Philadelphia Harambee Inst Charter School

Danielle Gaines: My daughter (Kaylah Livingston) has attended this school for six years and I now have her two siblings attending and I love it!! There has been some challenges when the CEO John Skief passed however, there back on target and making learning an awesome experience!!!!! (KUDOS)

This is one of the worst schools in the city of Philadelphia. The teachers are not held accountable for their actions. My child attended and was harassed by a teacher to the point where she no longer wanted to go to school and I was forced to sign a "voluntary transfer" or she would be expelled. Children have attitudes every day for one reason or another but when adults are incapable of remembering that they were once children they, at that point, need to take a seat. The untimely death of Baba John Skief brought this school's morals and principles to a screeching halt. I wanted my child there to experience being with people who looked like her, who were in leadership roles, and they turned their back on her. She is thriving now but a word to the wise: if your child attends this school and is complaining it's definitely worth looking into.

Corrupt from the top to the bottom.  CEO lacks understanding of the very same principles they teach the children.  They ruin families not edify them.

It's an awful place. A lot of corruption. Misleading data and lies about children doing well academically.
