GBI 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.

GBMe 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!

GBThe 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.
