We transferred our son from North Penn in 3rd Grade - it's the best decision we've ever made for him! Our academic and social concerns have disappeared. He was insecure and didn't like school. He was nervous and began stuttering at his old school. On the very first day, he bounded off the bus and said

He now loves to read - and his report cards are near-perfect. Most of all - he's happy! The teachers are completely focused on the kids - the classes are small (17) and parents are very involved. It's everything I had hoped for in a school and for my son! Read less

This school has well exceeded expectations! my son used to attend public school, and switching to scsc has been the best decision our family has made.

Probably not for everyone, but a definite blessing for our family. Our daughter was failing miserably in the public middle schools due to their inability to accomodate some of her probems (inattention, forgetfulness, disorganization, social awkwardness) and work on them w/o jeopardizing her academic

She's a bright kid with lots of promise and is finally getting the opportunities she deserves. The parents are highly involved, are allowed to participate fully and can have meaningful discussions with the teachers. It may not be utopia, but it's definitely not a factory.

This is not a bad school, just not as different as they claim to be. The administration and teachers have abandoned many of the features promised in the charter and are using many of the 'old school' methonds. They no longer embrace child-directed learning, and individual learning plans are all but

The promised collaboration between the community, parents, teachers and students is non-existant.
