Constellation Schools: Westside School of the Arts

"My children will never go to another Constellation school. They are switching teachers constantly and they are trying to fail my son this year. Not for failed test scores but because of his behavior and not having s good grade in Math. I researched and this is illegal. Also do you not care about the mental state or the depression strain that you will be putting on my child. He wad never offered counseling support, tutoring support or even summer school to pass his grade. His pwn teaches told me well he has been doing great up until the last 3 weeks. I asked her well why was I not notified? She admitted she failed to let me know so how is this good education!!!!! How is this a good school that you fail a student putting them into depression mentally and research shows this does NOT HELP them instead it hurts them and most of the time these children drop out of school because they STOP believing in themselves. I will not recommend this school to anybody who cares about a TRUE education for their kids. I will be outside the school with petitions and getting signatures if any parent has the same views of the school please join me. News crews will eventually come out and cover the story of the injustice of this school failing our children!!!!!!"

"Good morning! I'm writing this review about this school because not only that my grandson attends this school but this school doesn't listen or care about these students will being or the parents it's all about the MONEY. My grandson has missed school due to he was sick mom wrote a note to the school that he was Ill the day before with asthma n a stomach bug and has ADHD. Next day we say a picture of him outside with no jacket on when mom call the school about this the person she spoke with was Not Concern with my grandson health only when mom got upset is when she told her that she would take his jacket out to him. Then call my daughter who is mom and told her that she spoke with the schools nurse and she said " it's ok for him to be out in this weather" which upsetted mom and I even more anyone whom has a child with asthma knows they can go into a full attack for no reason I'm grown n have asthma all my life has gone through this before. When she asked to speak to the nurse she blew her off like she's done so many times. So here is where I'm upset more not only that this happen yesterday again the let him outside without his jacket and Now he's Sick Again BUT WE'RE WRONG for being concerned about OUR CHILD. I DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE THIS SCHOOL AND STARS THEY DESIRE IT. AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE I WANT TO SAY BUT I'M GOING TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THAT PART!!!! Oh yeah when did constellation schools started charging money for their schools it's supposed to be FREE look it up it's a law look it up! Last thing if my grandson comes home being treated DIFFERENT I Promise that I'll take it up with the board and post it on all media's I really thought this school was so great now I think that it's so sad that it comes down to Money. AND NONE OF HIS NEEDS ARE BEING MET NONE!!!!"

"There is a tuition fee it’s $250 supposedly for school supplies. No matter what grade your child is in. I still can’t for the life of me figure out why a kindergartener needs $250 worth of school supplies. School just stated September on top of buying uniforms you have to pay for your child to dress down which wouldn’t be an issue if you where not already paying $250 them they want you to pay for field trips that’s $20 as well. Another concern after coming from a school that’s so well organized to this, the drop off and pick up is so ridiculous. Any random stranger can just pull up and say your child’s name and pick them up. There is no type of system involved to insure your child is being picked up by the right person. School is out at 3:30 and there not good with being on time. If your a parent picking up your child they literally don’t start calling names until 3:40 it’s chaotic and extremely annoying. I’m already considering pulling my child from this school. There curriculum is pretty much just like any other school that’s free. I highly suggest exploring all your options before you send your child here."

"My children went there for 3 years. Their "No Bullying" policy is a load of BS. The principal consistantly pushed the issues under the rug until I started contacting the school board. My son was denied his inhaler on multiple occasions. Id steer clear of this school at all costs!"

"My children has been in this school for 4 years and they like it. The teachers Work hard to help the kids succeed academically. This is a new school and it has come a long way since it opened. It can use a better playground, more after school art activities and more variety musical instruments for the kids. But it is a safe school and everyone is polite and very nice. We use a dojo to communicate and stay current on my children's grade and homework, and that is very helpful."
