New Direction College Preparatory

I have only had positive experiences here

The school's performance has been extremely concerning. My child was neglected, denied water, and not provided with any meaningful education. I have documented evidence of these incidents on a device I sent to the school. Even during a season when hydration is crucial, my child was not given water. Moreover, the teachers ignored my child and, in some cases, used force to teach him. These experiences caused significant emotional distress for my son. It's disappointing to think about how many other children, especially those from minority backgrounds, might have been negatively affected by this school's inadequate service. As a result, I decided to withdraw my son from this school. They refuse to mark. Him as homeschooling. Thus creating a "cps" situation I'M sure they are itching to achieve. Let this be known he's been in home school for 3 years. It's my choice. The system is BROKEN. Do not recommend. You take a chance.

I was a new parent at Owen during the 2014-2015 year. My son was new and he fit right in. Mrs. Bailey is awesome. I could email her and vice versa with any concerns, being a new parent. I must say that the staff and teachers work really hard to make sure the students are the best of the best. I am a very involved parent and I see a lot of parents working together helping the children and one another. I saw an immediate difference in the professionalism of the Owen staff verses the school my son previously attended. It was a difference in the curriculum and I was very pleased. This school year I will have 2 children attending Owen and I am so excited and confident that Dr. Griggs and Mrs. Morris, staff and myself will help them soar. I feel as if we are all on the same team with the same goal, being the Best of the Best.

As the previous comment mentioned its still same. Admin doesn't give proper consequences, kids are so disrespectful not only that but expect so much of you as a staff member with little to no support

This school offers many performing arts activities. Dance, sports, instruments, concerts, etc. My daughter attends this school and recently feels like she is being bullied my some staff and the principal and assistant principal. She feels unsafe and feels like she cant walk around without be addressed rudely or judged by staff and teachers. She wants to leave NOT BECAUSE OF STUDENTS (she loves her classmates) but teachers and staff. She has been attending since Pre K.

This was a terrible school. I just left that school a month ago and I got bullied for over three years and the school didn’t do anything. The principal didn’t know what to do, there broke, and it’s just terrible.
