Open Quote Leadership is horrible, this school and lighthouse charter school organization are setting our kids up for failure. This school is missing a core discipline structure. The leadership and school has a terrible communication. We have to withdraw our kids from the school, when we took them for tutoring at Khan tutorial and our kids performed horrible. The instructor informed up that our performed below regular DOE students. We spoke to the principal and the board members all they care about $$$. Our kids teachers were trying all the best but there is no support from the leadership. So half of the teachers resigned, some even left during school. That's how bad this school is. Please DON'T enroll your child in this horrible school. Close Quote

Open Quote The school is located in heavy drug addicted area the staff are very nice unless you question they're judgement.They don't correct spelling or have a grammar class.Theres no computer classes.They don't have text books for every subject.They serve satellite breakfast that means no cold or hot cereal only fruit, cheese stick, muffin and milk. The stairwell smells like mold but they're moving this June There is no safety officer or guidance counselor My daughter urinated on her self on several occasion no bathroom after 12:05 the secretary's daughter attends the school and she is a bully and if you say anything they will put your kids in the street with a staff member and they're not allowed back on to use the bathroom reading assessment are bad they will say your child can't read no matter how many times they pass gifted and talented exams all work is done by xerox machine the gym has filthy mats that stain your clothes one of the teachers called my daughter crazy girl and it made her sad even if you do homework they mark that you didn't you can't prove it they keep all homework you keep nothing through out the year for review they staff are not friendly they treat parents like kids Metropolitan lighthouse is at 500 Courtlandt St in the bronx K-5 the location listed has a different lighthouse name with K-7 I have never been to the story ave location but I know they follow the same curriculum which is very bad children should have they're own text books and computers are affordable or can be donated they don't seem to focus on students to much but they do smile but they don't listen and do not care for your opinions or concerns I've seen better learning in public schools looks are deceiving Close Quote
