Open Quote Serious bullying issues and complaints were not investigated and dealt with appropriately. Quality of teaching and admin has gone down post pandemic Close Quote

Open Quote As with any school, one's experience at Freedom 7 depends largely upon the teacher your child receives. We had wonderful years and sub-par years. The students learn to achieve academic excellence, but at times this comes at the cost of extensive pressure and anxiety. There are some opportunities for a child who excels, but there are very few support systems for a child who is falling behind. Freedom 7 can offer a wonderful opportunities, but it's important to remember the rankings and test scores only offer a portion of the picture. Close Quote

Open Quote Love the school and it's challenging program! The IB aspect of the curriculum is wonderful. It's not for all children for sure. It's challenging and the teachers do expect excellence in effort, and participation from families is required. Close Quote

Open Quote excellent school. Close Quote

Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Open Quote The parent above, who uses the term "bully" in a fit of mindless hyperbole, is simply bitter because her child received bad grades for not turning in work. Far from being a "bully," that indicates the teacher's respect for the students who did the work. I would expect no less. If a child cannot produce in an advanced program, he or she should be removed to an average one to make room for the motivated pupil.

There will always be a small percentage of people who view the world as a source of excuses to blame their or their child's lack of success on. The truth is that academic excellence requires expectations, and in the face of expectations a lazy (not bored - that's just another excuse) student or two figured out that if he kept his mother mad at a teacher (by lying about the teacher), the mother wasn't mad at him. It must be embarrassing to be played like a cheap piano by a twelve-year-old...
In any event, the awards and accolades collected by this school and its fine educational staff speak for themselves. Close Quote

Open Quote Bully teachers and a bully principle. Teachers are not held to the same standards as the students. IB attributes are punctuated every day to students and students are not lead by example. Great teachers with a vision and creative teaching skills are squashed and intimidated. It use to be a great school but now a small empire has been built and if you do not fit in the box the principle has created, you are asked to leave. Bully teachers, apply here. You will be encouraged to suck the soul out of children. 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.
