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.

GBRiverton 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.

GBAverage 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.

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

GBKindergarten-8th Grade Schools Aren't Always a Good Idea I have learned after 4 years that I don't much care for schools that include kids kindergarten-8th grades. They tend to lump them all together very often, but speak to everyone as if everyone is in 1st grade. I think as kids grow into teenagers, they need to feel 'individualized' more and have opportunities to be themselves and not feel like 'little kids', which I feel a K-8 school makes them feel like. I don't believe NHA teachers are any better than those of public schools, however I do believe that experiences for the kids are better because parents tend to be more involved/concerned, having enrolled their child(ren) there instead of public schools, where trouble tends to happen more often due to troubled home lives.
