Viera Charter School

It is our second year at the school and we are very satisfied with the level of education. You might find the lower grades a bit too serious for the kids' age (more recess or play time would be better!) but altogether great experience. A clean and safe school with high standards. Amazing musical theatre program (Middle school)! We also love the Cambridge program (MS), the Writing club, the cross country/ track and basketball program. Lots of clubs and afterschool activities for the students. Great opportunities if the parents want to be involved.

This schools staff are horrible and disrespectful to student and parents. This a horrible place to go wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. The education sucks i have barely spell.

We've been with the school for 4 years now and have had amazing teachers! Communication has been great both in Elementary and Middle and I know if we need anything, I just need to reach out. We love all the extra sports available especially at the middle school level where public schools offer almost nothing. I also like that the activity classes include spanish, technology/typing, and steam along with the more typical ones. My littles would like swings or a gaga ball pit and a functioning library. As parents, we'd like more buses to cut the car traffic down, and an expansion to high school would be awesome. Also some punishments seem to be a tad lax and/or uneven for middle schoolers. These kids who are constantly disrespectful and disruptive need to be shown the exit door.

Very disappointed with key leadership and administrative staff that appear to use the system in their favor relative to their best interest or their family members who attend. I will say the highlight of our kids experience at VCS were all related to a few good leaders/coaches that no longer are there as well as some really good teachers whom are still there......for now. I would say the curriculum is fairly challenging at times but can be very subjective to the teacher's interests/belief system and party affiliation. We had to remove one of our children from a teachers class for using subjective material that we considered inappropriate. But our main concerns and ultimately the deciding factor to not attend next year related to how the administration and leadership handle bullying incidents. Our child was bullied on several different occasions and was not handled very well, quickly or accurately with "investigation" that was biased. I don't believe the staff is even trained to handle bullying events and should be trained in better practices to better help their students. Finally, the sports teams and clubs seem to be a very positive outlet for our kids and would recommend those extracurricular activities but please review all the posts on this review thread as there seems to be trends that have not been resolved over the years. Further, there are several faux reviews around the same day to counter a poor entry that seem to be a fair assessment and similar to what I have experienced. I would not recommend this school if you have other options that may be more favorable for your child's long term success and preparation for High School.

Most people i know that have been to public school dislike this school and so do I.The dress code is horrible.For middle school, there are one way hallways so you have to walk the longest way to go to a classroom.The playground is awful too, there are no swings.And when I was going to get to go here I thought there were vending machines and delicious food eveyday, and they removed the vending machines.And the people are pretty rude but the school cant control that BUT there is favoritism like one of my teacher gave one part of he class hot cocoa and the rest nothing when the rest of the class did nothing wrong...I suggest you go to quest elementary or john f kennedy middle.
