Durham Charter School

"I am honored to say that this school is one of the best Charte school in Durham I have chosen for all 3 of my kids. The office staff is always there to help parents and always answer the phone never have an issue with that at all and also with the education of my kids I am greatly appreciate what the teachers are doing with them and encouraging them to be eager to learn more and more. I love everything that Durham Charter does for the parents and importantly for the kids."

"Our experience at Durham Charter has been exceptional. The teachers are truly invested in my children’s education and their growth as learners. Adjustments are made as needed to meet the needs of the student. The leveled learning have enabled my children to gain confidence in their learning abilities. The curriculum is challenging where they push the child to their best abilities. The teachers constantly taking training and create plan of attacks to encourage scholars. They really makes me feel that we are part of a big family!"

"I want to say that this is a very GREAT SCHOOL, I switched my son from DPS to Durham Charter for many reasons academic, transportation and communication wise something that DPS didn't have at all. I don't regret at all switching my son from DPS to Durham Charter I LOVE IT ! I have seen a major change in my son him being eager to read and learn more something that I didn't get to see before but now I am seeing it. If a parent is in doubt you can always communicate with the teachers at all times and not only that if you was to call the school you will always get an answer with no doubt. I appreciate and Love everything Durham Charter do for the scholars and parents."

"Pickup for kids takes to long over 15 minutes. Students are not allowed to go to the restroom. If they ask to go, the teacher will tell them they have to write sentences or a quiet lunch. This is not appreciate behavior from a third grade teacher. And a teacher rolling her eyes at students is not appreciate behaved. Remember kids do what they see others do. Don't call a parents for a student rolling there eyes at you if that's all you do to them all day because you don't have patience to deal with 3rd graders."

"When it comes to Healthy Start Academy there needs to be so, so many changes that needs to made, starting with the head. There are some good teachers there and staff and I did appreciate them and thank you for all your help but when you don't appreciate your staff there should be changes. Not only that but the school structure is not doing such a good job for the kids. Behavioral issues of the kids are not handled like they should be, it seems to be the wrong doers get punished much lesser. I asked the board to really take a serious look into things and there is talk spreading to not take your kids to Healthy Start Academy. Mrs. Hill stay beautiful always, Mr. Willis thank you, you where like a farther figure to my son. Ms. Johnson, Ms. Stancil, Ms. Bailey please keep up the good work. To the good teachers that stuck around and cared you know who you are Thank you."
