The school administration does not care about parents' ideas or concerns. This past school year, the two second grade classes were merged into one (about 27 students). Also, the two third grade classes were merged into one (about 29 students). The merging of classes was done without informing parents of the change. This is only a small example of the many changes that the school administration implements without informing parents. This school truly has a take-it or leave-it mentality.
The school is pretty good and all, it has good academics and great P.E. and art programs, but the music programs don't allow children to show their acting ability, just singing. Also, many awards (especially Scholarships) are given out based on favoritism, which is how the school is based. But, this school has good teachers and a great academic program!
Teachers either didn't teach or just gave the students recess. Come test day, all the students failed and the teachers would yell at us as to how we could have failed when the teacher 'spent so much time teaching' us. The management was quite rood, and students whose parents complained were treated harshly (grades lowered for no reason, etc.). Bias is very blatant, and socially the students are horrible. Students put down each other based on 'popularity' and even the teachers seem to play along. Overall it is a total waste of money. I came into high school completely unprepared.
My sons have been going here for several years. i believe that they have both benefitted tremendously from their exprience at Challenger. Sure, the school has high expectations, but why waste time at a school that does not? I wanted my children to be prepared for the world out there, and the school has definitely met that expectation. The children are confident and enjoy their work, their teachers are great, and they have had fun while learning.
