Middle School Student: I am currently in middle school at SCSC and I would consider it a second home. I believe the learning process is fit and customized to the student so that the student personally can grow as an individual in all kinds of aspects. The teachers and students are all very welcoming the moment you walk in. SCSC is not like other schools. I feel the diversity at this school is excellent. One thing that makes my school so unique is a little thing we call "100 Book Challenge". Each school day we read 30 minutes of a book of our choice that is our level. Based on the student's reading ability, we are matched with a level. We log a line every 15 minutes we read. The point of this is that if you reach a multiple of 100, you get awarded a medal and recognition of the entire school. I have not even scratched the surface of what makes my school unique and extraordinary compared to others, but I'm running out of room to write. (This only allows 1000 characters to be able to write)... Read 17 reviews

Alum: Newark Charter is the best by far in terms of academics and teacher support, but in terms of athletics it falls short with lack of certain sports such as fall. Now saying that I know that in the future they are going to have a team but unsure of when but are building the facilities to be capable to play football. So over all it’s a great school and was an amazing experience with friendly staff and teachers to aid students!... Read 103 reviews

Parent: Ithan is an absolute gem. The teachers and staff are the absolute best, providing an incredible learning support team to our children. Our children have thrived as learners thanks to Ithan. The curriculum that is offered fosters STEM and the arts. The community is the most diverse we’ve experienced in the Philadelphia suburbs which we believe contributes to Ithan being such an amazing, special place. To all the teachers and staff - thank you.... Read 5 reviews

Parent: Our AGCS journey started 12 years ago and will conclude in another four years. It has been a fantastic journey, without exception. Most importantly, the culture of positivity is palpable; from the top down and the bottom up. In today's environment of book censorship, cancel culture, and the ever-looming active shooter lockdown, the collective AGCS community has been steering this ship with determination, foresight, and transparency. Undoubtedly, there are days when parents wonder if this is the best fit for their kids. Reassuringly, after every school event, we concluded that the grass is not greener on the other side. The credit goes 100% to the teachers who tirelessly day in and day out dedicate their time and passion to teaching, mentoring, and guiding. The federal grant award toward a new State Road building is an incredible accomplishment by AGCS and I can only imagine what greatness will nucleate out of this (long overdue) new infrastructure. Congratulations Wolf Pack! #... Read 215 reviews

Parent: I was very unsure of what kindergarten to choose for my daughter because she has Autism and I wanted to make sure she got the in school services she needed. I’m so glad we decided to go with School Lane Charter. They have really helped her to excel. She started off this year really lacking confidence in her abilities, now at the end of the year she’s able to read on her own! If I could change anything I about it, it would be how early the school year begins / how late the school year ends. I’m sure some people may view that as a good quality but I personally think it’s a very long year and short summer, especially compared to most schools. I also wish there were more clubs for the younger students to join. However, school lane is overall a great school and I would recommend it to family and friends!... Read 39 reviews

Works Here: This school is filled with professionals that go above and beyond for their students. The amount of effort and care they put into their classrooms and the relationships they create with the students is admirable. Teaching is a job, but caring for the individual is embedded into this school. The staff truly care for one another and look to help each other in their educational efforts. The teachers are supported and there are ample opportunities for grants and monetary support for any instructional innovations. Every teacher is committed to the development of all of our learners and we truly care about the children's emotional and academic development.... Read 3 reviews
