Community School of Excellence

Glad to see I am not the only disappointed one. Low expectations, lack of leadership, lack of diversity. My kids were never challenged. I wouldn't recommend this school at all.

This school has a lot of Open House events, I visited the school once because my sister asked my opinion about the school. She would love her kids to learn Hmong. When looking at the school report card and their MCA scores, I wasn't suprised by the low scores. Low scores = Low expectations. I also asked a few questions to the students, it seems that there is a big staff turnover in that school; I have no idea what is going on, but I told my sister that this is a categorical NO! Also, what kind of school is it? Read that student's comment posted March 14, 2011, they are working hard on after school activities but not on intellectual development, if I read well. This is so wrong. Result, I told my sister that if she doesn't want her kids to fall behind she shouldn't even consider sending them to that school. I still hope to find a Hmong charter school that will help my nieces thrive intellectually and culturally. It is really sad that my sister and I couldn't find one.

I go to this school and i personaly really like it, the only thing that i dislike is that the EDUCATION is not as good as i thought it would be. Im just a 7th Grader, but I feel like the teachers dont motivate us as much. Honestly i wish they did a little more discipline . I mean i think they can do A LOT BETTER . And what i mean is for how some are teaching. I dont feel into the teaching, but i understand after she/he explains a second time. At my other schools i always wanted to be the smarter one and help the ones who didnt get it, but now im one of the ones who doesnt understand . I'd say kids need a lot more motavation from teachers and parents. They need to see the bigger picture. But I still give the school two thumbs up for the after school activities and other things .

excellent school w/wonderful staffs and great programs to help enhance students who needs to improve on reading, writing, speech, socializing, and very friendly environment.

As a parent, I visit the school and it was terrible. The administration was very disorganize and it seem that the principal don t know what she was doing. Starting from the top of the administration to its staff, they all weren t as professional as I thought they would be. When I visit the school for my child, the principal and some of its staff was in their sweatpants and sleeping wear. Also, when my sister, who has a child that goes there, ask if she can look into his file, it seems that records of all the student has nothing or only some of the paper on the students. The file of the students weren t as complete like other public school, where they can pull information of a child and get his educational history. Furthermore, I think this school is very disorganize and unsupportive for any students that goes there.
