Read what parents are saying about Fenger Academy High SchoolFenger High School has been a turnaround school for two years and it is making great progress. Since the start of turnaround, Its attendance has increased by 10%, it's ACT average increased by nearly one point (far beyond the district average), they won an award for one of the highest increases in freshmen on track to graduation, its percent of students going to college has increased by 5%, and more students than ever before are involved in co-curricular activities and sports. Fenger is a rising star that will return to its glory years because of terrific students, a dedicated staff, and exactly the kind of hope that Waiting for Superman inspires.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think this school tries very hard to compete. The teacher seem to be engaged and concerned about the students. I enjoyed helping my children with there excessive homework. I believe in home work so this was a plus for Dunne. The children's safety is very important to the staff as well. They are encouraged to plan for college which leaves lasting affects!Parent Review10y ago - Higgins Elementary Community Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI think Lavizzo is turning out to be a good school. In the past it was horrible. There are some community members who make it tough at the school because they dont check there kids. The school is turning around and it is a better school now.Parent Review10y ago - Whistler Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf your only requirement it's a cheaper " Christian" education, then this is the school for you. However, if it's actually a quality education you seek for your child, I strongly suggest you go elsewhere! Though the teacher. my child had was ok, she lacked the resources and support from administration to truly make a difference. And I also agree with the previous post that everything is so disorganized! To see real improvement, a change is definitely needed staying. at the top!Parent Review10y ago - Roseland Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is not fit to educate. Most of the staffs children attend the school and receive preferential treatment. The staff has a condescending attitude and the policies fluctuate based on it. Staff will band together and mistreat students and parents if you question and expect them to be responsive or responsible for your child and the events transpiring while in their care. They simply ignore your requests for information and assistance with anything. The worst place to send your child if you want the best for them. Teachers are on their phones during class time but punish the children for not staying on task. There was a teacher in thigh high boots and a short miniskirt teaching very young children, very unprofessional in my opinion. This school only offers extracurricular activities for 6th grade+. It's supposedly an African centered school but I have yet to see what education is administered in that area. The school should have a complete overhaul from top to bottom as well as customer relations training.Parent Review7y ago
