My son started at Challenger school over a year ago when he was four. He went to Montessori Visions…read moreAcademy prior to that. It's quite a change in his academic progress and his enthusiasm for school. He says Yayy every morning when I tell him what day it is, and that's school day. He started reading when he was four and a half. I don't have to ask him twice when it's reading time at home. Somehow Challenger got him to feel like he is having fun when he reads or works on the worksheets. He is able to explain to me errors he makes on his worksheets at school, and able to show me corrections. I am happy with his academic growth at this school. I like that the school entrance is locked at all time. You can't get to the front desk before you get approved to pass through the locked entrance There were couple times I had issues with admin. At first, I didn't know the school required uniform shirt and pants. I only ordered my son uniform shirts and went to buy him pants from a clothing store. One day he came home in someone else's pants with no note to explain why his pants were changed. When I called, that was when I was informed about the mandatory uniform. I was upset at how they made him change into different pants at school, and how they didn't have the courtesy to call me to work out the uniform issue. Another time was when I received a past due notice, and a warning of my son's school termination if the past due was not taken care of by so and so date. I was not made aware of the due. When I called the school to take care of the amount, I was told that it was from the one day that we picked him up late. Ms Brenda always calls me back in timely manner. For how happy my son is at this school, I can look past all the admin issues I have had.

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 has several serious concerns that affect both academics and overall school management…read more There are significant gaps in core education, including the lack of a dedicated art teacher and no proper science room or consistent science instruction. These missing resources limit students' learning in important subjects. There are also concerns about staffing quality, as many teachers do not appear to have relevant degrees, which raises questions about academic support and instruction quality. In addition, there are ongoing concerns about leadership and school administration. Many parents feel the school would benefit from stronger, more transparent, and more effective leadership to better support students, staff, and academic programs. The GATE program has also raised concerns about fairness and transparency in student selection, with questions about how consistently the process is communicated and applied. All PTO moms kids are in Gate program....() why ??? It's for gifted kids Not PTO moms kids that bad behavior and low grades... There are also concerns about resource allocation, including spending on a garden in Las Vegas, which some families feel is not a priority compared to essential academic needs like Science and Arts programs. The Harvest Festival has also raised questions among parents about transparency in how winners are selected, and clearer guidelines would help ensure fairness and trust. the school would benefit from NEW stronger leadership, improved academic resources, better-qualified staffing, and more transparent systems to ensure fairness and better outcomes for all students.

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.

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.
