Emma Jewel Charter Academy

My experience today was horrible! I have to check my child out early daily due to my daughter being released at the same time as she is disabled and is in a different school district and rides a bus home from port st John,while I get there the school is having a fire drill. so I had to wait for kids to return to class before the desk clerk could call him to the office when I go to leave, there are two lines going for people to pick up there kids when released one of the lines is formed inside the parking lot so I could not leave to get to my daughter I was stuck in the parking lot for 25 minutes as a single mom with no family I had to call the only person I know here to try to hurry to get to my child's bus as I am on the phone with the front office the women is telling me that there is nothing she can do that parents come early so this doesn't happen and I was early !! My daughter's bus had pulled over on the side of clearlake waiting for me to get there and was getting ready to leave when my friend got there.... What if there were a more serious emergency there is no way for anybody to drive out of there they need to figure something else out of make sure the parking lot is not being blocked!! The most rediculas thing I have seen with a schools dismissal!!!!they only got one star because I had to rate or it wouldn't let me post my review because I would not give no stars for that mess

This school SUCKS I was at this school from Pre-k to 6th grade and I didn’t learn ANYTHING when you get to middle school you are SO behind on everything there are only like 5 good teachers and staff in the WHOLE school, the bullying there is INSANE they call you racial slurs and get away with it and it’s so annoying, and the principal does not do a THING when you get bullied or hurt and blames it all on you like what happened to my friend and the school makes empty threats to the point you have nothing to be scared of. The teachers yell at you for no reason or just neglect you at that but they reward the “perfect students” and as a past one I can tell you it sucks you bullied even if you follow a bit of the rule and you just come to ignore it. There was a fight there almost EVERY SINGLE DAY at Golfview and you all get in trouble even if you weren’t there that day or you didn’t know it happened and it makes you so mad and you lose out on a lot of things. They also don’t do anything if your child gets hurt and they also give you a look for just asking and yeah would 100/10 NEVER RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.

My son was going to public school and every day was a struggle to get him to even go to school. He came to Creative Learning and has really started to grow both academical and socially. The teacher's are so caring and get the students to reach for there potential. My son always wants to go to school and finally feels like he belongs. It is not a cookie cutter program EACH child is evaluated and a path is set for them to succeed.

The P.E teacher Kenneth Reda is currently on probation for storming the capital Jan 6th 2021. The principal is doing nothing about it which leads me to believe she shares his views.

The teachers at St. Mark's have a special vocation. They teach because they were born to do it, and it's evident in all their interactions. There hasn't been a time that I've walked into the school and haven't seen them ALL smiling, energetic and ready to greet you and the kids. The same goes for all other staff members. They know each child by name. Daily chapel is such a wonderful experience for character development, and the traditions that have been part of the institution for decades shine year after year. It's a joy to see my child be so excited about learning. As a parent, it's comforting to know your child attends a place where everyone is invested in his growth and development. We all feel welcome and supported as a family. The academics are strong as well!
