Heketi Community Charter School

HEKETI COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL 405 CONCORD AVENUE
This charter school is the worse charter school the Bronx has ever created. My kids deserve better. Everyone who is a parent and loves their kids want better for them. I took my kids out of public school hoping they will get the attention they need. Their grades were good, but I wanted a smaller school for my kids. I was so disappointed because their grades dropped, their teachers were unprofessional, and the principal just looks away. One of my kid's teacher talk bad about other kids, other teachers, and parents to me on parent teacher night. All I wanted to do was talk about how my kid was doing. Overall the school is a low performing school. I wanted to give the school a shot for my kids because it was in the neighborhood and one of the teachers told me it was a school centered around community. What a joke!! My kids were teased and bullied, called out of their names every single day. The teachers did nothing about it. They protected the bullies and the teasing continued. Teachers keep leaving in the middle of the school year. So many teachers leave Heketi and my kids don't do well. The school is disorganized because they never send me information through the email. I don't get letters from the school about trips and events. I always here about things at the last minute. My kids wanted to go on a trip and could not go because no one told me and the teacher always yells at my kid and punish them. My kids did not have behavior problems before they came to Heketi. Overall this is not a school I would tell any parent to send their kids to. I am a working and single parent who is so disgusted with this school and I will not send my kids there next year.
