Wednesday, February 11, 2015

Open Quote They are not very helpful when answering questions about the program. I don't feel secure knowing that my child would benefit from this school. they don't provide mailing pamphlets to new parents and don't give enough information of the teachers credentials. Then one begins to wonder why the test scores are so low, my daughter is too smart to be placed in a classroom where no one speaks English. What a shame for a charter school. The registration lady could not give me information regarding charter school and public school. She put me on hold and never came back. Close Quote
