Success Academy Harlem 5

The Staff (Leaders) are young, overpaid, overworked, stressed, inexperienced and Unprofessional. Their means of dealing with children include yelling, calling parents several times or more a day, calling school safety and sending them to hospitals for hyperactive behavior. The school is a tyrant and a child cannot learn under this environment at Harlem 5. My son and I have been yelled at by the teachers, administrative staff and Dean. I have had the phone blatantly hung up on me, been to over two dozen «meetings» with the school in regards to my sons behavior and my requests have been disregarded. My 6-​YEAR OLD 1^st grade son has been called a «problem child» and blacklisted right in front of him! I cant wait, I hope and PRAY that Harlem 5 is recognized for their poor social standards by the DOE and that they see this charter school for what it really is… SHUT IT DOWN, Put the money into these Public schools or anywhere in dire NEED, NOT into the Out-​Of-​State/​City teachers unfamiliar with dealing with our children. I WILL not rest.
* 12÷3÷2015 * I just want to update that so very many other parents feel the exact same way. Here is some news on the way they discipline students (abusing 911 system) like other horrible schools that our tax dollars inevitably go to. Please complain via email and/​or find a free student advocacy attorney to represent you and your child 212.417.3700
