This school is horrible…read more They failed to teach my son to read by the time he was supposed to be in 5th grade. Starting at the time he was supposed to be in third grade I began to ask them for an aptitude test. Kate Craig one of the quasi teachers at this sesame Street playgroup claimed my son was dyslexic also claiming that she was specially trained in recognizing learning disabilities and had special training for special education. She claimed my son was dyslexic. 2 years later we were finally in court and they were ordered to participate in professional aptitude testing outside of their quasi school. Upon being tested by a professional outside of this quasi school it was determined my son does not have dyslexia that he is incredibly intelligent that there is only one thing wrong and that is the delivery of information is not occurring properly. It was not until 2 years later that he was actually tested after my requests for aptitude testing. He was measured to be in the bottom 5th percentile of all areas. Instead of acquiescing to the idea that their structures and curriculum was failing they went on the offense and began to make retroactive documents and attempt to make it appear as though there was a problem at my home creating his inability to be given proper scholastic instruction. I've met several fathers in our small community that removed their children from this horrific institution. This failing establishment should never have opportunity to impress upon children as they will teach your child politics and extremist philosophies.... while failing to teach your child basics scholastics.... I have documentation and I'm available to answer any questions you may have. James E Shelton 7074763918

For both our children (graduates 2016 and 2019), Mistwood was a great experience and a wonderful…read moretransition from home schooling on the river to high school here at the coast! We loved their hours and flexibility, which allowed for a gradual transition. The kids loved the community created at Mistwood, the fun classes and games in- and outside. Especially remember all the birthday gatherings, where everybody shares kind memories, other special events and of course all the fabulous school plays, where many kids really found their voices. I appreciated all the play time given to the younger grades as well as the academic standards achieved in the upper classes, while allowing every child to go at his or her own pace - the advantage of a smaller school and truly committed teachers! So I can certainly recommend this unique learning experience.

Cedar Smith kept passing my son with fake grades. I called her out on it with Warner and suddenly…read morewe needed a curriculum intervention. Cedar refused to come inside. Warner Said he got a busy signal calling my smart phone. Not very smart Timmy. Everyone can see your email lying. If you want your kid to get the lowest education possible then Alder Grove Charter School is for you. We now have evidence of his Algebra grades. Cedar Smith denied my son a proper education. It had nothing to do with her political activism. Lawsuits are definitely coming. I asked for a different teacher and Warner refused. Erica Alston actually cares about her students unlike Cedar Smith.

My children graduated from Aldergrove and had the best education I could imagine. I am so grateful…read morefor AG and the support my kids got. They did concurrent enrollment and graduated College of the Redwoods before they even graduated High-School. We had the liberty to choose our classes and curriculum with tutors, mentors and support. I cannot say enough about AG and our experience there. I am really sorry to read the review on this site and find it extremely hard to believe. Tim Warner is professional and caring and has never been known to lie or abandon a parent or student. He is totally approachable and reasonable. If you have a concern I recommend you redirect it and try contacting Tim politely. There are so many students that benefit from AG and the review I read on this site is the first negative experience that I have heard of. I also have never heard of a student not being able to get transferred to another teacher, this seems so unfounded. I hope you find the education your child deserves and I am sorry to hear that you felt let down.
