Broward Community Charter West

Posted October 11, 2008

As a parent at BCCS-West I am truly happy with the teachers at this school. They are dedicated, supportive and committed. It is too bad that administration is not. Administration is more concerned with their idle chit chat than supporting the very reason they are in existence, the students and teachers. Administration allows a parent to offer car detailing once a week and charge $15.00 for the service. Half supposedly goes back to the school, but I am sure that barely covers the water and electric usage for this service. Since when do parents get to run businesses out of their child's school? Please get your priorities together and put the students and teachers first.

A PTO's JOb is Fundraising for the school and that is why they talk about money. Last year in the small building there were computers in every room. Eventually there will be computers in every room and/or a computer lab, The Library will be done by the end of the year. There are still several positions open on the PTO, so if anyone is interested in doing something other than Fundraising and/r complaining than they are more than welcone to join the Board and help out. Parent Participation is very big at a Charter School. A Charter School is a Choice. The Building is New and needs a lot of things. The Principal is there from 7am till 9pm almost every single day working for our children. It is really an excellent school having growing pains. Get involved..

I can rate this school because we are new in this school as well. The truth is I am very disappointed about this school too. The school is very unorganized. But I also say it to myself: the school is new, and I will give them time. My kid did not get what they suppose to get at his grade level. They do not have enough class book to study, no equipment at all, no library, no computer, etc.... And all they need and talk about at PTO is Money

I put my child in a charter school thinking he would get a better education than in a public. I was wrong. This school has become disorganized & chaotic under the new management. The teachers seem stressed & unhappy most of the time. For these & other reasons, I decided to put my child in public school this year. My child was always on the honor roll each year. Now I find out he is behind the other public school kids in math because he was not taught certain things at the charter school. So much for charter schools giving our children a better education!
