The kids are given age appropriate levels of autonomy, which has really helped my son thrive. They get the kids outside as often as possible and utilize their great outdoor space, including a wooded area behind the school. One example of this is my son and his class have marked out small squares of land in the woods as part of a science project and they go out there with some frequency to monitor how the land changes over the seasons. I've heard very cool reports home about this. They also just go out there to be kids and to play! The school is doing a really outstanding job of meeting each kid where they are along their social/emotional/academic learning process. For a small school they also have an impressive availability of resources to scaffold the kids where they need help. As my son is currently in 5th grade, I was thrilled to learn they will be having a 6th grade next year (2023-2024 school year) and plan to open a full 6th - 8th middle school the following year! The teachers are top notch - very engaged in designing an individualized educational experience for each child and are highly communicative and supportive with both the parents and kids. They have gotten my son from hating school to telling us about all the cool things he's learning when he gets home. Truly an amazing place!

It was very disturbing when I learned that my great grandson teacher did not allow him to go with…read morehis classmates on a field trip to the YMCA for swimming lessons after setting his expectations to attend. According to my belief a previous incident that happened on February 26, 2024, between him and the educator had been resolved and there was no mention of him being detained from enjoying the future field trip with his peers. However, I recently just learned after a night of anticipation an a exciting morning of preparing to attend the field trip on March 4, 2024, my great grandson was meant with disappointment by not being allowed to go on the field trip base on a decision between the school counselor and the educator which was, due to the incident that took place on February 26, 2024. It is my belief as an educator that issues should be resolved at the time that they take place. That, as an adult we should not make decisions that would hurt or impair the growth of another individual. It is my strong belief that all children have different temperaments. It is our responsibility to provide the support that each child needs to help them to overcome whatever objective they are encountering. Based on your principal statement, "Together, we will be creating more opportunities for family engagement and look forward to a continued partnership. At Chalkley, we believe in "Unity through Empowerment and Inclusivity". We are a family and believe that ALL kids can learn, no matter what. It is not a hope, we guarantee it!" How does this statement apply to my eight-year-old grandson who is completely devastated by the actions of this counselor and educator? Not only did she not allow him to attend the field trip, once she and the other students returned to the school, she forced him to sit in the classroom while she and the other students discussed the field trip. My question is when does the action of the counselor or educator cross the line and become mental abuse?

This school is so awful. I have heard stories of people spending hours and hours studying and doing…read morework only to be surprised by their exams later, which had nothing to do with the material. Although there are a few good teachers, many are inconsiderate and rude. The work load is not realistic for students, and the frustrating cycle of never being good enough is a constant struggle for students. Teachers are often degrading and humiliating as well, calling out students in the rudest way possible unnecessarily, and teachers picking favorites and being flat out rude is also apparent. Although a few high level classes are available, the school's schedule set-up often prevents those classes from being utilized. The school building itself is gross as well. There is hair everyone - on the floors, on the walls, in the bathrooms. The conditions of the school are hazardous and embarrassing. For the increasing price, there are many better private schools in the area that are better options for a future college student.

It was cool to come back to my old stomping grounds and see a high school play here. My son went…read morehere too so there's a history. This isn't a very modern or well designed high school. Walking in the front doors of the auditorium, you are met with stairs... strange layout. The foyer is small and the hallway is narrow. Trying to get into the auditorium created quite a bottleneck. I recently went to a newly constructed high school and the foyer/common area was huge and spacious. Here I felt like I was in a corral. The auditorium needs a facelift. Are these the same chairs that were here when I attended? The front of the school is landscaped ok, with an arbor and some benches etc. The restrooms in the front hall could use a tidy and remodel. Now for the play/drama team. We saw Beauty and the Beast. It was sweet, a typical high school play. Most of the characters didn't really stand out, and many were miscast, with the exception of Belle, who had a lovely voice and fit the character. As mentioned, I've been to another high school which did a production of this play and it was like a Broadway Show! I know, I know, they're kids, and I shouldn't compare, but the drama teacher could kick it up a notch. The costumes didn't do the play justice. However, the one thing that made this play stand out was the live orchestra! Well done, Mr. Blankenship! My hubby (a musician) and I were totally impressed with the band, the music and the execution of the score. After the play, we could barely move, tables selling headshots, candy, flowers etc. were lost in a sea of people. They would do better sales if they extended the sales tables down the galley hallway. In any event, this was for a good cause, it was a cute high school production that provided some light entertainment on a Thursday night! Maybe catch the weekend shows!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it... you've been schooled!

First off, this entire experience was a popularity contest from the start. Basically if you weren't…read morea cheerleader, on the football team, or in the leadership center, you were nothing and you were a nobody. I was picked on and bullied all the time here. When I wasn't picked on here, I was picked on at work since I worked with some people I went to school with. My freshman and senior years here were the absolute worst. I had to make all new friends because there was a rumor going around school my freshman year that some people were calling me gay and that is absolutely not true. My senior year (2010) you cannot even imagine. Every single one of our sports programs was complete garbage. Yes, even track; the sport I was involved with... and our track team is usually amazing, but not my senior year. Our indoor AND outdoor district and regional title streaks were broken by our biggest rival, Godwin High. Also, I loved the majority of the people on the track team, but there were a select few that were so cocky, condescending, and downright rude to me for absolutely no reason. Oh and get this, when my senior prom was nearing, I asked 4 different girls out and they all said they probably won't go. My stupid self believed them. The reality was they all went...WITH DATES! One even went with her boyfriend even though her relationship status on Facebook clearly stated "single". Why they didn't simply tell me they were going with someone else already was beyond me. Needless to say I went to my senior prom without a date. Also, my last track race of my high school career ended in a disqualification for handing off the baton outside of the exchange zone. Right after that meet when I got home, still feeling awful after the DQ our relay team received, I found out a girl who said she "loved me" and I loved her just started dating a guy on the track team who was the most rude and cocky to me out of all of them, and she knew it. I really do not miss this place. The people here were so rude and mean to me that I can't even describe some of the stuff to you. These were only a FEW of the stories. This place also drained all of my self-confidence to the point where I don't feel confident in myself to complete even the simplest of things and tasks or to ask anyone out anymore. What's really sad is this place made me think I was ugly as a person. I don't think I am that great looking of a person because of my experiences here. Oh, and do you seriously think that "no" is the worst someone can say to you when you ask them out? Well, apparently you haven't gotten answers such as "Why?", "What for?", and the one that hurt the most "Gross.". Don't get me wrong, I did have some really great memories here. I really did, which is why this is getting 3 stars, but it is so unfortunate that the bad outweighed the good. I still harp on some of the things that happened here because it somewhat gave me some anxiety. One huge plus though was that we were the first senior class to ever beat the faculty in the senior vs faculty basketball game which I was a part of. Even though I didn't have a great time here, I will gladly say our motto with the utmost pride "Once a rebel, always a rebel.".
