Research Academy of Cleveland Elementary charter Schools in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

“Academy of Cleveland has an excellent program in special education. The teachers are strong, smart, and willing to do what it takes to get kids to learn. Students there really learn what they need to know the way they learn it best.”

“2007 school year will be the 3rd year I have had children that attend Academy of Cleveland. Mrs Harris and staff have been tremendously helpful in my children's education. When first starting my kids were having difficulty adapting to a new school, because they came from a school with a lot of discipline issues.The staff didn't judge them or hold their behavior against them. Overall helping with behavior at home. My son and I had a bad experience with a teacher and Mrs Harris handled it professionally and promptly. They are a blessing to this community and I only wished they went up to the 12th grade!!!!!!!!!!”

“My son was a kindergartner in this school he learned so much in one year. His teacher and teacher asst was very formative about my his learning style and daily performance. The principal is great and open for questions. This school is all about education and safety.”

“Academy of Cleveland needs to spend more time teaching the children instead of always disciplining them for talking. If they took the energy to teach the children would get better test scores because they would know what it is that they need to know for their grade. They have computers but they are hardly used by the students and its alot of writing assignments for talking and not enough school material being taught. They need to be more professional. Teaching the children should be their first concern. They have alot of work to do to get the children up to their grade levels. Learning should be a fun experience.”

“the school was very good to my children. the teachers had a good inpact on all of my children lives. i do not agree with renee. the principle is very professional and so are the teachers. the only issue i had was with the teachers aid, i brought this issue to mrs. harris and it was dealt with right then and there and i am sorry that renee felt that way about the school but is a very good school.”
