Benjamin Banneker Academy

The worse experience for my 2 kids, they were bulling by teachers , because of their skin color they were out of sports activities, my daughter participated in the cheerleader team they won first place but the pictures of the group where she was they didn't posted because she was the only white girl in the team ,ashameStaff members unprofessional and without education and manners they talk like the on the streets , thanks God I got my kids out of there ,now in 4 months in a new school they both got awarded for their work ,math and reading achievements. Sorry to said this but if you got white kids dont send them to this school you'll be sorry

i wouldnt reccomend this school if you have other options there is not one day a fight doesnt break out, especially with the current 5th grade the whole school knows how terrible they act they cant even have physycal education anymore. Some of the staff are saying profanity around and at the students and contradicting themselfs giving out chewing gum and then giving the studests detention for chewing gum

I called for information on how to transfer my son out of the school since I moved out of the district and the Mr Walker who’s the principal was very nasty on the phone. He refuse to help me and made me feel less of a mother because my son went to charter school instead. I’m happy my son won’t be attending this school because I can only imagine the way he speak to the children, parents and staff. He don’t need to be working in that environment maybe he should get another profession where he don’t have to deal with people. Sorry for my rant but my first encounter was horrible.

This is a great school, no parent should leave a child to sharpen their learning skills solely from what is taught by the teacher. I work with my son's teacher throughout the yr to reap grt results. Keep on keeping on Dionne Warwick!

This school is by the worst school my children attended the teachers are rude the principle have no idea what is going on . If your child is struggling don’t expect help they will not help not a good place for children with a IEP or children who may need a IEP also they over work children , if one student misbehave teachers will make the whole class suffer and take away their recess.. my children are not finishing the school year here going to another district.

My daughter has been attending Groove at elementary since kindergarten, and she is on her way to the third grade. I enjoy how the teachers and staff are dedicated to the students well being and most of all academic.. My only problem would be that they don't send notices out in a timely fashion.. It's usually the day before if not the day of.
