Minneapolis Academy Charter School

I am so dissatisfied with all the teachers and the Principal at this school. The way they talk to the children and the way they treat them is appalling. They call the children idiots and tell them they are never going to make it in high school is not something an adult should ever say to a child. I would advise that no parent should ever send their children to this school. The teachers and Principal of this school are nothing but adult bullies in my opinion. The children at this school can not even stand up for themselves against the teachers to voice their opinions on certain issues without getting into trouble. I think all children deserve to be heard no matter what!!

If you have a child with special needs this is probably not the best place. The material taught is great but how the teachers talk to the kids is appalling. It is never okay to call any child a failure especially in front of everyone. As I have learned in the past you always have to make sure the IEP is being implemented, but here it became my lifes work. A teacer admitted that they didn't see why my child should be allowed to retake tests and have an unfair advantage over the others even if it is in the IEP. Is Autism really an advantage over the others I had to ask. The whole idea in retaking the test is to review the material to see if the student has grasped the concept so they can move on, so I thought. I am sure that the school is not truly equipped to for even high functioning Autism. Screaming at Autistic kids will shut them down everytime!

Greatest school ever! The leadership is truly an inspiration for all, and the teaching staff has no peers. In addition the chief abminisrative officer is one of a kind!

I am a retired M.A. teacher. This is the school that I would send my children to if we lived closer to the area. Dedicated teachers and staff- classical 'core knowledge' education with a strong emphasis on learning how to be a successful and contributing member of society.
