Gray Charter is good academically but not really strong in the extracurricular side. School should be enjoyable for students. Yes academics is a big part of their life but students needs activities too! Also I see that some students have behavior issues and the principal doesn't do anything about it. Students shouldn't feel left out or be picked by other students. When entering a claasromm, students should feel safe and have a good feeling.

I also read the 'March 12, 2008' comment regarding 2nd graders reading non-fiction books and agree Non-fiction can be fun, too. But more than that, we must stop limiting our childre's ability to learn regardless of the subject matter or how difficult we percieve the work. We must encourage them to strive for the highest standard in all things if we want them to be successful. Children in other countries like China are kicking America's but academically because we're codling our children by setting limits on them. I love Gray Charter School and have sent both my children. My last is in the 3rd grade now and I take pride knowing that the standards are so high. My only wish for the school is more extra-curricular activities.

I was reading the comment below from a poster 'March 12, 2008' regarding second graders reading non-fiction books and taking the fun out of learning..... I totally disagree. My son is in the second grade this year and YES, second graders have to read non-fiction books, but it does not take the fun out of learning. I just bought my son a book called 'Who was Walt Disney?' This book was very interesting and fun to read and my son enjoyed it too. Just because its non-fiction, does not mean that its not fun to learn about it. Gray Charter School is a great school, I love the teaching and I don't know about the other second grade class, but Mrs. DeJesus takes time out and is very patient with the kids. She works with the children in areas and suggest programs to help aid them.

I am a student attending Gray Charter School. I have been attending this academic phenomonon since the fifth grade. I am now in my final year here at shool. Honestly, Gray Charter School has provided me with the academic basics needed for life. Since I have attended Gray Charterr, I feel more confident and I have also become more sociable.
