    5/5 Legacy Charter…read moreSchool -- Home of the Bulldogs -- has been such a wonderful experience for our family! We absolutely love this school. The teachers and staff truly care about each student and go above and beyond to help them grow academically and personally. The sense of community is strong, and you can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk onto campus. Our kids are excited to go to school every day, and we've seen so much progress in their confidence, learning, and friendships. Legacy provides a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment that really brings out the best in its students. We're so proud to be part of the Bulldog family!

    Rachel Crossman appears to consistently overlook what should be the top priority, student safety…read more In my experience, she also tends to dismiss or ignore concerns raised by teachers and parents, which makes it difficult to feel heard or supported. With the level of authority she holds, her judgment calls carry significant weight, yet many of those decisions raise serious concerns about whether they're being made in the best interest of students and staff. It's also worth noting that she encourages people to leave her positive reviews on yelp, which makes the feedback you see there feel less organic and potentially influenced. Because of this, I would take especially positive reviews with a grain of salt and consider seeking out a wider range of perspectives before forming an opinion.

In 2014 my sister found a dead body behind the schools fence. At recess, they did not alert the parents or shutdown the school day went on and after school, my sister told my parents exactly who the dead body was. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE. I was here from the 3rd - 7th grade. I'm 23 now. In the 3rd grade on September 11 my art teacher play a clip from 9/11 of people, jumping out of the burning building. With no context. I practically skipped the fourth grade because my fourth grade teacher, (Mrs. Shellhammer) would constantly kick me out of class and I had to sit in a corner in someone else's classroom for the entire fourth grade. I am not joking! If I opened my mouth, she would just send me to another class even though I wasn't getting written up!? In the fifth grade we had a friend her name was Sarah, she was an orphan. She had a foster mom with a foster brother when they came here we knew how Sarah terrible depression, and a cutting problem. My sister and a few friends brought her a basketball and covered it with glitter. No we did not spread glitter all over the school that wasn't the issue. The issue was when we were walking down the hall, we had glitter all over our hands and faces when we were told to wash it off, we said no. Long story short they brought the police so Sarah starts running away from the school. A police officer teases her before she can even get off school premises. We were in the office watching this happen. Also in the 4th grade, my music teacher (ms. shmitt) said infront of everyone "CHASE YOU DO NOT HAVE A VAGINA" because he was singing the part made for the girl. Also She heard I was sad about not getting the part in a dr. Seuss play so she decided to pull me out of my first period class to tell me what she thinks. She said, "you did not get the part because you cannot sing." Why did she only do that to me well because she heard someone say that, that girl only got the part because she's one of the teachers daughters and thought it was me who said it. Mind you I am literally crying before she even pulled me out of class because I had just gotten beaten down and in rock by my stepmom I was leaving from my hand and wrist and was. Also one day my parents showed up to school because money was missing so in the office my parents beat us in front of the whole staff. And did nothing about it even tho it's your job to report children being abused. Yet you guys constantly called CPS on us and then when you actually watch a child get beaten, you guys did nothing about it. What do you have to say for yourself Inca. My brother is autistic and was in a special needs class. My brother being in the first grade had accident in his pants and they didn't even bother cleaning him up. Mind you, when you ask for a tour of the school, they have showers that are made for children of special needs in the nurses office and in the classroom. They locked him in the bathroom and he was playing with his feces. It wasn't just the teachers it was the staff and the principal they were all generally bad people that did most of the abuse especially if we're in the first grade. I got sent to a first graders classroom for detention and I watched the first grade teacher treat all her kill shit I literally stood up and said yeah I'm not staying here and walk the fuck out until the office pulled me right back into her class and so her and another teacher were literally looking at me and laughing at me the entire time. Tell me Inca was any of the right or appropriate why didn't you just transfer me to another teacher if I was missing so much precious learning time. Why didn't anybody call CPS when our parents put their hands on us right in front of the whole entire staff?

    This school is terrible in all ways. I am a student here and do not recommend this school. kids…read morehere are disrespectful aggressive and just over all rude.

