Renaissance Charter School 35-59 81st Street, Queens, NY 11372

"I’m a friend of the family of Kalliopi Spanos. The way the faculty handled this case, is absolutely absurd, inappropriate, unprofessional, and I’m very disgusted by the comments on here. How do people attack and cyber bullying a 12-year-old kid? I’m very disappointed."

"Do not send your kid(s) to this joke of a school. The teaching staff and security staff are disrespectful a lot of the time. There are probably a couple teachers who actually care like Tara, Everett, ET and José but are overshadowed by the other corrupted teachers such as, the american history/govt teacher, Thandi. The teachers show extreme favoritism with a few students, most who have spent their entire life at TRCS (students who have attended the school from middle school and earlier). This leaves the rest of students feeling unwanted and lacking the one and one teaching some students require. Do your kid a favor and do not send your child(ren) to this horrible school. The lack of extracurricular activities and sports teams are also another reason to keep your children away from this school."

"Great school. Very well organized. Happy students. We serve them for few years now - every time good experience."

"I loved my experience at Renaissance. So many wonderful opportunities came my way because of the help and support I was given. It is not a perfect place but I know most teachers and staff genuinely care for students and their success. Even as I study in college I am able to reach out to my TRCS family for any kind of help and support. I am grateful for my time there and all that I learned. TRCS really inspired me to pursue my artistic career as well as my academic one. I know they care."

"This school is absolute garbage, the school had a handful of teachers who were actually caring and challenged students. The school staff is completely unaware of what goes on while Suzzane Arnold proposes random "policies" and "dress code rules". She typically changes policys on kids who she feels are a "problem"'to her. The drama teacher Rebekah is her best friend and as a result she feels she has more power and tends to suspend kids on her accord with Suzzane's persmission. I actually was able to get a case on her for her harrasing me to sign a paper while takint a test, safe to say she'll let kids finish a simple test now. The office people with the exception of Fran and Pat are completely useless. Parina is the rudest person I ever met, Stacey is seen twice a year, the first and last day of school, that's the princeaple. School officers are completely biased and follow Suzzanes rules. Myself along side others were constantly picked on once we had a difference of opnions with teacher, teachers were very quick to throw you out if you disagree with something. Once you get went to Suzzane's office you're essentially on her hit list. I hate thinking I went to this school but I remember the good friends I met here and release it could have been worse. Highly suggest you don't put your child to this school, they are about money not education."
