Carefully weigh the pros--a challenging, college prep curriculum, against the cons--a lower high school GPA. Compass teachers are trained in Love and Logic philosophy, meaning students learn when they suffer consequences for their choices. The result is a "no excuses" atmosphere. Late work is unacceptable.
The following are typical experiences.
One student failed a high school class when a computer glitch prevented a service log from being submitted on time.
Another forgot to change an online setting to "public," resulting in 4 students receiving a zero on a final group project.
Another missed 2 days of school for a musical ensemble recording session in another state. He emailed his teachers before he left. One teacher said she would email him the assignment, but didn't send it until the day before it was due. She refused to grant an extension.
K-5 students shed tears over completed worksheets inadvertently left at home. Zero.
They're all told, "I hope you learn from this!"

I love Compass Public Charter School. The teachers are accommodating and teach the concepts rather than facts that need to be memorized. Their highest priority is your success, and it shows. The experience is pretty positive as most everyone is focused on their academic growth. The only disadvantage to attending Compass is that there are less sports and community spirit than a larger public school. Overall, I would give a Compass a Five out of five stars because the teachers and academic success.
This school needs more staff. The school's food is disgusting and is sometimes raw. They constantly change the food on the menu without letting us knowing. It depends if you get a good teacher or not. It's just luck. They even have a small group with all of the smarter people just to make us average kids feel bad. Sometimes they'll even have a dumb people group, too. In middle school you still have to walk in lines and the only excuse they have is that the school is tiny. I wouldn't recommend this school. Find another school to go to.
