Brown Street Academy

The school has a loving environment. The culture of the school is one that make students want to come to school and makes parents feel welcome in inquiring about their child academic needs.The principal is approachable and has a pulse for the communities needs.The many partnerships of the school also support the great need for resources that support student learning as well as cultural supports. Feeding America, Boy and Gurls Club, Greater Milwaukee, Schools That Can, TRI, City Year, Master Lock, AT&T, Arts At Large, Dance Works, Flood the hood with Dreams, and a host of others.

My experience at this school is an exceptional one. I really enjoy watching my children learn and develop educational concepts that will follow them for life. The staff is full of integrity and kindness. I would recommend all parents to enroll their children here, especially if they are looking for safety and appropriate, effective learning strategies for their children. Simply awesome!!!

What are these people talking about? Before I enrolled my children here, I heard nothing but good things. My friend told me she attended as a child and now her daughter attends. Worst decision I ever made. My kids have problems almost every single day. Office staff are sooooo rude, they don't even acknowledge you, you have to get their attention. My son told me a sub pushed a boy to the ground and the police were called. WTH!! Teachers do not have control of their classrooms. Complaints everyday. I will be taking my kids out of MPS. Only good thing I can say about that my kids teachers are really caring and really try to help, don't know about the other teachers though.

Children obey your parentsParents do not provoke your child to anger.Many see this in the Bible a think it's just about maternal or fraternal parents. When a child is in your care you become their guardian even if for one or 2 hours a day. When a child feels nobody's listening to them and nobody cares yes they are going to act out. As a parent I experience it daily, but as a natural nurturer I keep at it even if at times I feel like giving up. At the age of 26 I was a parent my mindset was focused on being the best mother I could be to my children. I read to them, song to them, love them etc and they changed my life. But , putting them at this school has made me now believe that I have failed them, this school has there favorites, they are misjudging mine and my children's character . If there are no excuses where is your accountability as educators, y'all speak of mutual respect but where is it? When a child tells u someone is messing with them ,but they get in trouble only. My children are children, and are not and have never been exposed to anything that is not like Christ, so if they are being accused of wrong that assassinates their character you need proof. Stop picking because you don't know the hell they suffered. Right is right and wrong is wrong, I don't pick sides because there's fault on both ends, but one fault hasn't been on the earth as long as we have .

Every school has its strengths and weaknesses, but some institutions stand out more for their flaws than their achievements. CTA, in this case, represents a school environment that fails to meet the expectations of students in several key areas, including academic quality, student support, school culture, and overall environment. While no school is perfect, CTA consistently demonstrates issues that negatively impact student success, motivation, and well-being. For many students, attending CTA feels less like an opportunity for growth and more like an obstacle to overcome.One of the biggest problems with CTA is its academic structure. A school’s primary purpose is to educate its students effectively, yet CTA struggles to provide a consistent and engaging learning experience. Many classes lack organization, with unclear expectations and inconsistent teaching methods. Some teachers may be passionate and dedicated, but the overall system does not support them in a way that allows students to benefit fully. Lessons can feel repetitive, outdated, or disconnected from real-world applications, making it difficult for students to stay interested or motivated.Additionally, CTA often fails to challenge students appropriately. Some classes move too slowly, leaving advanced students bored and unengaged, while others move too quickly without providing enough support for those who need help. This imbalance creates a frustrating environment where students either feel held back or completely lost. A strong school should adapt to different learning styles and levels, but CTA does not consistently achieve this balance.Another major issue is the lack of student support. Schools are supposed to provide guidance not only academically but also emotionally and socially. At CTA, students often feel overlooked or unsupported. Counseling services may be limited, difficult to access, or not as helpful as they should be. When students face challenges—whether it’s stress, personal problems, or academic struggles—they may not receive the attention or resources they need to overcome them.
