Harriet Tubman Charter School

I strongly believe this is one of the finest schools in the bronx. My child has been going to this school for the last 5 years, I'm impress with the attention that most of the teacher give the students. The principal Mr. Person moves around the school striving for excellent from his staff & his students.

I think harriet tubman has some of the best teachers around. The only problem i have with this school is the apparent favortism the principal of the school has toward some of the staff. If a staff member is breaking the rules they should be reprimanded. Not a slap on the wrist with that in mind how safe are our children. Best wishes to the security that left you are a nice person.

I love this school. But some of the staff members are disrespectful. There's one security gaurd, that i really like, because he's caring with all the kids. & with my daughter enrolled in HTCS i like that. I just dont know his name. Whats the name of the security gaurd with the tattoos on his hands?

Harriet Tubman is a great school, my child have enough home work to keep them out of trouble at home and get me as a parent involved. the school is organised and the principal is involved in every aspect of the school

This school is a disgrace. The principal lacks the professionalism to lead this school as it should be! He walks around with a blue tooth in his ear all day. Our presidents doesn't even do this! There are no adequate tutorial programs or extracurriculum activities for our children. Also, there is a revolving door in regards to teachers. Parents, staff and adminstrators are not working together for a common cause which is to proved an effective educational environment for our children. I am in the process of looking forward to removing my children from this school!!!! I am very involved however its just not working. This definitely a school in need of improvement real fast!!!!!

This school is an disgrace to Harriet Tubman's name, legacy and most all our children's futures. I am an old parent of this school (2002), my 2 children attend this school and this will be their last year here due to the current administration they have in place at this school.

My child attended H.T.C.S. for the past 8 years, she grad. this year June of 2009. She was excepted to one of the top high schools here in the city. Clearly somebody has been doing their job. One thing we have to remember about our children, is that it all start's from home. It's the teacher's who need to make sure that our children are progressing properly. I can say that it was a great experience at H.T.C.S. But on the other hand it's also been a rollercoaster for many other's. So i can understand why so many parent's feel the way they do. Maybe more parent's should be more involved in the school. From my experience there it has'nt been many. Just a handful. But i'm glad it's all over. It's time to move forward to a brighter future. I love all the H.T.C.S. staff from the past!

I have had it with this school. Ok so they put up some college banners and signs. So what? This school will higher ANYONE to teach. It seems they are looking for people to fill up a room rather than EDUCATE. The quality of teachiing in the school is terrible. The administration is week besides the principal. The vice principal is very strange in his demenor and the other, she is just flat out lost. When did education become so unimportant. The kids are out of control, the school enviroment is not safe. I asked how many teachers have advanced degrees two months ago and still don't have an answer. Our kids are not learning at this school. I have decided to take my kids out before it is to late. My kid doesn't like school anymore and I blame Harriet Tubman.
