Success4School

"If you are considering this school, be very careful before you sign anything. Once you enroll you are contractually bound to pay the full year's tuition whether you attend or not. Our son attended for less than a month before we had to pull him out for personal reasons. The school is unwilling to refund ANY of our tuition, despite multiple appeals, so we are just out the full amount for the year. It's an unfair business practice, taking advantage of struggling families."

"I remember the old days at Franklin Academy where my son was treated as if he was invisible . Special needs children are treated so differently in the Wake County school district . They pull down the scores and their IEP's were never met. We were an inconvenience . By the grace of god I met Jill and Allison. I wonder if they know that they directly changed the rules , they changed the odds and the outcome is overwhelming. If you want greatness if you are ready for the real thing please call them. Ask for me talk with my son Tony. Thank you for everything ,he matters and know he feels it and he owns it."

"My high school son has been working with Carrie for almost a year. I wish I had signed him up when he entered middle school and I first started seeing problems with tracking assignments, getting work done, etc. Instead I spent 3 years yelling, coercing, checking teacher websites daily, and generally making us both miserable while not helping him in any meaningful way. Yes - some of what Carrie tells him are things I've told him. But having another person, especially a teacher, say it carries more weight. I finally got help when it looked like he was going to fail most of his classes. We signed up for the study skills coaching. Today, my involvement in homework is to ask "how much time do you need for homework. I'm thinking about us going out later," so he thinks about it. He gives an answer (2 hours) and I say OK. Homework discussion over. Grades are mostly A's in honors and AP classes with a couple of high B's. No yelling. No threats. I have a good relationship with him again. I can't comment on how they work with young kids, or how actual tutoring works. But the study skills coaching with Carrie has been transformative. >> Update 9/2017 The work with Carrie, Dan, and others really helped my son. I'm happy to report he is self sufficient right now in his sophomore year of college. He stays on top of his studies and he is doing well on his own."

"My son was in the beginning of his junior year when he suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. After being in bed for 5 months we discovered he could no longer process math and had trouble reading. This was a boy who was athletic and always had good grades in a private school. We found Success4School's and enrolled him. These folks were amazing in so many ways they nurtured him they rebuilt his self esteem and more importantly they created a way to teach him the math required to graduate in a way his brain could process it. They were so patient and many times helping at night over the phone to get his homework done when he was frustrated. As for the tuition. They spent more time with him day after day and night after night that I am Sure they lost money. I'm not sure what the last reviewer means by bullying this is what they are highly against. I have spent many hours in that environment while my son attended there and never witnessed anything but love and patience. I can only leave you with this at my sons graduation he spoke these words" how do you thank people who spent so much time helping me. There are no words to say thank you to the people who fixed me when I was so Broken. This coming from an 18 year old. If I can help any parent make a decision about putting their child in this environment please contact me especially if you have a child who has suffered a TBI. I'm sure they still has my cell number on file. Today my son is a freshman in college and planning to go on to law school. There are no words to express my thanks to these people they gave my son a new life and saved mine."

"My son began working with a tutor at Success 4 School late in his third grade year. He was having difficulties with his writing and his grades slipped because of it. Over the following two and a half years, we have seen great improvements in my son's studies. He's enjoyed working with each of his tutors and I can't express how important that's been. To have a nine, ten or eleven year old boy who is not fighting to go study, and to see success from those studies, has been great. The investment in tutoring has helped my son with his grades, study habits and confidence in school."
