My son has excelled in the time he has attended this school. He loves the smaller classes and enjoys his teachers.

If you have to check the student out early, allow plenty of time because the process is very slow. The principal is hard to get along with. She cares only about rules and not about the students or parents. Students are not progressing well, and I fear they will be far behind when entering high school. Some teachers are great but no attempt is made to remove the bad teachers. Car pool is torture.

All of my children have attended Cherokee Charter Academy and we are very happy with the education they have received. My older children who have attended have been extremely prepared for high school and both are testing and taking higher classes than the average student.

This is our 2nd year at CCA. As a publicly funded charter school, I knew it wasn’t going to be the same expectations as a private school. However, the school has provided an overwhelmingly better experience for our children than we had in our local public education. Smaller classrooms sizes, direct communication with teachers and staff, and immediate resolution to parental concerns by staff and faculty are just a few of the major differences that have created a an overwhelmingly better experience for our family. In addition, one of our children has an IEP which was rarely Accommodated to our satisfaction by our public schools, and I often felt that staff had made his education far more difficult. I worried that transferring to CCA would mean that his IEP would not be supported for lack of resources; however I could not have been more wrong. CCA has done a fantastic job working with my son and he is finally integrated into a general population classroom with confidence. My children feel safe, are making friends, and excited to be involved in after school activities. I highly recommend this school for children of all varying Educational development!

We’re very happy with the school overall. There is room for improvement in certain areas, but that’s every school. Teaching styles, curriculum, staff, student engagement & events are some of the things we’re happy with.

I absolutely love how CCA is like a family. The art and music teachers are fabulous!

I would not recommend this school for a multitude of reasons.

The school principal is afraid of confrontation and avoids making decisions on issues that are, or appear to be, controversial. Ineffective teachers are tolerated, and no action is taken to remove them. The school principal does not visit classrooms and does not provided constructive feedback to teachers.

Poor. The school puts a lot of pressure on the parents to donate money and time but they do not put as much effort in education or protecting the kids. We have invested almost $2000 in the school in two months but received no help in dealing with issues. The teacher implied that the issue was caused by my child I would not recommend this school.

The students are great, as well as the receptionist. The administration and specifically the middle school teachers (mostly) are trash. There is no accountability within the faculty, however, always a bias toward the student body. Further, their personal feelings often influence their responses instead of responding maturely, as actual adults and within the confines of the school procedures. Take a look at the formal complaints filed on this school to the GA Dept of Education....I have.

Poor. No library? Teachers do not read to their students.

Horrific experience over the last year, bullies are not disciplined, children with disabilities aren’t handled properly- staff has no control over classrooms.

There is no longer a STEM program at Cherokee Charter. Using the donated funds for the garden. The STEM program is one of the perks as to why I enrolled my child.

Teacher turnover, and luck of the draw or favoritism to get good teachers. The ASP program is awfully managed, petty 3 strike rule punishes working parents and they run it like a daycare with no structure.

This is our 1st year at the school and love it. The teachers are engaged with the children and create a hands on learning environment. I particularly love the involvement from parents and how they are connected with the school.

My Children have EXCELLED in this school. My youngest has been in the school since it started. She has been in it since kindergarten. I can say nothing but good things about ALL the teachers they have. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the high school comes back.

My son attended this school for years from grade 5-8. Please do not send your children here for middle school. They are lax, and coddle the kids here. They are given multiple attempts to retake tests and there is no accountability in turning in late work. Students do learn, but it fosters a culture of laziness. When they hit local high school they are unprepared for the honors and AP classes and the accountability that goes with it. The Spanish and Algebra have been poorly taught at thus school. Stay away from this school if you want your kid to be prepared for real life high school.
