Open Quote Top notch school and education. Their high achieving academic schedule is one of the best and keeps our kids up to par and past the normal. Even for the children that are are semi-struggling in a subject, they are STILL past the average for their grade level compared to other schools. The staff and teachers are amazing and they seem to know each kid personally along with the parents. It's feels good dropping off my son in the morning and they employees know him by first name.
Would defiantly recommend and do recommend this school to everyone. Close Quote

Open Quote Fortunately, two of my children immediately got into this school when they arrived in the USA. I am satisfied with the high level of teaching, after which my daughter was easily able to enter high school with a level of 10/10. It is very important that the school provides very good security. Our home teachers really help me monitor the learning process through regular communication. I am also pleased that we were offered additional classes and sessions with a psychologist to help the children adapt. Best school in the area Close Quote

We had good teachers up until now, always communicating, parent conferences, online parent-teachers -principal meetings, in person meetings, field trips, olympiads. The school has an engaging curriculum. Close Quote

Open Quote My child has been at HAAS for 3 years and it has been a positive experience overall. I am confident he is safe when I drop him off at school, which is a priority for me as a parent. Further, his academic achievements are significant, with high scores in the various standardized tests and continued growth year over year. I do wish they had a better program for gifted students to allow them to engage in different types of instruction and activities that help children with giftedness succeed. Close Quote

Open Quote My little man is a Kindergartner there and the staff has been so good with him and me. At first they seem a little stern (with the parents) but once a few days pass on, they’re amazing. Some of the staff even know my son by first name, I love it! He did cry for the first five days, but not once did they make him feel like he was an annoyance. One of the staff members that walked him to class checked on him later that day as well to see if he was still crying. That meant the world to me. His teacher is so sweet too, I love her. So far, A+ for the staff too. The homework hasn’t tumbled on us yet but I don’t mind the work. I prefer my son has a good amount, education is everything. Close Quote

Open Quote my son was in first grade last year and the teacher abuse physically and emotionally the whole class. This situation lasted 8 months and ended with the police involved, the teacher fired and everything was reported to child and families. I reported some red flags at the beginning and the Principal ignored lies and inconsistencies from the teacher. when the situation was discovered , the Principal told me they acted professionally and that they cannot prevent this kind of situation . He told me that I was free to remove my son and take him to other school. The board of directors never answered me , and then I discovered a family relation between the Principal and Charter School USA founder. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
