Today's Fresh Start Charter School Inglewood

My daughter has attended TFSCS since its inception. Although I have been very pleased with her education, My concern is the school currently doesnt have security all day and I need that in a school. It would also be nice to have a Nurse or Nurse assistant or an EMT on staff to help with the posibility of injuries to the kids. I would like more diversity as well at the teaching and admin. levels. but again, I love the small classes and the current teachers seem very good. Admin. is also very quick to discuss concerns of parents and I do see results.

I love this school. My daughters attend TFSCS and I have been very impressed since they started. The classrooms are small and the children are receiving the best education. Learning and teaching starts at home. I have expectations for my daughters and I do my part as the parent to make sure they are getting the education they deserve. So I have been very satisfied so far. This year the administration has changed tremendously, so I don't know what it will become. But my daughters will be there to find out...and so will I.

I am very unhappy with this school. They are very unorganized, so unorganized that they can't keep track of important documents.There is almost not communication between the principal and it's staff. The principal is very unprofessional and does not find the satifation of the parents a priority. There are no resources available. No tutoring, no activities, no nurse. Teachers are instructed to "teach to the test" - there are no projects or other fun ways of learning. Every activity presented to the children is in prepartion for another test. There are mock test, pre-test, weekly test, quarterly test, and the list goes on and on. The teachers are very nice but they dont seem to have much freedom to really teach in their own creative ways.

My child attends this school, since it opened. Although the class size is relatively small, I dont agree that my child is getting quality education. Not one that is giving the solid foundation that is needed to move to the next level. Also some of the traditional school staples are not available, no school nurse, only 2 bathrooms (one boy and one girl) no contigencies for hot days with rolling black outs. Kids must be picked up when they call you. No sufficient supervision during play times. Amoung other things
