Kindergarten-8th Grade Schools Aren't Always a Good Idea I have learned after 4 years that I don't much care for schools that include kids kindergarten-8th grades. They tend to lump them all together very often, but speak to everyone as if everyone is in 1st grade. I think as kids grow into teenagers, they need to feel 'individualized' more and have opportunities to be themselves and not feel like 'little kids', which I feel a K-8 school makes them feel like. I don't believe NHA teachers are any better than those of public schools, however I do believe that experiences for the kids are better because parents tend to be more involved/concerned, having enrolled their child(ren) there instead of public schools, where trouble tends to happen more often due to troubled home lives.

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!!

by far the worst school ive ever… by far the worst school ive ever attended. horrible staff and the amount of favoritism shown is unbelievable. i would do my work and get a B but the students that were the teachers "favorites" wouldnt do anything and still get A's. NHA themselves take no accountability for anything and neither do their schools. Horrible company with horrible schools.

Please never take your kids here Please never take your kids here it is literal torture one break a day 15minute lunch not enough time to eat I have to waste so much food because this school can't give us a well deserved 30 minute lunch staff and students are way way way overworked.. 15minute recess to I f****g hate this school I cry every night because how much of a stressful environment this place is please help and if you go to triumph academy get the lowest grades you possibly can so this school can shut down honestly if you go to any NHa school get low grades so hopefully this absolutely disgusting company can finnaly get shut down so us kids may live in peace..

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.
