Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School

In an age where school unions hidder the advancement and quality of education in regular public schools, Abbey Kelly Foster Charter, or any charter school is a wonderful choice. My three sons have gone to Abbey Kelly since Kindergarden and because charter schools can tailor their programs based on the childs needs, all three are advanced for their grade level. Until unions are eliminated from the public school system there really is no other choice if you want a quality education for your children. Having attended a union public school growing up I am relieved that I don't have to subject my children to the same inadequacies i recieved.

For now, it is a young school(13 years) but I am sure that it will grow to become a greater one. It's not easy containing grades K-12 and I think that's something people don't take into consideration. This school might not be a Thomas Jefferson or a Stuyvesant type of school but by seeing the advancements that this school has made in only 12 years, I believe that it's on it's way to becoming a much more dominant school. For this school has made very quick changes.

To me, this is a school that is making great progress. I have been to Abby Kelley since grade four; and it has added more extracurricular activities, built a separate high school, and has added the IB program. I am in ninth grade now, and I realize that this school is not amongst the top schools in the country, or the nation; but I also believe that it will get there. My only advice is that this school needs to dismiss students earlier, so that they may have time to focus on school work, get involved with extracurricular activities, and other personal activities. For I know that the dismissal time prohibits some of my progress as a student.

I am very sorry about that, I ment I realize that might not be one of the best in the country or state.

Over the years the staff have strived to make AKF a better learning facility. All things do not work for all children. The teachers at AKF try to find what works for each child and then lets them learn at their own ability level. I have seen it work well for my children, one of them that has special needs, and those needs have always been met. I have 2 children at AKF and my oldest is going into 5th grade and has gone to this school since he was in Kindergarten. The sports program has since improved with the addition of the ball fields. I only have good things to say regarding this school.

I see wonderful teachers who are overworked. No 'official' breaks and eating lunch in the classroom with students? Teachers don't complain, but if you're in the school enough, you see what goes on. Get involved! Ask questions. Good school but could be better.
