KIPP Academy Elementary School

Compared to the quality of education, engagement and hospitality my son received at Harlem Children Zone this school (particularly this location) has been very unorganized, and inflexible considering such unprecedented times (Covid-19 and remote learning. For example, I am a Full time MSW student, which requires me to Participate in an internship in addition to course work, I am also a single mother that works and this school has lacked the understanding that parents have lives and responsibilities and may not be able to meet deadlines and due dates. My son was penalized in the sense that the school arranged to have the entire class dress up in costumes and my son was excluded because he did not hand his assignment in. Anyone with kids must understand how extremely devastating that can be especially under the circumstances their recreation is limited this school year. And also because it was not his fault that the assignment wasn’t submitted on time but mine due to an extreme school and work load.nnIf this was an incentive to encourage more students to submit assignments, then I think the school should consider putting their efforts into finding out why students are having trouble submitting assignments, and then collaborate on solutions to meet those challenges..... Instead of penalizing students for circumstances that may not be in their control. Rewarding some and penalizing others creates division and isolation under already strenuous circumstances. I’m seriously considering removing my son mod school year and I’m praying that another school will accept him this late. Seriously consider other Charter schools. HCZ has an amazing program, teachers and staff.nnClass: HarvardnTeacher: Ms. Tormey & Ms. Jones

The fact that they don't have any accommodation for disabled parents to pick up their children and they want them to do things that they can I do I think it's very sad Miss Grove herself which is the principal is very foul I really do. but the teaching is very well my son is living things that my first son didn't even know what his age

What kind of u school learn that why. I don't think so. It's me said doesn't go enter nothing been that why. I won't over that why. I don't miss u nooo way. It's me said mad me send everything that why.

My son will be going there in a few weeks I'm very excited they seem like a really good school and my lil cousin goes to the one in Brooklyn and she smart and respectful.

I love the school so much my girl always get good grades in the school
