East Arbor Academy in Ypsilanti MI (please take into account that I am a high school student and not a parent, so I have a larger understanding of the inner workings of this school) Although I was not fully aware of other NHA schools being terrible, I can speak as a student that this has been one of the worst places to visit in my life, which has only gone downhill from then, the principal has an extremely tight grip on the staff, accomplished simply by making the ones she doesn't like simply hate third job, and keep the ones who agree, it has gotten so and that you could swear almost every position is cursed with the exception of a few. What really drove me to drive this review was some pure idiocy that took place in my last year, my brother's teacher (4th) had to take about 7 more students under her belt, and the principal was refusing to hire a new teacher, it sounded like a madhouse, which it was. While I wanted to take action, I knew I wouldn't get anywhere because as many have pointed out, the principals don't want to communicate with anyone. To finish this up, about 3 months after school got out, I was informed of a rumor that someone in the staff (ironically my favorite teacher) confronted the principal about her choice to have 36 students in a class, she yelled at him to get out with her only defense being that at her old school, she had 36 kids and could handle them all. Her old school district was Detroit, the district with the lowest test grades in the state. And that about sums up the entirety of NHA, destined to be the next Detroit schools.

Riverton Street Charter Zoo I don't know where to start. Ok this school year has been one of the worst experiences ever. Very unorganized, no one knows what the other is doing all the way up to the board of the school. Teachers vary depending on the teacher but all the greats are leaving because i believe they see the plane going down and fast. Bullying in the school is at an all time high and even when done in front of a dean there is no repercussion for the bully. No one answers the phone, ever i, actually called 30 times in a day and never got an answer. Favoritism is shown to stay at home parents that have time to be in the school all day. It's a complete zoo, they don't know which children leave with who. This is a very bad situation and although at this point I'm being forced to take my daughters out, i would hate to see another child hurt or taken because no one spoke up.

Bad bad bad Bad bad bad. Chandler Woods in MI Class sizes fill to 30+ per class with one teacher. PE is 60 kids: 1 adult. Recess is only once per day through winter months and recess is 250kids: 2-3 staff. Parents are gaslit to cover purposeful understaffing and underspending and kids are made to feel bad about normal behaviors because teachers are overworked. If your kid struggles they must fail to get any personal attention, and once their grade is above fail they get no help until failing again. I pulled one child and am ready to pull the second. If you have any complaint to NHA corporate you are deflected through parent relations. School deflects to NHA and NHA deflects to school. There is no parent power at all unless it is to enable NHA making money off your volunteering and child’s attendance. Surrounding districts spend thousands more per student with many more opportunities, resources and transparency. Do NOT attend an NHA school. Its a scam

Needs some improvement Kids do not get enough fresh air and outside time, lunch is very rushed 15 min at most after getting seated and then, last 5 mins are announcements and clean up.

In dealing with NDSD in Dayton Ohio my… In dealing with NDSD in Dayton Ohio my children will never attend another NHA school. I would not recommend any of their schools. I have made complaints about the staff at NDSD in Ohio to NHA and none of my concerns have been resolved. The staff at this school is terrible for exception of the main principal, and the secretaries. The teach don't know how to handle students with behavioral problems or IEP. They threaten children with more homework or suspension which they have no authority to do.
