The school's fame its not so great, but this year everything has improved. There is a new management team and the difference is very well visible. My kids are top students there and I am glad I kept them there this year, giving this new principal the opportunity has been a good decision. The communication with the teachers is awesome, new sports, electives and clubs are already in effect. I am positive that the school will now take a 100 degree turn for the better of its students.

You always have high hopes for charter schools but some just don't seem to make the cut. Take Excelsior, for instance. The one positive is the quality of teachers overall, but all the negatives almost seem to trump that. They are as follows: Lack of security (8th graders bullying 3rd graders in the bathrooms because they share the same one or middle schoolers making out in the stairwell by the elementary classes, which my daughter has witnessed), lack of professionalism in the office by some office staff, a cafeteria lady that gives out silent lunches for loud talking nearly every day according to my daughter, and canceled Spanish. Yet it's a language schoo! Also, the principal didn't seem to have much discipline in place for the middle schoolers because I'd see them in the front office just hanging out. Unless that's an elective, I don't know what they are doing there. Needless to say, my child will not be back this year although there's a new principal. For those that are still there, I do hope it's a better school year.

WE GET HANDLE A TITLE ONE HANDBOOK IN THE BEGINNING OF SCHOOLS WHERE IT SAYS THAT PARENTS S/B ALLOW TO SEE TEACHER 30 MINUTES PRIOR AND AFTER SCHOOL IF WE HAVE CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS . BUT THEM IF YOU TRY TO SEE A TEACHER YOU ARE NOT ALLOW TO GO INSIDE THE SCHOOL THEY KEEP A CLOSE DOOR JAIL REGIMENT FOR PARENTS WHAT ARE THEY HIDING ? THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW BAD THEY TEACH AND HOW KIDS RUN IN STAIRS AND BATHROOM WITH NO SUPERVISION. US PARENTS KNOW BEST ABOUT WHAT OUR KIDS NEEDS ARE. SO WHY ARE YOU DENYING PARENT COOPERATION ACCESS. CAN ANYONE ANSWER

It's been two years and i truly thought that in it's second year it would be a lot better. Education is very low especially in the middle school. My child in middle school did not have any homework, computer class was taught by a non-licensed employee, etc. No clubs, no sports, no electives, no nothing.. It really needs a whole lot of improvement.

I agree with the july20 and june 16 parents totally what a mess. This year they have a new principal but i feel bad for her she has a lot of big changes to do improve. drop off and pick up is a nightmare and parents cannot talk to teachers unless they request a conference you are not allow inside the school no even to make a homework question? ridiculous

Well, it's not that bad to be the first year in operation. The principal has great ideas and has all the excitement to make them work. Let's give them a chance to prove themselves. I am very happy and I am willing to help them succeed even more. Try it, enroll your child and you'll see.

This school has teachers and staff that take the time to answer any parents concern about their childs education and behavior.
