Community Charter School
russell bell: I think the school has tremendous potential for success. However, the school's staff and administration doesn't reflect a cultural presence for the children to identify with. There's a cultural disconnection between students and teachers. Hopefully, the administration will make the appropriate adjustments to achieve academic success. In essences creating a new "positive culture for learning."
