Two Roads Charter School

Teachers and administration is disconnected from what is going on in their school. I did not find out my child was struggling with reading until she told me, that she wanted to learn to read and that she was embarrassed. A 5 year old. This should have been brought to my attention by the teacher that sees and works with her daily. I immediately got her a tutor and got her up to speed. The frustration comes from how unaware they are of their students! If my 5 year old didn’t tell me anything How would I have known.Playground concerns were brought to the attention of VP who informed me via email that he informed staff playground. Not knowing I speak to playground staff. I followed up weeks later with staff. They informed me the VP did not tell them anything. I immediately removed my daughter from the school. A child coming home with ripped knee jeans and bruises on her elbow from being pushed on different occasions some on the ground and wall is completely unacceptable! The concerns were not small. I do have to say, front staff is great! Friendly and kind. Unfortunately, a successful school isn’t sustained on a friendly and kind front desk staff. **In the correct environment she is currently reading at grade level and is a grade above in math.

When we left, we felt that the school was on its way down. They wanted to boost their numbers at all costs and their academic standards were starting to drop. A few good teachers hung on, but two outstanding Biology teachers were let go ( one was asked to leave, the other saw her position on Craig's list). The Chemistry teacher tried to hold up academic standards and had to leave. Good science teachers ended up leaving after a year. I counted 14 teachers who either decided not to start their first day at Two Roads (2), and the remaining 12 did not last the year, were fired, or did not have their contracts renewed.

Stay away from this school. Their only interest is in making a name for themselves and they will use your student to do so. They have written policies in their handbook that are good for the school and places the families at the bottom. We were disappointed from the start with the pressure and work load they placed on our students despite promoting themselves as a homeschool friendly environment. It is a typical over-achieving school that wants you to drink their school spirit kool-aide and then take your money any chance they get despite the government funding they receive. When you try to solve your conflict they will make you feel dismissed or you will get lost in the endless shuffle of, " not my problem."

Two Roads is a close knit community school where the parents, teachers and students all work together towards the same educational goals. Students are challenged within each classroom to reach their highest potential and the small class sizes provide extra one on one support for student needs.

I find it to be large enough to have a traditional school feeling , yep small enough for each child to shine on their own. I like that the teachers really know the kids.
