Empowerment Academy Charter School

You can feel the positivity bouncing off the damn building, like in the movies 😂 my son was a “behavior problem” in his POS last school which will remain nameless . In such a short amount of time, his entire character has changed. He’s positive, uplifted, respected and respectful, and just his behavior alone speaks volumes of the things instilled at this school. He’s behind but they acted immediately in enriching his education. All the events they have for both the students and parents makes learning really enjoyable. The communication is top tier. And his teacher, Ms. Carcano, she’s amazing. The entire staff is very supportive of the students, they know all the students by name, and greet them with hugs and high fives; it’s heart warming to see. Thank you Empowerment for showing my baby such an amazing amount of love, y’all were the change he needed.

My daughter been there since Kindergarten. They helped me get the extra help she needed. They also communicate very well about the progress my child is making. She absolutely loves it there. I wouldn't change her school for nothing.

This school is the BEST education decision we have made for our son. We appreciate that the bar is set very high academically and socially for the scholars. But, specially, we appreciate that the wonderful teachers are there every step to ensure their scholars' success. (Ms. McDanel and Mrs. Whitehead are the BEST!) Everyone, from security guards to the Head Dean, greets each parent and scholar with a warm, personable, welcome. Communication lines are always open, so parents are always in the loop of how their scholar is doing. We can go on...but in short, we absolutely LOVE Empowerment!

So far my experience has been very positive. We did get off to a bumpy start at the beginning of the year but the administration and teacher were excellent when it came to communicating and correcting the issue that I had. Every time I send an email I get a response the same day. I love my daughters Kindergarten teacher and my daughter enjoys going to school every day. There is a lot of parental involvement; we have to sign reading logs every day, review homework, and review study guides with the child in preparation for the test on the material. My daughter’s teacher communicates with the parents daily through ClassDojo, I appreciate it because it lets parent’s know what the children are learning. So far so good. I will update my review at the end of the school year.

Update: 06.25.19 My daughter had an awesome Kindergarten experience. I am looking forward to another great year.

My daughter has gone here 3 years and now my son goes to Kindergarten. It's true that this school has rigorous academics, but I'm okay with high standards so long as the school commits to each child. And they have. My daughter struggled with reading in 1st grade. They offered her guided reading help before school at no charge for an entire month and now she's doing GREAT! :) I frequently email both my kids' teachers and express any concerns I have about homework or other issues that arise. They're super responsive and do whatever it takes to resolve my issues or answer my questions. Be prepared to be involved in your child's education or for sure, this school is not for you.

Empowerment Academy Charter school is the greatest school of all I feel. My daughter learns so much, she has me speechless half of the times. She as well enjoys the school too she feels safe too, as for me and her dad we feel this school is safe for her as well. As far as staff and puplis, I love them all give them A+. They should always know the staff is always appreciated. Thank you all!

I can't say enough about this school. It was tailor-made for my son. He has grown so much because of it. The teachers, along with all the staff, really care about the students and work endlessly to make sure each and every child excel. It is just the right mix of education and fun, unlike other charter schools. We are very lucky to have found Empowerment Academy!
