Colorado Springs Charter Academy

"My child started school at CSCA Kindergarten right in the middle of the pandemic. I still remember kind of throwing our daughter out of the car onto the sidewalk into Mrs. Landers' arms all masked up. She will always have a special place in our hearts in how dedicated she was to her students with multiple shut downs, zoom school session, etc. She was amazing... First grade didn't disappoint next. Ms. Linhart was so loving and kind with the students. She really took the time to get to know my child and because of that my child felt seen and heard all through the year. The teachers are always available by email and they ACTUALLY respond to you when you have questions, concerns, etc. They want your kids to succeed as much as you do. I can't speak to allegation of nepotism or favoritism. We are a 2 parent working full time household and participate in almost everything the school offers around full time work schedules. I have never felt my child was treated differently. My only minor complaint is that the activities are pretty limited to junior high kids and it would be nice for the school to spearhead some after school clubs for younger kids to join e.g. drama, art, dance, chess, etc."

"My daughter goes to CSCA. I am going give 5 stars to Mrs. Desotelle and Mrs. White, as well as Mrs. Melendez. But, I am going to give one star to CSCA. It is too much nepotism in this school. I do believe that there is indirect discrimination in this school. I will continue, for now, to keep my daughter at CSCA because she is is learning so many good things. But, I am hoping that things will change in future time. CSCA should not be allowed to have nepotism. Friends, family, PTO' daughters and sons, cousins and nephews etc. It is inequality at CSCA. The Awards are awful, it reminds me of a Communism countries."

"I have a child that attends CSCA. He will be going into 1st grade and another starting Kindergarten! I’m absolutely in love with the atmosphere of the school! The outstanding expectations the children are held to and how much my child grew alone in kindergarten! I can’t wait to see how this upcoming year is!"

"This school was great this year. It was in person most of the year which my son needs and loves. He made many friends and learned so much. The way they teach reading worked really good for him. I love that they teach cursive. At first it was hard for him but now he loves it. He also loves Spanish class. By the end of the year some sports were starting up and I hope they have them in full swing next year."

"When my kids attended this school is was decent however they tend to hire anyone and I'm not sure how much of a background check is done. We had a problem where the classroom assistant pushed my daughter. I brought it to the attention of the director/principal and counselor but no one listened it was basically her word against my young daughter. Beware this lady is still employed there"
