Kissimmee Charter Academy

Im a Student at KCA , and this is my second year here , and , I Absolutly HATE it here ! We have no freedom whatsoever. Yes , its ' uniform ' school , not the military. Some of the rules are becoming outrageous. I can't wait to get out of here , there just losing more students each year. My word is too focus more on the education instead of the apperance of the school.

Let me start by saying that I am also not a fan of the principal however, I think parents and students should focus more on quality of education and overall performance of this school compared to other schools. Parents/Students are upset about dress codes and new policies. I think that kids need to LEARN to follow rules and dress properly. Theres alot of kids out in malls and such that dress and behave inappropriately, so I think at least in school theres rules and policies to follow to train kids to be obedient. For parents that take their kids out of school because their favorite teachers left or some other insignificant reasons, youre actually teaching your kids to be a quitter. As long as theyre learning well, our kids should learn to face the music, deal with the changes and voice out any concerns pertinent to learning and character building. On the weekend and after school go ahead wear your two toned-bedazzled-funky jeans but in school its not gonna kill you nor your artistic sense to follow the dress code.

I in the 7th grade. I always loved my principals. Our principal now is rotten. We wear uniforms to school except 1 day a month we can wear dress down street clothes, sort of. It used to be for dress down we could wear normal clothes. We pay $1.00 that is used for extra school stuff. A year ago the principal said we had to wear uniform shirts with jeans, but we still had to pay $1.00. Yesterday dressed as Mrs. Claus she went into every class & stood kids in front of the room & picked on them if they wore dress down. She would make you turn around to see the back of your jeans in front of everyone & say those jeans aren't plain enough. She picked on kids if the stitching in the jeans were a different color or they had a little design style. She embarrassed us in front of the class & our teachers. After she left the room a teacher apologized to us for the principals meanness. She is a bad principal that hates kids. This school is great, teachers really care. We don't have bullies here, we are (almost) all friends with the kids here.

im a middle school student at this school and today she (Mrs.mcCarley) went class to class and she said we can't wear certain jeans she made us go u in front of the whole class and pointed us out she is the worst principle ever she told us we could wear Christmas shirts and my friend was wearing a twisted Christmas shirt! and she made her go up to the front of the class and said she couldn't wear it because it wasn't Christmas! she is ridiculous i can't wait till i leave

As long as Mrs. Mc Carley is at this school it can not be the nice school that it once was. She is rude, unprofressional and just plain ignorant. I had my children in that school since kindergarten and pulled them out in the beginning of this school year. I was nervous about my decision and now we arealmost hallf way through the school year and I think I made the BEST decision EVER!!! GET THAT WOMAN OUT OF THAT SCHOOL!!!!

My kids attend KCA. I love the general staff, BUT the principal is horrible. She treats the kids, the parents, and her own staff extremely bad. Its extremely sad, because the school had great scores and a great reputation before this principal had arrived. Now I realize I made a horrible choice selecting this school for my kids. I hope this helps you the reader to not make the same mistake I made.

Worst school ever. No wonder why most of the good teachers left KCA and found better teaching positions at other schools. The new principal, now here for 2 years, is bringing this school down just like she did at her last school. The vice principal even left to go to a new school!! This used to be a wonderful school. I will NOT be enrolling my children here ever again. DO NOT enroll your child here! You will regret it!
