When my grandson was in kindergarten he was being bullied. The kids at the school have no respect for adults. The school doesn't enforce the dress code. They allow the kids to wear part of their uniform. When being dismissed the kids run around like animals in the yard. IT'S RIDICULOUS!! WORSE CHARTER SCHOOL I'VE EVER SEEN.

Everything about this school is horrible!!!! I have 3 children attending there and I am concerned about their safety and education. My daughter who is only in Kindergarden Is being bullied and the children are so loud she cant even concentrate on her work. She comes home complaining of a headache everyday because the children are so loud. How do they expect these children to learn if they cant even keep them quiet enough to sit there and learn. The hallways are digusting and spell just like urine. The staff are so unprofessional. It took two weeks before my children were even able to start school. I had to put up a fight before they allowed them to enter. BIG MISTAKE!! I should have fought with the Board Of Education to find my children a safer and cleaner school. My two oldest which are only 8 and 9 years old are afraid to go to school because they are being bullied during recess. My son asked 1 of the staff that are supposed to be watching the children for help. Do you really wanna know what she said??? She said " Are you kidding me, as big as you are? Go over there and play!!" Can you believe that??? DO NOTSEND your kid to this school. Im still tryna find a good school..

James Alcorn is not a good learning environment. Most of the students have major behavioral problems that are not addressed. The teachers are constantly redirecting these students while the few students who are capable learning sit and watch . The principal needs more security staff because safety is major issue inside this school. This school has gang fights inside the school everyday.
