    Reynolds, along with most of WSFCS, is in a rapid state of decline as county administrators grasp…read moreto bandaid a $40m+ budget deficit and scramble for bailout assistance from the state and county (both have now declined). Leadership either has no plan to address challenges, or if they do, aren't sharing it with staff and families. Issues like racial and class segregation (see demographic data of schools like Reagan and Carver), school safety, and some of the worst teacher pay in the country continue to go unaddressed.

    Homophobic, Disrespectful, Ghetto are three words to summarize this school…read more You would think because this is an art school in a rich area, people would be accepting of your sexuality. Wrong! I went to this school last year. There was a homophobic poster outside a classroom. I of course was bothered by it and requested for them to take it down. They told me "It's a research project, we can't take it down". That's bullshit. If you research lgbt you wouldn't find homophobic things on credible sources. On this poster it had said the 'causes' of homosexuality. One of them being sexual assault. That's homophobic. I was new to the school by this time and I knew just then it was going to be a bad year. Another thing that happened in this school, is I was in Mr.Jackson's Earth and Environmental class. I was an a student in my previous school for Earth Science. When I switched schools Mr.Jackson refused to accept any of my work. And he also didn't abide to my 504. I used to love Earth Science this teacher made me hate the class. I also cried everyday because I used to love school and love working on my assignments. For my assignments are the only thing I can control in my life. Mr.Jackson refused to take any of them and I cried everyday. And even cried when entering his classroom everyday. I'm so glad I moved back to my old school. Also, don't get me started on the school's assistant principal Ms.Archie. She is the worst! She is disrespectful and also tries to act as my counselor. I request to my see my counselor and Ms. archie refuses to let me have a private conversation with my counselor. Then when I request to see my counselor most of the time I end up being called to Ms. archie's office. She is not a counselor she isn't trained to be a counselor. I hated this school. Don't fucking ever go to it if you have the choice.

    We were thrilled when our younger one got picked from the lottery to enroll in this charter school,…read moreand we were really excited when our older one got picked as well (they give preference to siblings attending the same school). My kids have made friends and seem to like it here. There isn't bus service, but I would have had to drive and pick my kids up either way due to bus driver shortages. This is a small school, and the faculty know everyone and their kids here, which is refreshing compared to a larger school. They also don't give homework, which my kids and I love not having that eat up our afternoons for no reason. They claim to teach a regular curriculum but with an artsy twist, making the learning fun and engaging. As far as how much they actually live up to that claim, my older one indicates that they tend to be lacking in that department. Still, I think we prefer it here to your standard public school.

    I have 2 children enrolled currently at Arts Based Schools - both in elementary. I could not be…read morehappier with my choice. As a parent, I love the idea of an art-incorporated curriculum. The idea is to teach them lessons not only through words, but also visual, audio, and even performance lessons. Dance class is the dance of the molecules. While the current science lesson would be the phases of matter. Plenty of overlap and reinforcement. My kids LOVE it there. They dont notice the lack of a traditional gymnasium. Teachers are all very nice. Tutoring and special assistance is available for kids that need it. And the parent community is very invovled - and non judgy... because most of us are artists. All these reasons are why I have a third child starting there in the fall.
