Worst principal ever. She is a joke and so is this school. I encourage anyone who cares about their children to take your kids literally anywhere else. The teachers try, but are constantly beaten down by Michelle’s horrific behavior. Hope the board finally gives he the boot! OUR CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER!

When considering enrolling my child here, I was comparing this school to other Charter schools in the area. This one happens to be closest to my home. The principal would not answer my questions directly and became very defensive when I asked her to elucidate the school's mission and how it's different than WCSD schools being it's a charter school and yet its average test scores across all classes is near failing. I don't feel the mission of this program is truly engaging and it doesn't seem this individual charter school is exceptional in any way other than just 'being there'.

The administration is horrible! The principal abuses her power for personal gain. She should be fired!

Great staff very friendly. 31 students in the kindergarten class. Wish it was smaller.

Our school is awesome!! We are a free of choice charter school with small class sizes. We are however, in desperate need of funds to open our Library. We have the building on our location, but it does not meet fire codes and needs some electrical upgrades. Please help us fund a Library for our deserving students.

Bailey Charter is a fantastic school! The people who have commented below should visit the school and see how things have changed over the years. Each of my kids has gone through the school in the past nine years, and I wouldn't want them anywhere else. My youngest is in 4th grade, and there are 12 students in the class. They do have PE once a week, and a very nice computer lab this year.

I am not sure of what this school has to offer that is different from a school in the WCSD. There are no special classes at this school, i.e.: music, PE, computers, etc. They are in year four of needing improvement according to No Child Left Behind, and it does not appear that they are getting closer to reaching their goal. WCSD schools have so much more to offer in terms or activites, support, and curriculum. If you are considering sending your child to this school please consider all of the other options.
