In dealing with NDSD in Dayton Ohio my… In dealing with NDSD in Dayton Ohio my children will never attend another NHA school. I would not recommend any of their schools. I have made complaints about the staff at NDSD in Ohio to NHA and none of my concerns have been resolved. The staff at this school is terrible for exception of the main principal, and the secretaries. The teach don't know how to handle students with behavioral problems or IEP. They threaten children with more homework or suspension which they have no authority to do.

Unacceptable experience no response or accountability … I called National Heritage Academies in March because of issues with Emerson Academy in Dayton. I was told they would look into it and get back. No one ever returned my calls or my emails. Teachers are calling me because my grandchild is talking, not sitting down or listening. I thought teachers are the adults. I had a teacher call me today and when I told her my granddaughter stated three girls were bothering her. The teacher told me she was busy in class. Excuse me, I am at work, she interrupted me. Emerson Academy and National Heritage Academies are terrible. I think my next call will be to the State Board of Education

Needs some improvement Kids do not get enough fresh air and outside time, lunch is very rushed 15 min at most after getting seated and then, last 5 mins are announcements and clean up.

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!!
