Unacceptable experience no response or accountability …

I called National Heritage Academies in March because of issues with Emerson Academy in Dayton. I was told they would look into it and get back. No one ever returned my calls or my emails. Teachers are calling me because my grandchild is talking, not sitting down or listening. I thought teachers are the adults. I had a teacher call me today and when I told her my granddaughter stated three girls were bothering her. The teacher told me she was busy in class. Excuse me, I am at work, she interrupted me. Emerson Academy and National Heritage Academies are terrible. I think my next call will be to the State Board of Education

Riverton Street Charter Zoo

I don't know where to start. Ok this school year has been one of the worst experiences ever. Very unorganized, no one knows what the other is doing all the way up to the board of the school. Teachers vary depending on the teacher but all the greats are leaving because i believe they see the plane going down and fast. Bullying in the school is at an all time high and even when done in front of a dean there is no repercussion for the bully. No one answers the phone, ever i, actually called 30 times in a day and never got an answer. Favoritism is shown to stay at home parents that have time to be in the school all day. It's a complete zoo, they don't know which children leave with who. This is a very bad situation and although at this point I'm being forced to take my daughters out, i would hate to see another child hurt or taken because no one spoke up.

Continually striving to provide the best education for their students

Excel Charter Academy offers students opportunities for excellent academic growth and moral development. Rather than skimming by with an average status quot, they are continually striving to provide the best education for their students and to create a positive community for their students' families.

Excel Charter Academy is the best!

The teachers & all the staff are always so welcoming and personable! The teachers wait outside in the morning to greet each student as parents drop them off. The kids are always greeted with high fives & smiles. Seeing this every morning makes me happy :)

Kindergarten-8th Grade Schools Aren't Always a Good Idea

I have learned after 4 years that I don't much care for schools that include kids kindergarten-8th grades. They tend to lump them all together very often, but speak to everyone as if everyone is in 1st grade.

I think as kids grow into teenagers, they need to feel 'individualized' more and have opportunities to be themselves and not feel like 'little kids', which I feel a K-8 school makes them feel like.

I don't believe NHA teachers are any better than those of public schools, however I do believe that experiences for the kids are better because parents tend to be more involved/concerned, having enrolled their child(ren) there instead of public schools, where trouble tends to happen more often due to troubled home lives.

Need improvements

Plymouth scholars is an okay school with average to declining academic standards, limited opportunities for extracurricular programs and horrible -almost inhumane serpentine pick up and drop off conditions in Michigan winter. Teaching excellence varies from a teacher to a teacher.

Good job

This school does a good job keeping the kids well behaved and kind. There is a huge focus on college and their futures. We find the alternative (public schools) not even an option in this neighborhood.

The BEST School for My Child

Landmark Academy @ Reunion goes above and beyond to create individualized learning programs for their students. Teachers meet with small groups daily to address each student's needs, whether he/she is below, on grade-level, or above. They create fun, challenging activities that motivate students to reach their full potential. In addition, their moral focus program reinforces the values I teach my child to grow into a kind, compassionate, productive member of society. My child loves to go to school and I am thankful for all that Landmark Academy does to ensure his success in school and in life.

Landmark is a wonderful school! The teachers and staff are friendly and create a welcoming environment for kids to learn.

We've been a part of the school since it opened. I feel my children have gotten a great education from caring teachers that not only have a on for what they teach, but a heart for their students. There are multiple ways they challenge my children to help them grow. The moral focus virtues are seen everywhere and it helps create a caring environment for the kids. I would highly recommend this school!
