his school has unfair grading practices. Some kids exams are worth certain percentages and other kids are worth more or less and it's not in the child's benefit watch your report cards my sons was missing grades and when they updated it they reduced his final exam by 3 points with no explanation as to why when questioned they did fix it. The CEO used the excuse the computer changed the grade... Funny my computer never changes numbers on its own. Very Shady. My son does not do well in school and I thought he would have a better support system there but I was called about disciplinary problems and no one mentioned he was at risk for failing a class. He ultimitly failed . It was a mistake to send him. Parents beware!

This school has way too many students for its size. The classrooms are small and crowded. There were some classes in the past where there weren't enough seats for the students. The former CEO bragged about breaking all the fire codes. The teachers there are pretty nice but terrified of making even a single administrator slightly upset. There have been teachers who's contracts were not renewed because they disagreed with the administration or challenged a decision that was made because they didn't feel the students were safe. How in this day can we have an open campus where there is no speaker system or even locking doors on classrooms.

My children are greeted each morning by caring administrators before they enter the buildings. I have a 3rd grader and a 7th grader. If I need to speak to someone concerning an issue I am always accommondated. I even have the cell phone number of my oldest child's principal--in case I need to speak to her after hours. These educators are all about the children. It is the best decision I have ever made concerning my children. This is a school that values parents, grandparents, and ALL children. I am proud that my children attend the Sugra Valley Rural Charter School and that I have a choice in where they receive their education.

My daughter just started to attend this school and she seems to feel comfortable there. SVRCS has more flexibility than a normal public school and make every effort to include the parents in the child's educational experience. A 2 out of 10 score is only based on PSSA testing, which is unfortunate, since SVRCS offers so much more than standardized curriculum. This is a great school and I am SO THANKFUL to have this as an option for my child! THANK YOU!

The staff and students alike enjoy the small class sizes and there is a feeling of community when you enter the buildings. My children have learned more than just reading and writing while attending this wonderful establishment. There is a true commitment to the success of the students as individuals at the Sugar Valley Rural Charter School.
