Terrible charter school

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

There are no pros to this charter school.

Cons

Supposedly helps students of color but has a militaristic system that is damaging to the children. Also, absolutely no budget put into the arts. They don't have any of the basics like languages, art class, etc. And they often don't have science or history teachers because of budget cuts or they make one teacher teach science or history across all of the middle school.

Achievement First Response

I am so sorry to hear about your negative experience of AF - what you describe is very far from the experience we aim to create in our schools every day. For instance, for this school year, our top priority as a network of schools is for every student to feel that they are safe, loved, and learning. We also do offer history, science, and enrichment at all of our schools (and we have dedicated teachers in these disciplines). Some of our staffing may look different due to staffing or safety needs - especially this year during the pandemic. We have continued our commitment to specials and enrichment in a remote and hybrid setting and offering these subjects is an important part of school at AF.
