Franklin Academy Charter School

September 23, 2015

My daughter's classroom was extremely negative. It was being taught by a former corrections officer who was rude and abrasive. My daughter came home every day in tears and told me she was afraid of her teacher. When we sought out a classroom change and shared our concerns with administration, we were treated terribly. They have a zero classroom/teacher change policy. The vice principal shared my letter with the teacher, informing her of what my child had complained about prior to even discussing it with me, pulled my child out of class, interrogated her like a criminal with no parents present and without our knowledge and then sent her back to class with a target on her head. They refused to switch her class, told me my daughter was a liar, and said that my child's opinion was none of their concern. I called the board members and received no response. I heard back from the Principal one week after all of this happened and he offered to pack my children's supplies personally because they have a list with hundreds of students ready to fill my child's spot if we don't like their policies! You sign away your rights on the parent contract. There is no accountability or repercussions for their bad behavior. This is why Charter Schools are terrible. They only care about the money your child is worth to them. If you are not successful or happy with their school, they could care less. If you choose to send your child here, know that you will like it until there is an issue. At which time, no-one will care or help.
