Read what parents are saying about Manley Career Academy High School(Note: the principal has changed and student enrollment is now less than 250.) The majority of students are amazing...with 30% rebellious, disrespectful, hallwalkers. The staff are amazing. The principal and assistant principal do not enforce their own rules, then condemn the rest of staff who try to enforce the rules. Students ignore the administrators' requests to their faces and nothing happens. The school is severely understaffed (teachers are asked to give up prep time to do other jobs: work as security, work as substitutes, etc.) Principal fired all the teachers who raised concerns or who spoke up on behalf of students' or teachers' needs in addition to giving them lower ratings before firing them. Students who disrupt learning are permitted to interfere with other students' learning. The needs of students with learning disabilities are met sometimes. They are ignored many times. The principal has created a climate where people are afraid to speak up about anything for fear or their job/retaliation.

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageKellman Staff and teacher are awesome. What people fail to realize is that parents are teachers FIRST and then the teacher are there to aid us. The school is a great place to send your kids.. a family atmosphere. Can't wait to bring my 3 year old into the program!!! It takes a village.Other Review7y ago - Faraday Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt was an pretty good school until this new principal got in. She is horrible and a bully. She has made it so that many of the students want to transfer and get out of their Jensen has lost a lot of good students and good staff. They need to get rid of the new principal, Dr. Conley.Parent Review9y ago - Johnson Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot impressed at all by this school. The academics here are not rigorous. Test scores are horrible. My kids need extra help with handwriting, composition, and math. Homework is optional so the kids feel like they don't have to do it. Administration seems more concerned with the Spanish language and preserving hispanic culture more than actual academics. For example in music most of the songs they learn are in Spanish, even for classrooms not in the dual language program.Parent Review11mo ago - Holy Family School
