Chandler Park Academy - Elementary

My children have attented CPA for several years now. We have had nothing but pleasant experiences. They are both honor roll students and the teachers are very committed to giving your child a well rounded educational experience. They most encourage parent involvement and truly live up to the statement that it takes a village to raise a child. The extra curricular activites are outstanding with award winning sports team as well as an oustanding drama department. I would recommend this school for anyone who seriously wants there child to have a successful school life.

So far, I have found the staff to be pleasant and very helpful. My son is in the kindergarten and loves to go to school. What I can say is that this is your child and you (the parent) will get out of the school as much as you put into your child. This being said...it can be perceived as a school not caring, but I don't see that. It is just a school that expects the parent(s) to be involved. I am a single parent and I do expect the best for my child. But in order to get the best you must put in the best. So far because I'm giving excellent involvement I'm receiving an excellent experience from the school. So before giving the school a bad grade think about your commitment to the success of your child(ren) and how much you are involved.

The teachers are great my son been attending CPA elementary for 4 years now and I'm pleased with his grades. 4.0 gpa. The school is have a great curriculum, sports activties and is clean. I have seen a change and the school and that's not for the better as of .... The things I don't like is the staff and the office they are so unpleasant and disrespectful, rude to the parents and don't show No concerns. They don't like to solve things it's like they just brush you off. They don't have no remorse and unconsidered to the parents at times. In the parking lot is still a big mess after school mainly haven't been address yet. The security guards just sit and there cars what's the point! I don't think I could do another year and putting up with this it's stressful on the parents. The parents suppose to feel at ease where the child goes to school. If they could fix those things that I mention then the school would be excellent.

I believe this to be a very good school. Far better than any other school my daughter has attended. She was a DPS student from pre-k to 5th grade and remained on the honor roll until she moved to 4th grade. We moved her to CPA and she began to excel again. She loves the teachers. She says the teachers are so committed to making sure the students learn. They also have no problem spending extra time assisting students when they are having a hard time understanding assignments. My daughter is now on the National Junior Honor Society and her g.p.a has not dropped below a 3.6. She struggled in math and now when she brings her homework home, she truly understands what she is doing. I love this school.

I'm not impressed ! I feel suspending 3rd graders and having kids clean and wipe floor as a discipline is ridiculous! The upper administration is in denial about the staffs procedures and trying to get assistance is a wild goose chase! Our child will be leaving also! The teacher sent a letter hoe stating she was 'frustrated.'

My child has attended this school for four years and I must say that i am very pleased with this school. My daughter went to Europe and the Junior olympics with this school. Many parents have complaints but do very litle when it comes to getting involved and thats the key to doing it yourself. Chandler Park Academy have made some poor choices when it came to letting go staff members but I do believe that they are making wonderful progress!

When CPA first opened on Kelly, I was very pleased. Even after they expanded to 2 buildings,I was still satisfied. My son had some excellent teachers. He has learned alot and the work was very challenging. This year I transfered him because in my opinion they are starting to let some good teachers and support staff get away. I noticed his work wasn't challenging enough in his new grade. I don't know if its because of the expansion, but the philosophy of the school seems to be changing. Some of the organization problems are continuing on from earlier years. You expect a few bugs when a school first opens, but some things aren't getting solved. I think they need to get back to the reasons the school was started and they should keep a staff that supports that.
