Bad 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

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

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

Frustrated If your child fits "in the box"they will thrive at this school if "not"you and your child will be very frustrated at times
