I was a student there for 9 years I was a student there for 9 years, and the abuse was horrific. I didn't realize how bad it was until I left to go to high school and all of the things I expected were unimaginable by my peers. I was absolutely destroyed mentally and emotionally, and their "better academics" actually put me behind my peers. Keep in mind, I was in all of their advanced classes and only got high A's. It's two and a half years later, and I'm still reeling. If you care about your child at all, especially if you're not a white christian, choose a different school. Much of their curriculum is purely unscientific, and their discipline is ludicrously harsh. They also frequently go out of their way to discourage any friendships forming. I could go into much more depth on all the traumas me and my peers endured, but I can sum it all up fairly well in one story. My grandfather had died the previous night, and I started crying in class. I was promptly brought to the principal's office and yelled at for disrupting class, and the two friends I had were given detention for trying to console me. I was 11. In addition, since the teachers were bullies too, they played favorites with them. They would sit by and watch their favorite students pummel the disabled kids,then only step in once the disabled kids fought back.

Westfield Charter Academy /NHA/Failed my daughter My daughter is in the Kindergarten class at Westfield in Redford and this has been absolutely by far the worst Kindergarten experience ever out of 3 kids my daughter Teacher is just now telling me my daughter is only able to recognize 3 numbers as of may 14th 2021 this is unbelievable!! When were you going to me this because the last time i spoke with her Teacher everything was fine, great now you want to retain her im pissed because when did u realize this ?? She never sent homework home so i just assumed she was doing well in school because no one reached out to me other wise to say different she can't recognize some of her letters like really what is going on and why are you just telling me this in April at the end of the school year ?when I spoke with her Teacher over a google meeting in March she told me she was doing good and on the right track!! This Teacher and whoever is covering for her needs to be held accountable!! And not my daughter because she has a Teacher who don't have any experience i need answers and help i am not letting this go at all !!!and why is my daughter being tested without any review?? On what she is being tested for and why was i not informed that the teacher was doing a test ? So i could help prepare her And my daughter was just getting back after being gone for a week of school because she had surgery then you test her the week she is just getting back? Why?? A set up for failure and then I ask well can you send a homework packet for her while she is out for the week so it won't affect her grade she said yes then after she decided she was not going to move her up to first grade i said why don't you send homework home it might have actually helped her out but her response was That's why I have Google classroom up lady really you could have sent homework home but she didn't i need answers and help asap! This is ridiculous and now im force to send her to summer school and teach her myself i don't mind at all teaching my daughter but when i send her to school everyday i expect the Teacher to do something and not fail her!!

Me and my kids have had the most worst… Me and my kids have had the most worst experience at one of the NHA schools. I'm really tired of trying to be heard and understood by these unprofessional adults working at Advantage Charter Academy, Baker, La They do not try to solve problems, they try to sweep things under the rug, and act as if your issue with the school doesn't matter. Most of the adults are bullies and manipulate these kids. I do not send my kids to school to be intimidated, bullied or manipulated by no grown adults with no self control. These adults use foul language, when talking to and at the kids. I don't even use profanity when speaking to my kids so no one else should either. I don't teach my kids about personal boundaries, only to send them to a school that will violate them. (Boundaries) I've let things slide with this school, but not this time. I'm tired of these suppose to be adults jumping in my kids face and nothing is being done about it! This not the first incident, but this is what I'm trying to get resolved now. My daughter told Me a lady name Ms.Gorge got in her face and said "MOVE LITTLE GIRL" when my daughter began to move she then begins to push my child and tell her to hurry up she's not moving fast enough. I been trying to handle this situation properly since it happen. The way the school is ignoring the problem puts me at great discomfort wondering what else is going on inside that school. I really feel like they want you to go crazy and act ill mannered for their enjoyment. Some of those adults don't need to be no where around kids!!! The way my son begged me to drop him from that school worries me for the students there. The whole school needs to be under investigation. The principal is a joke!

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.

The gym teacher put his hands on my… The gym teacher put his hands on my daughter in rolesville nc. The principal refused to meet with my family about it. She brushed it under like it was nothing. Also my daughter was supposed to be receiving math interventions. She never got them instead she was placed in a remediation group which she did not need. Both the dean and the principal refused to meet with us. I am disgusted with the school and do not trust them with my child or anyone else's.
