New Century is a good school. We switched to the AB schedule this year. I DON'T like it. Also, we are connected to Columbia HS.
this school is really beneficial to my personal learning needs and it is in a really great environment.
I totally agree with the parent posting dated October 5. I have written, called and emailed a couple of teachers who obviously felt it was not in their job duties to communicate with me. Unfortunately, the administration of this school did not take my complaints seriously. My child failed the classes with these teachers and I feel this is a direct result from educators who simply did not care. Don't get me wrong - there are other educators at this school who will give above and beyond what I think a teacher should be willing to do. One class had a teacher leave mid-semester and there ended up being over seven substitutes for the remainder of the school year. It isn't unusual for a student to be uprooted from a class and switched to another teacher in mid-semester, further disrupting the learning process.
It is not so much that I disagree with the other reviews, but their experiences most certainly have been different. Some of the things I have seen are just unbelievable. Everything from teachers who make the (high school) students stand in a corner when they misbehave to, tutors who do not know the subject matter and some who do not understand the school policy. I thought it was a great idea that New Century was attached to Columbia High School, well this is far from true. New Century Students are not allowed to use the gym and cannot join in any of Columbia sports. This is sad and a detriment to our students educational experience. I have asked for a listing of my daughters teachers qualifications / education and have never received this information to date. There is much more!
