What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, May 14, 2025

This school has failed my child on multiple levels. She was severely bullied, and despite bringing it to the administration's attention, nothing was done to protect her. She also showed little to none academic improvement throughout the year. I was forced to withdraw her with only a month left of school and begin homeschooling to ensure her safety and well-being. The "Charter School" name is misleading - the leadership and environment are far below expectations. The building was formerly a storage facility. The classrooms are cramped, and the lunchroom is extremely small. I would not recommend this school under any circumstance, and would strongly urge parents to consider other options. Close Quote
