8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageStaff do not care for the well being of your child while in their care. If your child has special need or has an IEP, this isn’t the school. They play favoritism and will not discipline students when bullying occurs. Staff members are nonchalant. Inappropriate student to teacher behavior. The dean WILL yell at your child which explains why a lot of students do not attend the school. I spoke with principal and she told me to transfer school because nothing will change. Very bad attitudes and your child will not be watched properly. This school is a huge disappointment. They are dropping academically every year and it’s because they aim to comfort the staff and not the parents and students. Please think twice about this school because it need a turn around. The dean will not take action if the child is in there favor. This school has affected my child’s behavior in a horrible manner because of constant disciplinary issue being over looked.Parent Review4y ago2 Reviews - Tilden Career Communty Academy High School
