    08' ALUM, first to review, woot-woot!…read more I ADORE MaST Charter and seriously miss it so much. A lot has changed for the better since I graduated. Not that anything was wrong when I was there, but all of us alum are jealous of the new broadcasting studio, library/lounge, and entire new building! This school is a K-12, meaning if you're child is lucky enough to get in early, you would be a fool to send them to another school. MaST is easily the best school in Philadelphia. Why you ask? Do you know any other charter school that has a multimillion dollar expansion, small classroom sizes, teachers who know every student in the grade by first and last name? Also, I was just telling someone how you could never skip class at MaST no matter how slick you think you are. The teachers notice when their students are gone and will notify their parent/guardian. I know from experience... oooucch. As lame as it sounds, this school is seriously like a gigantic family. I know plenty of people who went to public schools or other charters and they are shocked to hear that I graduated with 77 other students. We were are friends or at least acquaintances and went on a class trip to Disney together. MaST now has opportunities to take trips abroad (with chaperone's of course). This school is also EXTREMELY safe. No metal detectors or security is needed here. Save all that fro Washington or Lincoln. From an educational standpoint, I thought this school was not a walk in the park by any means. You could always get help if you needed it, whether it was from teachers staying late to other students. They have a good amount of sports teams at MaST except football which a lot of the boys complained about, but they would have tag football games from time to time. I had such a great time in high school (I went to MaST such 5th grade, but really started to appreciate it in 8th-12th). Apply ASAP! Students are chosen by a lottery system. I will be back to visit at least twice a year for the raffle and to see my fave teachers!

    I based my rating on MaST 3 .. School is unorganized, my daughter isn't learning anything but play…read moretime...she's a third grader they're doing PSSA now and half the students are disruptive. it's sad when my daughter says "please take me out of the school because I'm not learning anything and take me back to Mariana Bracetti Academy" The rave reviews about the school ,I thought I was fortunate to get my daughter in there .the grass isn't always greener on the other side;hopefully she can get into maST 1 but number 3 is trash. I'm starting to believe they're treating the outside neighborhood kids differently than they do the kids that are from that neighborhood prove me wrong

    I honestly cannot believe what our experience has been like with Newtown Friends School. It was…read morerecommended to us by an acquaintance whose children attend there and love it. Small classes, progressive values such as inclusivity and diversity, values that so much seemed to reflect our own. It just so happens that our fourth grader was the victim of a crime over the summer before attending this new school. His behavior was affected by this event and, initially, NFS staff, using their language of partnership and collaboration, provided support that had an immediate positive impact. As they expressed a willingness to collaborate with us so did they decide NOT to actually collaborate. The simple recommendation was to keep the support in place and unchanged for a number of months. For whatever their reason, they chose not to do so. This immediately set our child up for failure as they made changes to the support that was working perfectly. Despite our efforts to collaborate, they simply changed it with no regard to what would work for our son. As a result, he was basically set up for failure. Our bright and motivated 9-year-old boy was never in so much trouble as he was at NFS. He was clearly under their critical microscope and their lack of understanding, empathy and unwillingness to work with him was both shocking and obvious. We decided that this school was definitely not a match for him or for our family. The values that they tout are good on paper but our experience is that none of them were genuine and there was no caring about our child, family or experience. "Teaching the whole child", and all of their "partnership", was chewed up and spit out along with us. But they made a point of keeping our.overpayment. Please know that NFS collects tuition fully in advance of the school year being complete. So if you invest in this place for your child's education and well-being, be prepared to lose your money if your child is deemed not good enough by those on high in administration. A sad reflection of Quaker values equating to a complete and total lack of empathy, enormous hypocrisy and obvious greed.

    Pros: So far I like this school that my daughter attend, I…read morehave no major issues with any of the staff and believe that the staff here actually care about the students. I have been sending her here for 2 years now and she will more than likely continue coming here up until 5th grade. The staff is all really nice and seem to be teaching my daughter a lot. I can see a huge progression in both reading and math and my daughter actually enjoys going to school. There are so many good things going on with this school, like they just installed security cameras and last year the roof was redone. Although this is a public school, they are making the necessary changes so that our children remain safe in their learning environment. They have a lot of activities and things for parents to involve themselves with the school and their children's lives, from fundraisers for the home and school and parent round table meetings to improve the school. The school is very diverse so your child has the chance to be around a melting pot of cultures and races. Cons: I had an issue last year with my daughter being bullied and the school sorta intervened but I feel like they need to take bullying more seriously and focus on stopping the bullying when it occurs. Another downfall to this school is the main office, whenever I go to the main office to pick my daughter up they take forever and if i have a set appointment time for her, they take so long actually getting her to come down and i have to speed like a maniac to get there in time. I usually come about 30 minutes earlier just because I know it will take a while to sign her out! I also have some issues with the office women, a few times their attitude was just unwelcoming and terrible. If they are working with parents of the children who attend there, they should be a little nicer.
