Community Roots Charter School

My school is amazing the teachers are nice to you, the way they teach you is friendly and not pushy. you call teachers by their 1st names which gives you a strong connection with the teacher, and i make a lot of new friends because of the diversity of the people.

Simply put, Community Roots is an awesome school! When you go on a tour, you want to immediately enroll your child. The high quality of care and concern for each student is unbelievable. The teachers and staff work hard all day, everyday. The school's leadership is strong and progressively makes sure that your child is given the best opportunity while learning and performing at his/her best each day and enjoying school in the process. At the end of the school day, your child doesn't even want to leave. The afterschool program only adds to the dynamics of the school. As a parent you will notice, that your child is truly happy and looks forward to going to school. All the children are like sisters and brothers. CRCS is a real family. The best interset of each individual child is the heart of the matter. If your child attends CRCS, you're very fortunate.

Community Roots inspires Teachers, Staff, Students and Parents alike. The leadership invites everyone to come together and share their ideas and energy to provide our kids with all the support they need to succeed. The expectations are high for our children, both academically and emotionally/socially and with the tremendous support network they have created helps them to meet those expectations and beyond.

They have caring teachers and staff that not only make sure that your children are getting a great education, but are also helping parents to develop well rounded individuals that will use the schools "core values" for the rest of their lives. Many thanks to Alli & Sara the schools co-directors; and to all the teachers and staff for all that you do everyday for all of the children.

It's a small school where everyone looks out for each other and instills strong core values: Try new things, work together, honor yourself and others, be reflective, help each other.

This is an excellent small school with two fantastic teachers per class, lively classrooms, a wonderful integrated studies program. There are fulltime music, art and science teachers. Parent involvement is encouraged and staff and the principals are often walking down the hallways checking in with parents, teachers and kids instead of sitting behind their desks. It's a vibrant, rich learning environment and an excellent school!

Because they can reach each of my 3 kids with their varying abilities & needs. Because they make parents eager to be involved. Just a fabulous place with a progressive, inclusive approach.

My son started at CRCS since it's opening. I have found most of the teaachers to be very smart, kind,passionate people. I believe my son has grown as a reader, writer, mathmatician, and scientist. The teachers and admnistration are always accesible. They listen to parents and they care not only about academics but my son's social and emotional growth. I especially love Rebecca and Sabha ( Kindergarten) Brandy and Lori (first grade) and Todd and Michelle ( third grade). Community Roots is a great school!

Community Roots is pretty amazing. My child is now in the third grade. She likes her teachers. She feels respected, she feels that her opinion matters, she feels that she has learned different strategies to learn and the way she learns matters to her teachers. she can speak to both Alli and Sara the principals . She has grown as a reader, a critical thinker. She's made great friendships. The teachers focus on academics but take great care and time teaching great social interaction skills. She still talks about her two kindergarden teachers Sahba and Rebecca. They were just great. The principals are great. Community Roots should win this $20,000 , it is wanted, it is needed, it will be well deserved and be guaranteed it will be put to good use.
