Chatsworth Charter High School

Don’t waste your money, the school is actually a failing institution. It’s the type of place that news outlets need to do an expose on! Nepotism and favoritism are the pillars of this school. It is ALL of those things and more that the other 1 star reviewers are saying. Your children will not be prepared for college but you will duped through the years into thinking so. The school is negligent when you want to report teachers bad behaviors. They will take zero responsibility. Yet, the teachers complain about a toxic work environment. So, who gets the brunt of that toxicity? You guessed right, your children! There’s a dress code however, if you are a varsity player in any sport it doesn’t apply to you. You can come in pajamas and not receive detention. Don’t apply unless you want depressed child and a $500K bill on top!

Any institution comes down to the people who run it. For the past eight years I have had a child attending the school; the teachers and staff who have taught and watched over my kids have taken a personal interest in each one of them, and have celebrated them. I like that the curriculum may change from year to year, if the teachers find a better approach to a topic. Monarch has had its share of difficult times, and I have seen that the founders and those who sit on the Board of the school, are willing to try new ways and are students of ongoing learning themselves; this approach has only helped to enhance and prolong the creative and nurturing spirit hosted by the School and it’s supporting community. In a world that is becoming more Bible- illiterate, I value the scripture memory which has already proven to be an asset to my children’s growth, and emotional health, much of which is born from knowing that they are made by God who loves them and cares about everything in their lives, even as to where they go to school.
