Southside Academy Charter School 2200 Onondaga Creek Boulevard, Syracuse, NY 13207

"Disappointed to say the least Please do not send your child to this school ... This has been 1 of the worst experiences of my child's education Dean of middle school is a over sized bully her self , she believes threatening children when parents aren't around is OK.. Entire staff is rude ,as well as unprofessional to say the least . And not to mention if your child has special needs or IEP they will not get acomidated . I had such high hopes for this school for better education for my child & 6 months in I pulled her out . Please do not waist your time like many of us parents already have nor exposed your children to the verbal lash out they will receive at this school."

"Don't send your child to this school. A public school I used to go to is much better than this and that says a lot. All the students are annoying and always in some type of fight or drama. The students are never well behaved. And the teachers could never control their students which leads to the other students who came here for an education to also suffer. It makes it hard to learn because of the kids who cant control themselves and their voice. Kids get headaches because of the noise. This don't even deserve to be called a Charter school."

"Very unorganized as a team in reassuring that things are being done or handled in a correct matter. I feel that for this to be a charter it is very off standard for a charter school it reminds me more of a regular public school. The children there are out of control rude disrespectful and a lot are trouble makers which makes it hard for anyone's child to focus on getting the education that we send them for"

"I've been here since kindergarten and my last year's almost over. What I can say is the teachers there are very caring and will try their hardest in helping you succeed. From K-8. It's pretty diverse here, and accepting. There's rarely any bullying and if there was a situation, the Dean and Teachers will get right to it to try and solve it. I'll be honest and say it's pretty hectic here with the girl drama and stupid kids who wanna get into fights but it gets resolved pretty quickly. The students here are welcoming, some more than others. I don't know what else to say but if you ever come here, you won't be let down."

"My child attends this school, has since kindergarten, we love pretty much everything about this school, child excels in, math, reading, vocabulary, science etc, there's a family feel to the way the school is run. Will say,,,, Your child will get back tenfold the rewards, of the effort they put in. And, effort is definitely expected! Only downside , after eighth grade,, no NHA charter high school, for child to attend."
