Pasadena Classical Academy

GO TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL!!!! The school has spiraled downward since last year. It is a joke! They are constantly asking for money for everything! They rarely go on field trips, it's more about expanding than the education & well being of the students. The mandatory uniforms are quite expensive yet they want your kids to run around and get them all messed up in P.E. & recess. If you're gonna make the kids run around in their uniforms you could at LEAST let them wear all black athletic shoes so they are not tearing up their nice ones after a month.nnI am also very much concerned with the lack of education going on here. My son constantly comes home with marks against him for the tiniest mistakes but when I check his homework, there are mistakes everywhere! How can he learn when his homework has errors? The teacher can't even calculate a percentage on a test correctly. I always check it and it's normally wrong.nnHis teacher always marks against him for talking but when I visit the school that's all she's doing is running her mouth and not even watching her students in the morning. Maybe if they gave my son his medication he would be able to concentrate better.nnGiving your child medication?nDon't even think about it. They rarely give it when they're supposed to and I've had to go up there and take it back because I cannot trust them to prescribe it as they were directed to. Last year my son only got his medication once a week at most when it was supposed to be given daily. Is there not a nurse here? If there is, I'm still waiting on you to return my message.nnStudents stealing?!?!? My son and another student has even complained about a certain kid in their class yet it's still going on! The kids a bully but the teacher doesn't even notice because she's busy gossipingnnThe staff all need to get on the same page with the rules...You can't half enforce rules and expect parents NOT to notice when you don't enforce 100% of the time. I was told as long as you have your car tag you can park and walk up and get your child. I did that a few times last year, and once this year...I was turned around by a staff member and told to get in line, and that it has always been like that...yet I see another parent doing the same thing all the time that I was told was not allowed.nnMy son has been out of the school for over a month now, let it go, and have a better year next year. Simple.

MY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN GOING TO THIS CHARTER SCHOOL FOR ALITTLE OVER 4 YEARS NOW AND IT HAS BEEN THE BEST THING FOR THEM. PUBLIC SCHOOL WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR THEM AND ONCE THEY ARRIVE AT THIS SCHOOL THEY DID A 180. MY CHILDREN CANT WAIT TO GET BACK TO SCHOOL AND HATE THE SUMMER BECAUSE THEY ARENT THERE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A ISSUE WITH THE STAFF AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Terrible school, teacher Ms Hill spends all the time in the hospital and almost never answers the messages and when and treats the students badly and when you go to the secretaries and want to talk to the principal always says that he is very busy and that he cannot attend you and that the teacher is also very busy.

My daughter love's it she can't wait to go back after summer

They go above and beyond to meet the needs of each child. They genuinely care about each student and work hard to help them be successful.
