Bushwick Ascend Charter School in Brooklyn, New York

Concerned Parent rated Bushwick Ascend Charter School (1/5 stars) on 10/21/2014

This school's leadership is so unorganized and unprofessional. They speak to us as if our opinions about our children do not matter. So many teachers have quit already and it is not even November! Students with IEP's are not getting their mandated services due to lack in staffing. As parents, we are kept in the dark. Leadership is not forthcoming, open, or honest. Rather, they are deceiving and often times disrespectful. I have witnessed a member of leadership show disrespect to a teacher, which explains why teachers look so exhausted, drained, and frustrated. I don't blame them! My child only has 20 min to eat silently, and 15 min of recess. There is supposed to be an open-door policy, and yet parents have been turned away when shown up. I sent my child to this school thinking it was a better alternative to the public school next door, but it seems that's not be the case. What a shame.
