Trenton Community Charter School

Being apart of this school has taught me so many things. I would like to thank the Principal (especially), Business Administrator, Supervisor of Curriculum (formerly the Institutional advancement officer), vice principals and the chairman of the board for your dedication in showing me how to effectively listen to the concerns of community and teachers. Your inability and constant demonstration to exhibit inner personal skills and the above listed skills has strengthened mine as a leader of my own building currently. THANK YOU!!! There was a possibility of the school remaining open. However, "To whom much is given; much is require"...quoted to Principal Pemberton and the TCCS Board on April 19, 2011. You have to be very careful how you treat people and pass judgement. There comes a time in everyone's life that they will have to reap what they have sown! The school closing is a direct result of the same type of judgement you have passed on others. Finally, I would be remissed if I didn't say, "What's done in darkness will come to light." All in due time...

This school is a joke. Your children will learn more from watching Scooby Doo. That is pretty much how the school is ran. The principals are cartoon characters. Absolutely pathetic!

This has got to be the WORST school in NJ. The leadership is incompetent and pathetic, the staff is miserable and the turnover is HIGH. Teachers are leaving left and right, substitutes stay for 1 day and then never come back. Its common knowlede that the school is failing. It was bad before but who knew it could go from bad to worse with the new leadership.

I highly recommend this school. The teachers make learning fun if,they see that your child needs extra help in a subject they will work one on one with your child, not only will they work with your child the school provides tutoring on Saturdays.

I would recommend the school. I've seen positive changes in my children every since that started at the beginning of the year. Yes, there are changes to be made, but it takes time and effort from both the parents and the teachers. I also think that there is a lack of extra curricular activities, and a lack of personnel authority. The school is a fine school, but it could be a little better.

I would not reccomend this school. It lacks proper authority leadership and the athority figures are worse than the students at times. The school suspension rate is out of control the athority figures dont handle situations properly.

I would recommend this school. It challenges the students to do better. TCCS also teaches its students to learn to be responsible individuals that help out their teachers, parents and the community.

I would not reccommend this school, if it were solely based on pricilple leadership. Academically, the school is progressing quite well. The lower school need better authority figues as role models.
