As the mother of a 1st grade boy who's finishing his first year at PWCCS, I've got to say that I am…read moreso pleased and completely impressed by this school. The staff at PWCCS are caring and attentive with students and parents. The academic and spiritual curriculum are well balanced and thorough. And I love how organized everything is. PWCCS is also an incredibly active school, with school-wide events throughout the year. I love the small class size, the school's active interest in using the advances of technology to aid in teaching and I love the open lines of communication we parents have with everyone at the school -- from the principal, to the teachers, to other parents as well. And one more very important reason I love this school -- my son is thriving there. We are looking forward to next year.

PARKER LOCATION: My grandchildren attend this school. We…read morecould not be happier with the outcome of their education. Teachers are above excellent and I can't say enough about this school. Uniforms are required and they have many extracurricular activities that your children may be able to participate in. If you are looking for the best charter school in the south area, make sure to look into American Academy's new Parker facility. You won't regret the education your child receives at this school. The teachers are AMAZING. The ability grouping teachers are phenomenal. Wish I could give them a score of 10 stars. A rarity for me to give this high score.

We initially thought this was a great school, but over time, severe safety, cultural, and academic…read moreissues became apparent. Administration consistently prioritizes the school's reputation over student well-being. Severe Bullying & Dismissed Violence Bullying is very rampant, and administrators sweep physical fights under the rug. My child was punched in the face during a PE activity of tag for catching another student in the game, which leadership dismissed as an "accident." On multiple occasions, another student hit my child under direct teacher supervision; the teacher did not care, and leadership dismissed it as well. These are not isolated incidents but is instead a culture actively fostered. Physical Staff Outbursts Some teachers get physical with students. A school counselor violently yanked a desk, causing a student to fall. Another teacher pulled multiple students' arms. Despite video verification and multiple student reports, that teacher is still employed. Administration only offered to switch the reporting students' classes rather than taking disciplinary action even after receiving video verification through school security cameras. Academic Neglect & Discouragement There are many kindhearted and great teachers but we have experienced many that were in favor of the bare minimum. They assign excessive homework on content barely or even completely uncovered in class, straining parents. When my student advocated for tutoring in a challenging subject as they received in the past before, their teacher completely rejected them. After I stepped in to tutor my child at home, the teacher explicitly accused my child of cheating multiple times and destroyed their confidence in a subject they were trying hard to master. Unreported Missing Students During student dismissals, multiple students have gone missing. Administration hides these incidents. While waiting for my own child who was released late, I witnessed teachers frantically searching for two missing students (one a kindergartener) who had left school grounds. The school never communicated this to the parents, likely because the affected family did not speak English. Hypocritical Food Confiscation Under the guise of "healthy eating," staff completely confiscates students' lunches and snacks without warning, including whole-food snacks and PB&Js. Disturbingly, leadership admitted these snacks are given to the staff to eat because "the staff works so hard" when students questioned why staff can eat unhealthy things but the students can't. Confiscated lunches are never replaced, leaving children hungry, even though the cafeteria serves the exact same items. When students point this out, staff has told them that it's not PB&J sandwiches they're serving, but sunflower butter ones which is contrary to their school menu that states they serve both in their cafeteria. On another occasion, staff was selling chip bags and then confiscating the same chip bags later since they were unhealthy. This hypocritical policy meant to "demonstrate school health guidelines" is only selectively enforced based on opportunistic gain rather than from a place of genuine concern for student wellbeing. Inappropriate Political & Ideological Pressure Staff aggressively pushes personal political ideologies on young children. During a gender discussion, my 6th grader stated she was happy being a girl. The teacher targeted her in front of the class, stating, "Are you sure? That's kind of boring, you can be a boy too," repeatedly putting her on the spot. In another incident, a teacher asked students who their parents voted for, then declared to the class that all white ethnic people are racist and that they would never vote for a white politician. This school jeopardizes child safety for appearances, fosters unchecked bullying, permits physical outbursts from staff, and pressures children with political speech and peer pressure. Parents, please talk to your kids about what is really happening in school.

How do you even review a High School? Well, since I am home in Parker, Colorado for Christmas, I…read morethought it would be appropriate to review the school I knew oh so well from 1998-2002. On a good day the horrid ceilings look like espetus. The weird array of lunch food. Yes, I used to eat just French fries for lunch. I also learned in the cafeteria why you don't put aluminum foil in the microwave! I went to this school when the only housing around was the southern most tip of the South Pinery. There wasn't the Mormon church or even the amazing Carl's Jr just a mile away. We were in the middle of NOTHING. I loved almost every teacher I had. The theater and band were quite good and well renown in the area. Same for the football team. Granted it has been almost nine years since my graduation, but my heart is still filled with Mustang pride! I'll miss sneaking outside of the second floor door to have a smoke...or having the worst Chemistry class experience ever. I miss you Ponderosa, and yet... I don't at all.
