St Frances Academy

I don't feel as though the teacher is fit to teach all the students in the class this teacher is not able to control the class so therefore my child is not able to pay attention and learn and at the age of five kids are easily distracted I asked after being legally approved to help out in the school from his previous School to help out in the school and was turned down every time when I know my child and their performance is not up to Paw WHY CANT I ?????????? So what does that tell you?

It’s been wonderful.THE SCHOOL IS CLEAN AND THE ENVIRONMENT IS HAPPY.

My experience with this school was horrible. My son (lower elementary) loved being able to go to school to learn everyday, but he hated being bullied by a child twice his size in the process. There is a lack of communication between the teachers in regard to bullying that is taking place in different classrooms. If you are having an issue with something that happened in a class other than your child's homeroom class, 9 times out of 10 the homeroom teacher doesn't know about it because the other teacher didn't mention it. The learning environment was about as average as any other public school. It can be very busy at times and a bit overwhelming for a child if they're not use to making decisions for themselves about what activities to do next. I don't understand how they claim to be a school that is based on allowing children the ability to move around freely, but then the teacher complains if your child moves around more than other children. As far as bully is concerned, the students are able to get away with bullying because the principal doesn't have a clue about what is going on. Then when an issue is brought to her attention nothing is done about the matter either way. When an issue of one child doing something to another child is brought to the attention of the teachers they hold the children accountable by talking to them about how they could have handled a situation differently and what they should do in the future instead of what was done this time. They are great with communicating with parents about events such as fundraising, changes to the calendar, and other activities. In my opinion, if you're child gets accepted into a different charter school definitely choose that one.

Very disappointing - especially the academics! They only have one child in the entire third grade and only 4 children in the fourth grade! We have so many private schools in the area - choose a better one!
