Our grandchild attended Fell Charter School for many years with many ups and downs regarding his relationship with his teachers. As a former teacher myself I realize that teachers teach differently-some can reach the student and some cannot. However, The constant irritation through our experience at Fell was the principal. She cared more for her reputation than the students and parents she was responsible for. As a former principal myself, I find she does not embrace the best practices for an administrator. The final straw came during his last year at Fell during the pandemic when most of the instruction was virtual. His teacher made many comments to him that were heard and would be considered bullying. The principal was informed of this but did nothing to help the situation. I would not recommend Fell Charter School to educate your child. read more

My children perfectly described a lockdown situation at school and I confirmed it with another mother whose children described the same thing. When I called and asked the principal about it she said there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happening that day. They went so far as to have the driveway blocked off with teachers vehicles but she said it was because of the weather. The drivers picking the kids up described a very odd situation, not weather related at all. Parents were never informed about what happened and the principal basically said my children were imagining everything. I do not trust her and in searching found out that as of 2015 she didn't have her principal certification yet. Seriously research before sending your kids here. Something not above board going on. read more

Wonderful school! My girls love it and love the staff! My one daughter has some personal issues she's working through and immediately, the school called be in to work on a plan. No waiting or playing around! My other daughter told her teacher she's bored and the work is too easy and now she gets harder work and is happy again! I love that they are there for each student and they are honest with us as parents and honest to the students. Are some of the teachers very strict? Oh yes, but the kids know there are rules and responsibilities that each student needs to follow! They all each parent to volunteer one a month if needed, you need to have all your clearances done, but the children are safe! That's all that matters! Some parents may not like the strict tone of the staff, but I think it's great! All children need discipline or else they walk all over you. Better then public school and better then homeschool, I love that my children are being challenged when asked for. ;) I love fell and I'm glad my children attend! read more
