Worst experience Ive ever had to go through. Both the middle school(Founders Academy) and the high school(Beacon Charter), are horrible. If you go to founders youll mainly be harassed by students, because theyre allowed to do whatever they want. In beacon you get harassed by the teachers because they can do whatever they want. You cannot go to the principal about anything, because if it has to do with a student, they just dont care, and if its to do with a teacher they defend the teachers. You cannot bring it to the super intendant because he defends the principals, or if its about a student hell tell you to talk to the principal, even if you already did. You cannot escape getting in trouble at these schools, even if you did nothing wrong. This school is worse than the Woonsocket high school, which by the way, is horrible. I guarantee you wont get a good review from an actual student from this school.

I was part of the first graducating class and was very sad to leave it. The teachers leave am impression on their students that has yet to go away even after seven years. The classrooms are a little more relaxed than the norm but it made learning more fun, making the students actually want to learn and participate. They don't make you feel like you're just another number or face in the crowd, like the other two high schools I attented. If your student is interested in arts of any sort, this is the ideal place of education for them.
