Howard Street Charter School
Keep in mind when looking at the teacher experience, this schools only been open for a little while. This is it's 12th year. I attended for over 1 year and 1/2 and had an amazing time. The teachers love to teach and the programs offered are the best you could ever wish for you student. The teachers really hear you out and it's such a small school, that the teachers really learn to know you and TRULY understand you situations.
