Paragon Academy Of Technology Reviews

My son was attending DATA Charter school that was closed down about 9 weeks into the school year.  Many of the students that attended DATA took public transportation to get to DATA.  Bussing to the new school was offered but no consideration was made by the bus company or Paragon in regards to needs of the students and the schedule.  Many, many times students were left behind because the public bus they had to take to get to DATA was late.  Requests were made by many parents to change the schedule by 5 minutes (still leaving plenty of time to get the kids to Hollywood from Downtown) and the answer was always NO. If the children were not at the school at 7:05 then too bad.  The principal refused to offer any assistance and I was told the bus company makes the schedule- period.  12, 13 or 14 year old children should not be left behind in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale to fend for themselves, miss school and get back home on their own because the bus couldn't wait.  
 
Additionally, I was not thrilled with communication of the teaching staff. Parents are only directed to the Teacherease website but the teachers don't put in many notes.  If your child is struggling then attempting to get resources is like pulling teeth.  Overall, this school seems lacking.  I was very disappointed.

It's an okay school but needs to be worked on a little. The teachers are good especially the social studies teacher. It's a school that really cares for students you'll love the assistant prinicpal.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
