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
Posted by a parent on 12/10/2025This school is getting worse and worse by the years people think it looks like a good school from the outside but they have no structure no discipline. So therefore there is complete chaos. Also the principal only pitch sometimes when things get really out of control because it will possibly mess up
Posted by a student on 5/6/2019Horrible. This school has failed to effectively handle issues such as bullying and the classroom sizes are huge. The learning environment is sub-par, the students are disrespectful, and gaining a decent education is nearly impossible here.
Posted by a student on 11/7/2017Speedway Academies is a beautiful school with excellent staff.
Posted by a parent on 9/8/2017The school is clean. Teachers and staff are in continuous contract with the parents.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review3y ago - Dionne Warwick Institute

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis 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!Parent Review9y ago - Ecole T Loverture School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis 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.Parent Review1y ago - Grove Street Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 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.Parent Review10y ago - University Elementary School
