Read what parents are saying about Boston Collegiate Charter SchoolMy child spent two years at this school and he ended up with severe anxiety from the constant taunting from teachers and administration staff. It was absolutely the most horrible experience we as a family have had in a school. They worked extra hard to remove my son from this school even asking to hold him back a year for absolutely nothing. Disgusting practices at this school.
Posted by a parent on 3/31/2019I have 3 daughters enrolled, can’t say enough positive things about the staff. The staff makes the school 10out of 10 !
Posted by a parent on 6/30/2018As a parent of a BCCS student my child entered this school from BPS the school is good but I have experienced the worse year this past school year with a teacher whom told me at every parent teacher conference that my child was at risk of failing her class and she did absolutely nothing to help my child. I've talked to the principal about why the teacher doesn't sign my child up for tutoring and I was told that she would be signed up but never was. So my baby was retained because she failed History by two points and writing by one or two points. I find it that they should've recommended summer academy.
Posted by a community member on 8/23/2015The only thing i disagree with BCCS policy is that if you fail 2 classes you get kept back! I think that is very unfair and it makes kids self asteem drop drastically! I noticed it in my child! I believe a lot of kids ends up dropping out because who want to be 18 in the 11th grade. some of the already have that disadvantage because they were born after september.They need to find a way to change that. Fail 2 classes go to summer school not get retained for a whole year! And tuturing and HW club i dont get the benefit of it...NOT FAIR !!
Posted by a parent on 5/6/2014BCCS is overrated, the teachers abuse their power over the students, creating a relatively prison like environment. Also definitely not a good environment for a child of color. They also do not care what college you are excepted in as long you get in. they don't push kids to strive for the best but to only meet the standards as much as they will try to tell you they don't. I got into an exam school and they managed to convince me to stay, as well as my parents, by saying I'd get a scholarship through the MCAS to any state college if you get advanced and proficient. Come to find that only the top few percent will receive that scholarship within the district. The are great advertisers I must give them that, you really have to read the fine print with these tricksters. The Lower School and Middle School is great, but I regret not going to another high school. If your child gets into an exam school especially, send them there, they will benefit from it much more. The high school fails to help those in need of it, I know kids who go to tutoring everyday, do all of their work and they still are failing classes. Homework is ridiculous don't expect your child to have much of a social life.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageReview continuedThe teacher that I worked under confided in me that she was not aware of certain IEP calls which I think is not ok. She made kids cry, at times would make them seem incapable. Students with colorful personalities, she would not allow to be themselves. I honestly believe it was just time for her to retire as some of her teaching methods were extremely outdated, or even like a dictator.And when it came to me rather than using my skill set, which my background is a mental health professional and I work with children, she micromanaged me. She was condescending, questioned my methods infront of kids or in private. If she did not like some thing that I was doing she would just completely remove me instead of talk to me about how she would like it done or understand that I might not do things how she does. There was no coming to middle ground. And when I finally got the courage to address how she was speaking to me, another adult, she became abrasive and extremely defensive. It was so bad that one day I left in the middle of the day in tears because of how she was treating me. And to make matters worse when I finally got comfortable expressing my concerns to other staff members. They told me that I was another para Who complained about her and had an extremely miserable time. And the principal did not do anything. After I stood up for myself with the principal and went above the principal to talk to BPS special ed department, she actually removed me from the classroom. For the last month I did not work with any students but instead saw out in the hallway doing ridiculous preparation for the following school year.This review is only to shed light to my experience which was similar to other experiences. Certain black staff members left due to this experience and I think having black professionals in a predominantly black student body is extremely imperative. Coincidentally though we all had the same experience with the principal. I tried to talk to the union about this but there was not much that they could do so I’m hoping that my story will bring some attention .Parent Review1y ago - Winthrop Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter just completed her second year at the Mather. After visiting many local schools, we felt confident that the Mather principal and teachers would provide a great environment and a love of learning. We haven't been disappointed! Our daughter participates in art, science, ballet, library, music, and phy ed classes taught by specialized teachers each week. Many community events such as student performances, family potlucks, open house nights, and so on have given us a chance to know teachers and other classmates' families. The staff is warm and enthusiastic. The building is beautiful and historic. We are very happy to find a diverse student body--encompassing many income levels, racial backgrounds, languages, and countries of origin--all learning together.Parent Review10y ago - Perkins Elementary School
