Keys Gate Charter School

"Don’t send your child here. Send them to a better school. This school has teachers who are only here for the paychecks rather then teaching the students. All they do is eat, talk on the phone. Some teachers even just let the kids run around while they teachers fall asleep. Constant bullying here, the children here are very rude. Administration really doesn’t do much. Me being at this school for 4 years really sucked. I’m glad I finally left this school."

"This school has an awful problem with bullying and children being targeted. There have been multiple dangerous threats and the staff doesn’t do anything for the well-being of the students. The bullying here is relentless and no one cares to listen to our case I’d rather just take it to the cops at this point. Please be aware of the social issues in this school, please be on top of your children and make them aware that bullying is very dangerous. Please listen to your kids. The cops will be involved sooner or later if staff doesn’t control the bullying situation. It shouldn’t take a suicide or something horrible to happen for there to be change. Change must start now."

"There's constant bullying by other kids and the administration nor the Teachers do anything about it. There's a specific teacher Ms. Ford, second grade teacher. She's rude to parents, pretends to be a jolly individual but my child tells us that as soon as she's alone she becomes a monster. She bullies kids her self, yells at them, humiliates and talks down to them. She's not a pleasant individual that condones violence, her rules are basically you can push, curse, and beat on other kids as long as her back is on you. If her back is turned, then she doesn't care what goes on. She also uses slang around the kids, and we don't send are children to school to become ghetto children. I'm a man with good morals, which is the reason I don't disrespect a woman nor will ever. But she needs to be put in her place since she likes to bully little defenseless children."

"This school is shiny and new on the outside to cover up how rotten it is on the inside. I guarantee you half of the parents here have had to put their child on Adderall or some type of medication. They meddle to far into your home lives when you decide you do not want to cough up any money. My kid has been suspended from here 3 separate times for things he's done with other children. He's gotten awful grades and horrible discouraging notes home from school. When we finally go to remove him, it's a hassle because the entire office on the kindergarten side is gathered up trying to hear why he's leaving and putting in opinions that are not based on school facts just gossip. Overall, the uniforms are just a little too much in itself. My child can't attend because he didn't have his belt ? My child has to wear the same jacket for 5 days a week because it's the only one with the school logo ? Here's an update. 2 weeks into his new school. All E's, no issues with schools, he's learned all his frequency words already. They have cupcake challenges and a treasure box option for completing homework. 0 Stars."

"Great school! Teachers and administration in the Kindergarten - 2nd grade building are awesome! Lots of extra activities are available for the students to participate in if they wish. They go the extra mile to make learning fun! Front office is very welcoming. Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure the students feel loved. Although students are given multiple chances to the right thing, for those that consistently don't follow the rules, discipline issues are addressed quickly and compassionately. I like that they keep in mind the impact that disruptive students have on the other students. When I voiced my concerns, the assistant principal and her support people listened to me and resolved the issue. Those parents that complain are usually those who never volunteer or whose children are disruptive. Charter schools are not for everyone, but if you want an environment where your child will be helped to achieve academically, be respected, and feel loved, this is the best school for you."
