I hate how some people on here are complaning about too much fights .They obveousley haven't been to a real public school where every is for there self. If you dont like the school, leave. Stop complaning and crying about it. Go to a "real" public school and let your kids pick up all that trash.This is the best school i ever went to. And if your a parent ,listening to your kids think again more than half the time your kid feed you trash. I can say this cause i did the same thing in 6th grade. There are always going to be bad kids in elementary,middle and high school. Just ignore them. And about the teachers, they are amazing they accually care about the kids. But only if you respect them period. If you argue with them and trash them how are they supposed to respect you back.

I transferred my children from a private school to Global Outreach Charter Academy, and so far I have been very pleased with the teachers and faculty of this school. Teachers seem very sincere and devoted, they go above and beyond to address all of my concerns. The principal has always been helpful and available. I also like the size of the school, it gives it a cozy and secure feel.

This is a great school. I love how much of a great start my Kindergartner has had in his first year in grade school. The teachers and staff are also very friendly and treat my son as if he were a super star. I was skeptical at first, because my husband and I wanted to send our child to a school where there was not a dominate race but of a mixture of colors and cultures, and my first reaction of the brochure made me not so sure if this was the school for him, because my child does not look like the children in the brochure i was afraid to check it out at first. I took some time off one day and met with the principal at the time which was from fletcher. while waiting to speak with him i noticed all the different children from all over and all family back grounds and i felt more at ease and from the results of enrolling my child and his wonderful growth (an honor roll student in a very secure buzz in and out school), I know that i made a great choice in schools

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!! My child is always excited to go to school and I love the extracurricular activities offered before and after school. They welcome parent involvement which is something I appreciate.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
