Stargate Charter School

My child Loves all of the opportunities he has. The 3rd and 4th graders learned about Economics and not only was this amazing project fun and engaging but the Parents were invited to come in and Shop the products the students created. My high school student did not learn this much about economics! The Staff, Administration and School Is amazing! They still have athletics for 6th-8th and the Community events are So Much Fun!!! I just wish there was a school like this when I was a kid!

Duped! I made the mistake of transferring my son in 6th grade (this year) to Stargate. I thought Stargate would be be so much better than the Academy of Charter Schools. I was wrong. My son was in the GT program at the Academy. In 3rd grade he was placed in a 5th grade math class. Last year in 5th grade he actually completed Algebra 1 at the Academy. We decided to move him to Stargate thinking it would be a better fit. We were told during the orientation that they offer higher level math and kids were taking above grade level courses. This does not seem to be true. Stargate does not teach to the child's needs only to their curriculim. My son is now taking pre-algebra because they can't/ won't move him to the middle school for math. He is bored to death. They act like he's the first kid there who can perform above grade level and this is a gifted school where you need a high IQ to attend. They say they are now working on fixing this. It's ridiculous. We are now looking to move our son back to the Academy for 7th grade. He lost a whole year of math knowledge at Stargate. If your child starts out at Stargate you won't truly know what they're capable of.

I LOVE this school! This was the best decision my husband and I could have made for our children's education!

I love my school! :) The teachers are friendly and understanding. They try to teach in the most fun way possible, whether it's going outside to do some chalk drawings or to watch some movies and take notes. I also love how it has a Band/Orchestra program, and that you can enroll in the program at 5th grade. All the teachers are totally dedicated and awesome. Stargate's an awesome school.

I love that Stargate has such a community of parents and kids. Everyone works so hard to give our kids the best and our Teachers do an amazing job. I always feel my son is being challenged to meet his true potential.

My son is physically challenged. At his last school, the teachers let him get away with doing practically nothing. I have to presume it was easier to just let him slide than to give him the effort he really needed to be successful. Since the first day he went to Stargate he has been encouraged to do his best. He was behind his classmates in nearly every category, and was several levels behind in reading. No one there has ever given up on him. He does the same work as any other kid in his class and has very good grades. I have to think that if we had left him in the other school they would have made him 'disabled' by not expecting him to compete with his peers. Moving my son to Stargate was one of the best decisions we ever made!

Why do you love Stargate Charter School? Stargate Charter School is truely a unique school in that it serves the gifted and talented children in our community. The majority of the schools in our district are focused on the large population of children that are ESL or ELL and the children that are below grade level. Stargate is also made up of a staff that genuinely cares about the students and their parents. There really should be more schools like Stargate!

Love the teachers and their emphasis on a balanced education - school can be fun too and not just rigor and work.
