Success Academy Charter School - Bronx 2 Elementary 450 Saint Pauls Place, The Bronx, NY 10456

"Worst experience ever. Quickest school transfer I ever done. My kids attended this horrible “school” for only for 2 DAYS!! 1st Grade teacher Mrs. Nelson it is not qualified in any way to be a teacher nor to deal with parents. The kids are not allow to be kids and the expectations from teachers are UNREAL. You cannot expect a child to be “trained” to act a certain way. My older child is in 4th grade . They put her in 3rd grade because they wanted to give her an assessment first to see if she was qualified for her grade. It’s so disrespectful for us. The only reasonable person was the guy who helped me through the process of getting them in the school that works in the office……"

"This is the worst environment for any child. It’s like an army based academy. Can you imagine having silent lunch as a first grader ? Smh ridiculous, the Principal the teachers are highly unprofessional. There’s a very select few in there who are decent staff members. They pull students , the DONT allow them to be kids. Every Wednesday is a half a day. School starts at 7:30 they give them bag breakfast as if they are animals. The curriculum is ridiculous. Computers are being carried all day everyday even in KINDERGARTEN! This school is solely for SHOW & doesn’t care about your child’s well being or their education. If I could give ZERO stars I would. Transfer your kids out to ICHAN , BRONX EXCELLENCE anywhere but SA !"

"I'm soooooo upset right now. The school is fine but the teachers are not professional. Some of them. My daughter is in kindergarten and this lady is making my daughter life miserable right now. Anyway the male teacher is not around my daughter is afraid to go to school. It shouldn't be that way. The school need to train the teachers especially the new ones. I'm taking my daughter from this school because of this lady because I don't want my child to be traumatized. They spend more time at school than home and if they made school he'll for my daughter it doesn't make any sense to me."

"This is not the environment any student should be in especially if your child has an IEP. Understaffed classrooms because there is no teacher retention all the teachers keep leaving because of management and my child is constantly having new "teachers" come in. My child is not receiving therapy according to their IEP because the school hasn't had a speech therapist since returning at the beginning of school year 08/2021 which is going on almost 8 months in a few weeks. Pressuring teachers who put that same pressure on student with all the testing.The school doesn't see an issue with the methods/approach taken and it is the children that hurt in the end. My child will NEVER return to this school because this approach hinders success and I'm surprise this school hasn't been audited based not reporting all COVID cases, having one teacher per 30 kids, and students not receiving services plus so much more that goes on. This charter school needs to be defunded or a serious change needs to happen by people who really care about children succeeding and not just the funding they need to keep the place afloat or the investors who are just investing for a tax write off which isn't helping these students at all!!!"

"If I could absolutely give this school No stars I would. If your child has an IEP stay away from this school! Not only are they unqualified to deal with these children they are also impatient. When their so called scholars aren't keeping up with their curriculum its bye bye to that student. Dont waste your time or money on this school or any success academy in that matter."