    This school has major issues. My daughter was so scared to go to class I couldn't get her go, due…read moreto an ongoing bullying issue with her, her sister, and other classmates. Despite the team at this school seeing and hearing the fear in her voice (she couldn't breath...she was in horror and terrified), they refused to switch her out of the class with a bully. Mind you, this school has kids in sections all day. You are with the same group all day. Instead of switching her out of class, they insisted for a month, that forcing her to go to class would help. After 9 days of my daughter in horror of sitting in class all day with this child, I encouraged her to go (per their request). Day one of returning, this bully would not leave my daughter alone and shoved her. The team there says it never happened. They claimed to review cameras and that this never happened. This happened to other parents, and they refuse to provide evidence for parents to see. Meanwhile I have been able to provide a steady stream of evidence to the school, and they claim it's false. The PD has also shared this school has been made aware of this issue from a handful of parents. I've never heard my daughter cry in such fear before. Since they still refused to switch her out of the class, I brought her in so they can face her so they can say to her face (hyperventilating, crying and in terror) and say to her face that she is "lying". They all said they were "busy" twice while I waited. Not one person in their large leadership team could come out. This school took 30 days of inaction and has accused my child and my family of lying. This experience has been beyond traumatic for our child and our family. I am very disappointed in Great Hearts with how this has been handled. The leadership has been rude and condescending during this whole experience. I am telling everyone I know to avoid Great Hearts. They do not stand by their mission and values. Avoid this school at all costs.

    In an effort to protect children and their families I do not recommend this Young Hearts. My son…read moreattended this school for 4 months and it was absolutely awful. He was at one school prior to this one for 3 years. We moved him because of the reputation Great Hearts has. We were also told originally that by attending Young Hearts, you receive priority getting into Great Hearts which we later found out is not true and illegal. I have a long list of issues but the biggest one that I believe families need to be aware of is that there are two teachers that put their hands on children here. I can only speak to our experience with Mrs. Hopple aggressively grabbing and pulling my 3.5 year old on the playground against his will while he pulled away and cried to the point of almost throwing up. I only found out about this when other parents kids went home scared and shared with their parents what had happened who then shared with me. Once I asked my son he shared the same details. I went into the school the next day livid about the lack of safety and care for my child. I was told by Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Campbell that it was investigated, they watched the video footage and what was shared with me was true but they thought it was a "coachable" moment for Mrs. Hopple. Mind you before this even happened, there were multiple incidents I would hear Mrs. Hopple yelling and raising her voice at children and had made complaints about this and was told over and over that she was being "coached." I filed a complaint for negligence with their headquarters and was contacted by the vice president of Young Hearts who was also livid about the situation but said mrs. Rodriguez had made the choice to keep Mrs. Hopple as a teacher already. I pulled my son from this school and can't in good faith not share publicly so other families can make informed decisions. There are two other teachers specifically I have heard not be kind to students and say things like "you are absolutely ridiculous and I shouldn't have to raise my voice at you all" which in my opinion is completely unacceptable when speaking to young children. Kids shouldn't feel threatened or scared of their teachers. Mrs. Macias was the best and the only reason I felt good about bringing my son there for a while but then she quit at the end of May and I knew that was a sign there was no hope there anymore. I know of two children who were unenrolled without notice by Mrs. Rodriguez. I've walked into class and witnessed students sitting in the dark around an iPad watching blippi/YouTube which I think is ironic for a school that pushes no pop culture so significantly. They announced based on parent feedback they are closing earlier and raising prices (no parent would request that, just say that was a leadership decision), and I have countless screenshots + documentation of unprofessional and negligent messages from Young Hearts that I am willing to share. I think leadership there is the worst I've experienced and that impacts the culture of the overall school and lack of care and commitment + why teaching is lacking significantly as well. I understand there's not many options out here for schools but I rather drive more and know my child is safe then go where is close and be anxious everyday about my child's safety and care. I hope sharing our experiences helps protect another family.

Don't send your kid there worse experience ever

    I will preface this with 0 stars!!…read more My child has attended this campus for three years and while there have been minimal issues the last two years. This year has by far been horrendous! The staff and administration present as if they thrive off parent involvement and accountability when in actuality they want the students to simply know the answers and test high, with no interaction from parents and when parents step in to seek guidance, support or clarification and attempt to hold staff and administration accountable they find any reason they can to paint the parent as the issue. Not only have I filed a police report against a teacher this year, I am now on my THIRD formal complaint with the board, have pulled my child and will be moving forward with legal steps. If you are an active, involved, and communicative parent this school will not be supportive. They focus on high score students and if your child begins to struggle in any capacity.. well it's up to your child to figure it out because 9 year olds are expected to be independent with their academic career. All while the administration allows for staff to intimidate, harass, bully, and use bias towards youth.

My daughter has been attending for almost a year now, since she turned one last April, and the growth I have seen in her has been incredible.

The staff made the transition smooth with their warmth, communication, and care, and it quickly felt like a place where my daughter truly belongs. A special thank you to Ms. Erma. The love, patience, and attention you give her every day means so much to me.

Her progress was exceptional and she walked away knowing partial sign language, having a great grasp on the alphabet and reading fundamentals, and was exposed to other cultures and languages. Plus, the staff is so kind and compassionate. Yes, the price may be a bit higher than other schools aka daycares, but you get what you pay for. We have infant twins at the moment, and once there is an opening to accommodate them, we will be heading right back to this Goddard School location.
