We had a truly wonderful experience with the preschool program at Challenger. Our daughter attended…read moreboth the 3s and 4s classes, as well as the summer camp, and we couldn't have asked for a better foundation for her early learning. From our very first tour with Ms. Brenda, we knew this school checked all the boxes we were looking for. She was reading words at just 3 years old, and the nurturing, structured environment helped her grow in so many ways. Any concerns we had during preschool were addressed promptly, and we always felt confident she was in great hands. However, our experience changed significantly once she transitioned into kindergarten. While the curriculum remains strong and academically focused, the environment felt much more rigid and less joyful. It is very one size fits all. We absolutely value education, but we also want our child to enjoy being a kid--through fun, creativity, and play. Another challenge has been the limited communication. Most interaction is restricted to quick exchanges at drop-off or pick-up, and calls are typically returned when the staff is available. There's little feedback unless you personally call and ask, so it's hard to know how your child is progressing until report cards are sent out. At times, important day-to-day situations involving our daughter weren't communicated to us. Lastly, we didn't always feel the school environment, particularly the front office, was the most welcoming. On a few occasions, I had to initiate conversations after being overlooked which left us feeling more like a number than part of a school community. Overall, the preschool experience was outstanding and gave our daughter a strong academic and social foundation. We're incredibly thankful for that time. Unfortunately, the transition into kindergarten didn't live up to the same standard. I hope this feedback helps other families make a choice that aligns with what they're looking for.

We love Challenger. Our son started preschool here as soon as he turned 3, and it's been nothing…read morebut fantastic. No woke agenda, and they really live up to their name, challenging the kids. He's about to go into kindergarten, and is writing, doing math, and reading at a second grade level. We also like that they integrate singing and music and art and performance into the curriculum, keeping it very well rounded. They also teach the kids about actual American history, and pledge allegiance to the flag and sing songs about america. Imagine that, a school that teaches kids to actually love their country! Kudos to challenger. It's schools like this that are why we left California.

We've done both Coral Academy (Cadence) and Pinecrest (St. Rose) and Pinecrest is better…read more First, Pinecrest has a very effective system to deal with bullying. My child is somewhat awkward like most preteens and has been hurt by the very unkind words of peers. Always the teacher involves the vice principle who speaks to both students and follows up with me afterward. Administration leaves classroom issues to the teachers at Coral and if they do address a situation they do not attempt to notify the student victim or their parent to "protect the other family's privacy." The teachers that we had at both schools were GREAT (6th grade teachers at Coral and 7th grade teachers at Pinecrest.) No complaints there. Administration is more communicative and helpful at Pinecrest.

This school was so bad I pulled my child out asap. First…read morethe drop off/pick up at the school is totally dangerous. They post signs stating no U-turns, parents still do it. They handed out fliers explaining the laws at school zones...no stopping in the road to pick up or drop off, no double parking, speeding, etc. The parents broke the law constantly and they did nothing about it, never enforced it, which is why parents continued to do it. So if the parents are like this you can only imagine how their kids are. Constant bullying. My child told me one instance when they were bullied to the point they cried, and the teacher Miss Goze, completely ignored him. I complained to her numerous times, the bullying child even stole an item from my kid, and she did nothing. She treated him differently never of his race, if he was her race she would have protected him. Miss Goze is the worst teacher I've ever encountered! The school being complacent about it just shows how horrible they run things.

My daughter has been coming here for almost 2 years and although it is a good school it has its…read moredeficiencies. One of those being that the management team is not very organized and there is not a whole lot of communication between parents and teachers. On second thought maybe there is some type of communication but it just seems like the parents are always the last to know. Also, my wife likes the fact that public schools have a library but of course the charter schools do not. Although we take our daughter to the public library instead I'm just saying that it would be nice for my daughter to be able to go to check out books herself at the school library. I guess it's just something we have to live with cause we don't want her going to the public schools around here. Just too much overcrowding and it will get worse before it gets better.

As a matter of fact, if you didn't start with them from kindergarten they don't really explain to you the process. They focus on bare minimum. I remember my first year. I was so lost. I had to try and figure out what was what and how I get newsletters because I just never knew what was going on. Just so you know they do send email with the news in case you're new here. They are helpful updates IF THEY MENTION THEM TO YOU! If your child is advanced I would say don't take them here! They put kids that are advanced and kids who are behind the grade levels and think about how hard it is FOR EVERYONE! The kids who are at grade level and above have to slow down for the kids who are behind. The kids who aren't at grade level need extra attention and become disruptive as the kids who are at grade level and above are disruptive too. Can you blame them they are bored!!!!! How stressful do you think that could be for the teachers. I PERSONALLY seen how kids act. I signed a paper my child can walk home and the teacher also approved had no issues with this last year. However this year 2nd day and teachers were saying you can't leave where are your parents! Excuse me anyone can really pick up you don't have a list showing who is approved. 116 outside and they have my child walking back and forth. I honestly don't care what they teach my child as I teach them more at home because the homework was useless and way too easy! I talked to a few parents and they tell me how much they hate it here but unfortunately we are zoned here! Do better for our kids they are the future!

Pretty disappointed in the school. My foster son had severe issues after going through the trauma…read moreof being removed from his home. He had no education and was in first grade. He had absolute behaviors, which made it pretty hard for his teacher. Everyone was in agreement that the child needed extra support. As we went through the school year, this child did nothing. He would not complete tests, participate or do homework and received an F in every grade. And the behaviors were uncontrollable. I kept asking the school, the principal, the teacher, anybody who would listen to please hold him back. Sending a child that didn't even have the basic kindergarten education to second grade would be detrimental. But they didn't want to listen. We moved, and he is now attending a new school. The principal of the new school was shocked that Schoor elementary did not hold him back. They said that the school did him a huge disservice. We will be holding him back this year so he can catch up. In just 6 1/2 months this child is a completely different child with the support of his new school. His behaviors are nonexistent now, the only thing lacking now is still the education. I wish I would have stuck my grounds and continued to push for them to hold him back. Like I said, everyone involved was very nice, but I just don't think they were capable of making the correct decision for this child.
