I have known this school for six years, and I don’t recommend this school for anyone. They suspend and call parents for the smallest reasons, and it is ridiculous. Every time I walk in the school, the kids are yelling and out of control. My daughter keeps telling me that she hates the school and barely gets an education. There is multiple times when they did not have enough money to pay the substitutes. The moral of the story I do not recommend this school.

This school covers up everything the adults do. They call about your children constantly and suspend them for the smallest things. The adults get NO accountability, this is exactly why they were on the news! My children have been thriving since they left! THANK GOD! You cannot hold children accountable and not adults! Be an EXAMPLE!

This school use to be good. After principal turnover it has gone down hill. There is No communication at all between staff. When issues arise nothing is done about it. This school could’ve been great but with the leadership or should I say lack of it is horrendous. Look else where.

I have had my child at this school since the doors opened six years ago . I have fought for it , defended it on social media , suggested it to tons of parents . I 100 percent regret that and with good conscience would ask that you not place your child in Green Charter unless someone takes what’s going on inside the school and actually handles it . Not one teacher meeting , lowest Map Scores EVER no conference about that . Out of control bullying . Some of the teachers are so immature and with cameras with no sound no one has to be accountable . I am so sick at myself for keeping my child in a school that she spent more days being torn down instead of lifting up . If you want to send your child to school that can’t keep teachers , does not respond with any urgency to serious complaints , no teacher meetings and you want to fight your child to go to school every morning and watch them cry when they didn’t do that any of the years before send them here . I wish the school could get a honest investigation into what is really going on but when employees are scared to speak it makes parents even more uncomfortable

Keep looking, this ain't the one. I promise you. Believe the negative reviews. This school has lost half its enrollment for a reason. I honestly cannot believe this school is allowed to still operate in its current state.
Just don't.

There is absolutely no way that these positive reviews are current or authentic parental reviews. This school honestly shouldn’t be operating at the level of dysfunction that it currently is, we all deserve so much better. My children have been through over 5 teacher turnovers in a single school year that’s not even completed yet. The level of toxicity at this school is off the charts, so I can only imagine how hard it must be for the teachers. Just don’t, I promise this is nothing but truth. Look elsewhere.

The teachers and staff know EACH student and their families. You will see the principal daily in the AM and PM car lines. The front staff are welcoming and helpful. You will LOVE this school and all of the unique qualities they provide for you and your student.

Overall great school with great teachers who go above and beyond for your children.

Posted: February 13, 2020

They don’t assign mindless busy work. It’s tailored to student strengths and weaknesses and not in an overwhelming amount.

Posted: February 13, 2020

My children’s teachers show intentionality and compassion to them. They have what I would call a holistic approach to their education.

Posted: February 13, 2020

Posted: February 13, 2020

This is evidenced by the fact that the administrators have strong relationships with the students. It’s not just about producing robots who adhere to rules; they care about the kids they’ve been entrusted with.

Posted: February 13, 2020

I’ve been so pleased with their proactive and robust approach to meeting students’ special needs.

Posted: February 13, 2020

Excellent! I’m grateful to be a part of GCS.

Posted: February 12, 2020

Children are sent home weekly with homework packets.

Posted: February 12, 2020

The teachers communicate weekly with parents.The all go above and beyond for their students.

Posted: February 12, 2020

Posted: February 12, 2020

I love the fact that you see them both daily!!!

Posted: February 12, 2020

My daughter has had a difficult time transitioning but the whole staff has been amazing.I believe she has made a complete 360 since the beginning of the year.

Posted: February 12, 2020

Posted: February 12, 2020

I would say my overall experience would be excellent!!

Posted: February 5, 2020

This school has a huge bullying problem and not only do they not deal with it, the administration are the biggest bullies of all.

Posted: February 5, 2020

The homework load is tremendous. Homework should be a review of what was taught in the classroom but they use it to introduce new concepts and expect the parents to teach at home.

Posted: February 5, 2020

The teachers do not coordinate with each other so many times several tests or projects are due on the same day.

Posted: February 5, 2020

They give lip service to it but their actions are far different. They create situations to pressure and embarrass students by inviting parents to honor awards and making it evident which children didn't get honor roll.

Posted: February 5, 2020

New principal this year and he is rule happy. He hides behind policies he creates and then takes no responsibility for them. He is punitive and a control freak. The staff morale is terrible because of the negative environment he has created.

Posted: February 5, 2020

My son had an IEP and currently has a 504. They do not follow it. He is supposed to be given notes - no notes all year.

Posted: February 5, 2020

Awful. We were so hopeful for this school but ultimately it is no different than the terrible public school we came from. They cannot attract good staff because the good ones leave. It's a very hostile environment.I guarantee you most of the positive reviews here are fake as I'm actually a parent who knows many disgruntled parents.

Posted: January 24, 2020

We have really enjoyed my daughter's teacher and assistant this year. They work so hard to make sure that she learns and we know how to support her at home.

We've been very pleased with inclusion in the classroom. My daughter respects other students that are different.

The school leaders are easy to talk to and very approachable.

Students that need extra help can get tutoring or help during the day.

Posted: January 16, 2020

My daughter is in kindergarten and has an appropriate amount of homework each day.

Posted: January 14, 2020

They love being at the school to make a difference in the students’ education.

Posted: January 14, 2020

The students are learning to accept all differences in people, cultures and beliefs. The teachers strive to build small communities in the classroom as part of the larger community of the school....thus growing the students’ abilities to positively grow in the communities outside of the school.

Posted: January 14, 2020

Administrative staff is knowledgeable in both day to day education and the overall task of running a school effectively.

Posted: January 14, 2020

All students learn in different ways.... the school is constantly looking at what will serve each student in his/her own learning needs.

Posted: January 14, 2020

Administration, teachers and staff always encourage students to open up and talk about any situations they may see, experience or have a concern about.
Bullies are not tolerated at GREEN.

Posted: January 14, 2020

I have had a great experience watching all of the growth and learning happening each and every day!

Posted: January 14, 2020

An adequate amount is given for the lessons being covered.

Posted: January 14, 2020

Teachers are concerned and interested in helping all students succeed!

Intervention and special help in offered to all.

Posted: January 14, 2020

Programs, assemblies, and awareness of the bullying problems and issues are addressed.

Posted: January 14, 2020

This is a good, small school that is striving to become better all the time!

Posted: January 14, 2020

Students are allowed time to complete and help when needed.
