Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

They teach Science but that is all. They use the math program that Fulton County tried and discarded. It works with 12-15 students but with the growth of the school it is no longer effective. They have no decent Spanish department and the Language Arts program offers very little. If your child has an IEP or a 504 you will battle with this school every day. The teachers do not understand that this is a federal mandate and not just a suggestion. They seem to have lost their original direction. If your kid makes all A's and is the perfect student then they will be fine.
