Premier Charter School

As a former teacher I know student safety and staff safety is not a priority. In the last couple years the staff as turned over as new admin took over.

As a parent of multiple SLPS students in two different schools, I can say that Mason seems to be a good school. The first school my Mason student attended and my other student still does, definitely seemed to be better, but I can't fully say as we're in a pandemic and cannot fully engage as we could before. My student LOVES her teacher and her peers, and is definitely learning a lot, which is fantastic. I do have to say that the current principle Stacey Franklin, has been nothing but compleltely rude in the few interactions that I have had with her. Which is beyond anything I've ever experienced with any SLPS staff, as with the years that I've had my students in the public schools, it's been nothing but great. It's a shame to have someone like this, who is supposed to be the leader of these future adults. I do think that hopefully the rest of the staff can silence someone who truly seems to be miserable in her own life to make sure they know what a good person is supposed to be in life. That is just my experience, but did want to let other people know as well.

I have had 2 kids that score beyond grade level. My child loves learning new things and is a leader. He is aware he makes a chose everyday to be great. This school the teachers and principle has failed him. They will not provide individual assistance for your child if they are above and communication is very poor. There is only one reason to chose this school and it's for Mrs. Butler kindergarten class. If you care about your student just don't do it they will become simply a number.

I love my school teachers are great reccomend

My children have totally blossomed at Betty Wheeler CJA (formerly known as Kennard CJA). We transferred from another school and have been blown away. Many teachers have been working there for more than 5-10 years. There is a dedicated staff, great PTO, and great principal. There's many related arts options (drama, Spanish, Chess, art, music, PE, library). The playground has great mature tree cover. Beautiful building in a lovely neighborhood. We love Betty Wheeler!!
