GBBad 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

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

GBWhat a horrible company What a horrible company. I am a former employee and have been trying to get a hold of the service centers payroll department for over 1 week and it doesn’t matter what time of the day I call. No one I mean one answers the phone. That is so unprofessional. I feel bad for whoever still works for them.

GBBased 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.

GBby 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.
