained...most of the time not even communicated to the parents. Im sure the school is probably not haunted because of being on an Indian burial ground, Id say the problem lies in the FOUNDATION. This school is ghetto and there are entirely too many mistakes they make as a school to list on this form. The biggest mistake being that as soon as soon as I pull my kids out of this school, they are going to be considered behind because they either watch movies or have recess all day every day, no matter their grade level. With homeless people living on the bike path behind the school and criminal and police activity near it consistently, Id say they need to keep a better eye on the students and KEEP THEM ON THE SCHOOL PROPERTY (which they don't). Also, don't try contacting the Founder of Geo Foundations, he is highly unprofessional and will reply to every concern with a "Nu-uh!" kind of attitude. This school is despicable. Close Quote

Open Quote The new administration is awful. SPED and ELL services were combined and therefore underserving kids which is a civil rights violation. Money is allotted to this school to serve these populations of students and they aren't. The GEO foundation is being sued by the former AP for a wrongful termination. Why send your kids there? Terrible environment. Close Quote

Open Quote Most teachers were there for a paycheck. My child didn't learn much more than if I handed her a book to read. I have never known of so many movies that were "educational" and had become part of the curriculum. Parents will be surprised how little their child is taught compared to schools in town. I thought we put our child here for a better education than the local district schools but the education the last couple of years were substandard. Things were promised and not delivered. Almost no positive minority mentors. My 3rd grader had his chair taken away and forced to stand all day because he "couldn't sit still." Really? A 9 year old sit still? He would complain his legs hurt after school. My 7th grader heard racial slurs used by staff. It was just not a good environment and now, my children are at better schools. More than a staff change needs to be done, but it's a start. However my children don't have time for change, they need a great education now. Close Quote

Open Quote My son attended Kindergarten and I ended up taking him out after half a year. The teacher my son had at first was very nice and kept in good communication with the parents. After only a month or two PPP decided to combine both K-Classes, so the ratio now was 30:1. My son never brought anything home that they worked on at school once he was with the new teacher and I also never heard anything from the her. I received an automated phone call about the christmas concert TWO days before. The school was always dirty and trash laying around everywhere, even at events like Family night and Christmas concert when the school knew parents would be there.
After I switched my son to another school, the teachers there were shocked on how little he knew and how far he was behind at that point. I don't think anyone even kept track of the lunch money I paid. Receptionist would always just stick it in an envelope without asking me the students name. One day I picked up my son right after school instead from afterschool care. His teacher was yelling at a little boy on top of her lungs to get in the bus while I stood behind her before she saw me. Shortly after i got a letter from the school saying they have been "red flagged" and they are working on getting the test scores up to keep the doors open. As you can see, this is a very disorganized school which needs lots of improvements. 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.
