If it isn't the fraudulent former CEO it's the incappable new Pakistani Board Members. This is a SHAME and a SCAM of a school. Even the IS program has been failing for years and Maram and Mehdi have been miliking the IS funds to pay for the Islamic Facist Site Programs. Stop ruinining children's lives - send your child to a real school.

Whatever happen in the higher level has got nothing to do with the quality of education and teachers. For those whom complain too much, I say, why don't you try and live in a different country; Afghan, Pakistan, Ethiopia etc and see what is their school like and what type of education will your children get! The parents involvement are more into the mess of "What is happening" to the CEO/owner/ whoever rather than what is going on in the classroom and how can we make it better. My 2 children attended that school and they are very happy. Happy with their friends, teachers and environment. I enjoy learning as they bring home their schoolwork. Their teachers are great; Mr Tang, Ms Austin, Mrs Norlander are the best! They make a lot of difference to learning. Diversity in that school is phenomena nothing I 've seen anywhere else. Now, we are living outside of the states and I wish they have a school just like that here!

This school has 13 cited violations from ACOE. It's charter is being threatened to shut down. If your thinking about putting your child here, you should have a back up plan.

I love this school. The teachers and staff are so kind and caring, and it feels like an extended family. The school is very unique and diverse. Children enjoy learning their native language, and seeing people from many cultures. This school really celebrates diversity. It is a very safe environment and a great alternative to have!

I transferred out of this school because we thought it would be better. But it turns out that it wasnt. In fame the teachers actually care for you and teach you until you understand it. Rather in public schools they just put the problems up and expect you to do it without even teaching. Which makes the student not care, and it causes the class to get loud. but in fame the teachers MAKE sure the classroom is quiet when its time to do the work. and its has an A+ SAFE ENVIOREMENT im telling you guys!....FAME WAS MY SECOND HOME... There is no drugs, pure pressure, gangs,weapons, back stabers, fights, and dating. Everyone in this school is more than a big family raher than a bunch of student. Everyone looks out and cares for one other. I now go to Kennedy High School and I regret every day.

I am a proud parent of Fame and feel very happy and safe about sending my child. There are always if's and but's everywhere in the world no one is perfect, but as far as the safety is concern this is the place for kids FAME.
