I USED to be in this school in Kindergarten before, and what I think about this school is straight up bad. My teacher just gets me in trouble for nothing. One time, I left my packet at home, and I thought when I tell her, I could get another one since saw a lot of empty packets in her HAND, but she got me in trouble for not having it. In fact, we were THE ONLY KINDERGARTEN CLASS IN THE SCHOOL, so there was no reason not to give me one since we were not switching or anything. I don't even call the teaching motivating though. I never used to think much about it until now. I recommend TMSA Charlotte, since it teaches great leadership using Leader in Me. It also has a class individually for Exceptional students, pep rallies for classes who will take the EOG, and Clubs every Friday. My teachers always ask how they can help when our class is unmotivated to learn. I also improved a lot ever since I moved to this school. In fact, I'm the 2nd smartest kid in our class!

Both of my children graduated from this school and I couldn't have picked a better school for them. The teachers were attentive and responsive. They really cared and appreciated my children. They directed us to additional resources when needed and Kept me informed. Thanks to them pushing my son he earned a full scholarship to college. This is a very supportive environment and parents need to do a better job of supporting this community school.

I substituted at that school one time and that was the only. The moment I arrived on time and early, I was instructed to sign in at the computer. After this I waited and waited to be sent to the class I was covering. After it was getting late and the morning bell rang, I found someone to take me to the room and my experience and impression was as follows:1. The assistant principal asked me to cover a 5th grade class vs the 7th grade class I was covering. I declined, but asked why and was told you may be more suited for this. I still declined2. I entered the class room and the teacher did an excellent job of preparing a substitute plan for the class and I gave them their work. The kids finished the work and were becoming restless (age appropriate for 7th graders). 3. I get a message keep the students for the next 2 mods/periods because they are doing testing. Well at this point the kids were restless, and a bit loud because had no work to do. The female assistant principal came into the room and removed several students most were Black boys for disciplinary purposes and to make an example then said to me watch how quiet it will get now. I did get quiet, because the numbers were lower. The only reason it was loud was the kids had no work and are in middle school and have not quite learned to self regulate.
