Cherokee Charter Academy

"As middle school for my Daughter began approaching, I started looking for ideas outside of "mainstream county schools." I was referred by an attending family to check into CCA. That was one of the best decision I could have made. I knew my Daughter would do well in a big fish, small pond setting, and I was correct. My Daughter has flourished in an environment where the school is personal, family oriented and filled with students and staff who care! Best choice for any parents who think their child may benefit from smaller class sizes and a more family aligned school! Thank you CCA, you continue to be a blessing!"

"They have a very bad bullying problem at the school. Students, Teachers, and administration are complicit in allowing it to happen. The answers you get as a parent and/or a student depend on who you are. When you as a parent ask questions and/or ask for an investigation, not only is there no investigation, but the screws get tighter on your kid and the allegations get more serious and crazier from students, teachers, and administration. On the off chance that allegations are not prooven and you ask for an apology, instead things get worse and the allegations simply change."

"We have been with CCA for 7 years. We have one child in middle school, and one in elementary. The opportunities for parent involvement are great. As well as involvements within the community. We value that our Principal and teachers are communicative. The students know their daily expectations and teachers are appreciative of their students efforts. The staff and teachers emphasizes the importance kindness and compassion for all and lead by example. I feel that my children’s educational needs are being met. This school has proven to be both safe and accommodating to our needs."

"Every person I know who has went there, has had an awful experience. My first year of middle school was spent there and my sisters last year of middle school. Now that I am older I can see that things that happened there were wrong. Bullying is such a huge problem there and it's so bad and continues to be that way because the administration doesn't do much about it. Some teachers treat their students very unfair compared to other students. They don't give the hands on help that is needed for some students, very few teachers there do. I can't speak for the elementary school portion, but I'm speaking from experience being in their middle school. I've heard the same from others who have been there more recently than me with the same terrible experience. Stay clear of this place."
