This school has been such a blessing to our family. Our son, while getting burned out in a public school, now embraces learning. The educators are top-notch.

My husband and I could not be happier with the school, the teachers, the administration, or the excellent education our boys are receiving. Our kids have been there for 4 years and they are learning and loving it. The teachers all care about their students, current and past, and are always willing

Changes have been made that were necessary, and sometimes it takes stepping back and looking at the whole picture to fullu understand and appreciate why the changes were made. The new school is a wonderful facility that can provide more opportunities for students as well as for parents who may wish to volunteer. The larger school does not change the teacher/student ratio, there will still only be a maximum of fifteen students per class. Star has been a blessing to our family. Read less

The school's principal is not providing the leadership that is needed. Teachers are ruling the school. Some teaches are good, but others do whatever they want and are not good role models for the students. The principal is not responsive to parents's concerns.

Very disappointed in this school. The principal could care less about the safety of the children. There are a few great teachers and a few terrible teachers. I would rather homeschool my kids then have them attend this school. It's dirty and nothing what I expected.

Star is an outstanding school with staff and teachers that care about the children. The new principal has come under a lot of fire because she has made decisions that have been needed for a long time. For example, parents expressed safety as a #1 priority and then some were hostile towards the administration

My experience has been that the new principal is nice until you go to her with issues or concerns, and she seemingly does not do what is in the best interest of the students or families. I no longer believe my children are safe at Star Charter.
