Learn Elementary Charter School
my child attends learn excel. the new administration is not family oriented . They all but forbid parent/teacher interaction. Parents are not allowed in the class before school. They dismiss the kids a block away from the school. Parents are not allowed on field trips this year either. I hate the way they treat me as a parent and I have no way to complain. Administration says that if i don't like it we can leave

Learn Elementary Charter School
This school is so political. I was just informed about a week before the graduation that the school will announce the valedictorian/salutatorian students on the day of the graduation. GO FIGURE! I thought valedictorian was suppose to be the highest ranking student and the salutatorian the second highest, but learn charter 1132 s homan isn't using this criterior. They have created their own which leads to foul play. I smell something distasteful.

Learn Elementary Charter School
Dont be fooled by how nice the school look, the school is under staff and dis organized, the kids is rowdy, you have to pay 300 each child which they dont tell u until after your kids be picked in the lottery, you have to spend at least 200 dollars on each child school supplies which they have to share with the whole class, the breakfast and lunch they serve these kids is a joke, when you go pick the kids up its in a big gym room and its very loud and noisey, you will get stemeped by people coming or going. If you are a new parent knowing nothing about the school, they tell you 2 days before school start what uniforms the kids need and where you have to pick them up. this is the worst charter, grammar school what have you that I ever ran across
