We have two kids at Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter—one in 2nd grade and one in 5th grade—and they’ve both been there since kindergarten. Our experience has been outstanding from day one. The principal is truly top-notch: visible, thoughtful, and deeply committed to both student success and school culture. The teachers are equally fantastic—caring, responsive, and consistently challenging our kids to grow academically and socially.We’ve seen real progress in reading, writing, math, and confidence, and the leadership-focused approach helps students develop responsibility and kindness. Communication with families is strong, the campus feels safe and welcoming, and there’s a genuine sense of community among the parents.As a parent, you hope to find a school where your children are known, supported, and inspired—and Hesby Oaks has absolutely delivered that for our family. We’re grateful our kids have been able to attend since kindergarten and highly recommend the school to other families looking for a nurturing, high-quality school in the Valley.

i love this school its fun and safe

As a former student at Birmingham Community Charter High School I can say with confidence that I am extremely happy that I made the decision to go here for high school. The teachers are very helpful and their lessons make you well-prepared for the homework that is given. Also from my experience they try to sit down with each student that wants to learn and gives them every opportunity to do so. The counselors do much more than switch your classes. They are there when you need someone to talk to and are extremely helpful in determining what classes will benefit you and to give you perspective and positive reinforcement. The administrative staff are always on top of their work and do a great job to make sure that the teachers and ready and equipped to give their students the best learning experience. Birmingham is a community and everyone has a mutual respect for one another. I am still using many things that the teachers taught and the counselors told me to this day. When I decided to give Birmingham a chance I did not know what I was getting myself into. Now I know that I got a great education and friends for life. I also developed professional relationships with multiple staff members to this day that helped me make it to where I am now. Do me a favor, go to Birmingham. I continue to reap the rewards and I am sure you will too!
