Something needs to be done about this.

Flagstaff Academy is a charter school that I see as problematic. The math program in particular has…read morebeen an issue from the beginning and everyone in the administration knows this is true. A simple Google search will turn up research that proves that their various levels of mathematics for every grade level, discourages children in learning and creates math anxiety. When shown this research, the administration says there is nothing they can do about it because it's part of the charter. If your child is in a accelerated math group and then gets dropped to the next level down for the next year because of enrollment, etc. they will be learning the same math over again and will be bored and discouraged. When I transferred my children to public school after being years at Flagstaff Academy, my oldest, who was in accelerated math, had giant gaps missing in their math education. The teachers in the public school were not surprised they had seen this happen repeatedly from Flagstaff. My youngest child could not write more than a paragraph summation. I had to get my child extra summer writing lessons to catch up with their public school peers (who standard was riding five paragraphs). Also when we were there, not every teacher was teaching the same curriculum. The elementary had changed math curriculums so often that two of the teachers refused to switch. My kid wrote their college essay on the shock they received being moved from accelerated math at Flagstaff to public school math. I will never forgive myself. There are protections and standards in public schools that you will not find in a charter. Consider carefully your choice. My favorite part of their reply below is where they call me a liar. I would strongly suggest that you send your children to a public school that doesn't consider themselves a "business"

At 2:57 PM, when my son got out of school, I called the front office to let them know I was going to be late due to attending a funeral. I asked Gianna in the front office what time the office closed, and she informed me it stayed open until 3:45 PM. I told her I would get there as soon as possible, considering I was coming from over an hour away on the other side of town. I was rushing through traffic trying my best to get to my son. When I arrived, Mrs. Tallman immediately began shaking her head at me and telling me I did not give the school enough notice, that staff members had family meetings, and that she personally had to cancel a meeting because of my lateness. She also stated, "We are not your babysitter," directly in front of my son. I understand being late can inconvenience staff, and I take accountability for arriving after the office closing time. However, I had communicated ahead of time due to an unexpected life event, and this is not a repeated issue for me. The most I have ever been late before was 15-20 minutes due to traffic in Colorado. What upset me most was the manner in which this situation was handled. I felt publicly scolded and judged as a mother in front of my child, rather than spoken to respectfully and privately. Life circumstances happen, and while I understand school policies must be followed, I believe this could have been addressed with more professionalism, understanding, and compassion.

Not only does this affect us, but it's made our son feel like dirt. Pretty upset about the decision the principal made in regards to our son. This is a direct reflection of the school as a whole because most likely they are only worried about their numbers. Instead of making children feel worse about themselves, especially since we toured and I did all the work to get the school the IEP and transcripts and then tell him no. Thanks Twin Peaks.
