Milestones Charter School

This school is great. My child has had a wonderful experience and his AIMS tests scores prove that he is getting an excellent education. Administration and staff are always helpful and they know my child. I know this school is responsive to bullies and any issues are dealt with appropriately.

I love this School my son's teacher is great. The class sizes are small so the teacher has more one on one time with the kids. Remember we as parents still need to work with our kids. It is not all the teachers responsiblty, If any thing we need to teach our kids more manners.

This school is horrible! They lack basis nessesities like a library and computer lab. The principal has a BAD attitude problem and lacks proper communication when it comes to discussing issues with anything. My child cried every day when it was time to go to school. I pulled her out and now my child attends a nearby public school and if growing by leaps and bounds emotionally and academically. I would never reccomend this place to anyone!

The school isnt doing much for the kids at all. There is no teacher cooperation with parents. There us not much extra curricular activities for the kids. They are way behind in therir accademics. I wouldnt suggest tis school for kids from grade 1 onwards.

I came to Milestones after teaching in a public school for several years. I needed to find a way out of letting politics run my school and get to a place where I have the freedom to teach the way students really learn. I have found that in this school. I love the entire staff and most of all I love that we are growing leaders in our students. WE as teachers are free to make choices about a child's education and do what is appropriate for each child to learn. As much as one-size fits all education is convenient to fund and easy to train teachers on, it does not benefit the children that need so much more academically. Both to catch them up or equally importantly to advance the children further than expected. At Milestones, I believe we are able to provide a different learning experience for each child and the kids thrive on that. I love teaching here and will never go back to district education again.

Milestones Charter School is both good and bad like all schools. The success of your child does not fall on the shoulders of the staff at the school but yours as a parent. It is your responsibility to work closely with your childs teachers to assure positive growth. A lack of computers and library books does not make the school unsuccessful, most children have access to computers at home and there are public libraries where you have thousands of books to choose from. I found as a parent I simply had to ask and my child received more challenging work, also as a parent when he was slacking I pushed him to do better. The staff has always been polite and courteous however the dress attire puzzled me the children had a dress code, why didn't the staff,? I agree that the play area is in desperate need of work my suggestion is to take the $$ for Jean money and hire a professional ladscaper next year. My oldest son fell behind in public school and caught back up at Milestones he entered high school ready and confident. My youngest son will start middle school in an advance placement program at our local public school. My children excelled yours can too get involved.

My child went to this school because the principal made it sound wonderful!!! Well it was just the opposite, she was bullied all the time!! The teachers didnt take care of it or anything! So the last week of school I pulled her out and when she went back on the last day to get her things the assistant principal/masth teacher got up in her face, and the 7 grade teacher acused her of lying!!! Never again will I refer it to anyone!!!!!

This school has a lot going for it and is a better choice than most public schools. However, it tolerates verbal harassment and abuse and has therfore created a very unkind undercurrent of this behavior that runs rampant in the school.Despite the great reviews (sometimes submitted by the administration pretending to be parents) it is not a school for excelling students. They will tell you each child works at his/her own level, but in reality they all have the same work and the same deadlines and they are geared very much towards the lower standards. It is well suited to children who are a bit slower/behind then those at grade level or ahead. Parents are not welcome at the school.
