My experience at this school was that alot of teachers did not care to teach and allowed students to act up, fighting was common at the school.

As a parent of two students who went partially last year, all I can say is stay away!!! Don’t get me wrong the fluff and “Genius” this and “Genius”that, massages the ego but beneath the surface there are major problems. The test scores are horrible as you can see. No report cards. “Charter” classes like entrepreneur but majority of the kids can’t even count or add in the 4th and 5th grades. They even used my daughter’s adoption as a way to promote their “new learning” tactics on national tv. My Wife and I immediately regretted doing it to this day. It was so bad I chose to take my daughters out who couldn’t write,read,or do math beyond a 1st grade level just like most of their peers. I quit my job and homeschooled them and we worked harder than we had in our lives. I was able to get my special education 4th grader on 5th grade level and my first grader actually discovered she may be a genius.lol.. They were motivated by the history of Blacks and an obligation to take advantage of the educational system their ancestors fought for. So imagine the defeat they felt when they were told by below average Kindezi Gideon that they would have to repeat the 4th and 1st grades. My daughter cried and told me she just wanted to prove herself. Imagine being a Father who worked her endlessly threw her learning disabilities and overcoming years of feeling inferior to be told by the same institution who praised her on national tv but failing miserably, now saying she would have to repeat a grade simply because she wasn’t homeschooled at an accredited school. The audacity of a school with a 99% rate of under preforming students to actually act like this. As a home owner paying a large part of my $5000 property tax to a institution that is failing our kids makes me sad and uneasy. So I suggest all parents to take your kids and run!! Run to your School Board Meeting,City Counsel Meeting, etc and force these schools to help educate on Black Boys and Girls who barely can read and write. Instead of playing jazz on the first day how about using that money for Saturday family reading and math classes?

Students are disrespectful, not disciplined by their parents and don’t care. As much as the teachers try, students do not care for their education.
