10 Parent Reviews for Columbus Africentric Sec School

Info
This school lacks discipline. If your child is eager to learn this environment is very distracting. The principle will let the kids do almost anything and get away with it. Children like to push limits and if there is no limit there is only chaos.

I have three boys who have attended from elementary. I think the academic program that our school offers is a God given opportunity for those students who are willing to work for the grade.

I have 6 children at Africentric ( Ist, 3rd, 4th, 2 in 10th and an 11th grader). All of my children are boys. Africentric has helped them grow and open a wide door of opporutunity to have some sort of success in the world. We are pleased with the program and happy to have our children there.

People say it continues to be the students or the teachers that is the problem when it is really both the students and teachers.

my kids have been in the school, although I have had some issues with some teachers for the most part I like the school.

This is a great example of schools which feed directly the needs of the communities they are located in.

Disappointed with the quality of instruction. Students are constantly disruptive and teachers seem to have very little control over the classrooms.

The discipline in this school is lacking. I believe that the kids are disrespectful to the teachers and teachers feel helpless to do anything about it. the teachers try hard and are very dedicated. Something needs to be done about the behavior of the kids.

Africentric will be the top school of the future, under new administration quality will soar. While currently in transition will be an excellent choice for students wanting to receive college credits during high school years. A great benefit to urban family unable to afford out of pocket college fees.
