Based on recent dealings with NHA … Based on recent dealings with NHA representatives, and Grand River Academy School Board, it is evident that their mission is not being supported and adhered to; students with special unique needs and behavioral struggles are being put out of their schools expelled and suspended without proper intervention strategies, adequate services and supports and disenfranchised educationally. The state and federal government mandates our students to receive an appropriate and free public education to include individualized instruction to support the unique needs of our students, for all students to be allowed to reach their full and maximum potential. Students are to benefit from the education experience: socially, academically, mentally etc.. Not be excluded from this. Students need to learn not just at home, but through collaborative efforts from all to include schools and community organitional supports in order for them to be successful in our today's society. This information is not new, but old. There must be equal access to an education not disenfranchisement from receiving an equitable education and discrimination. NHA has disregarded the rights of students who are citizens of the United States. They accept the State and Federal funding that is allocated for each and every student. NHA parents and stakeholder, this is your money and if it's your money; you are the employer. Therefore there is no excuse that our students at NHA are being prohibited from receiving a suitable and equitable education. They solicit us through false promises for the head count dollars and do nothing to fulfill their promise, the expectations of State and disregard federal requirements. Per their responses to many of their stakeholders, they suggest we call them to talk about the concern,well this too is a waste of time. We have reached out to many such as Board of the school, the Board of NHA, and their Chartering authorizer VP(no response); nothing but pure disregard. A class action US Department of education complaint with the Inspector Generals office and office of Civil rights needs to be done if anyone is interested please contact me at 313-452-2329.

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!

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.

Challenge advanced students? Good school but not confident they will customize a learning plan for students who are advanced in some subjects.

Average Education Don't feel safe driving to and from school... The school needs to have more safety signs, signal anything that help promote safety!!! SAFETY should be the schools number one goal.
