Grand River Academy

They want to keep the hazing and abuses cases out of the press and media. After the recent Paris Hilton Documentary about the abuse by faculty at Provo in Utah I decided I can鈥檛 be silent anymore. At GRA the harassment, hazing and abuse was done by older students and approved by faculty. It was a way to keep their hands clean. They would lie to parents regularly and say that we were exaggerating or lying. My story reflects perfectly with the court case M.Y. v. Grand River Academy, 54 IDELR 255 (N.D. Ohio 2010). If you look at the base story of the case that is what many of use went through on a daily bases. This place should have been shut down long ago. Not to mention they would let in anyone with money. Including individuals who were so mentally disturbed one would go on to kill his father on Christmas Day and another kill his brother with a baseball bat.

This school has excellent academics and educators, and a great Principal. Great after school activities! We love this school! However, there needs to do a better job of assisting teachers with students that are a major destraction or have behavioral issues in the classroom, so that the educators can do their job to meet their goals. And so that those students that are a distraction can be in a learning environment that will get them excited about learning. This should be for all schools!

Awesame and exelente !!

Our children receive differentiated learning in the classroom. The teachers develop individualized, unique plans that challenge each of my children to grow academically each school-year.

Very happy with the school, teachers and education system.

I am happy with the school. But I felt they should have made the transition in the grades a bit more easy for kids. My daughter tells me that restrooms are very dirty and water fountains are leaking.

Good school..

My daughter is in first grade now and i am very satisfied with her growth in studies and reading. Their goals and standards are very high and the staffs are very good and hard working. I would recommend this school to anyone.

It's a high achievements and high

Although this is a new school operating only from last year, it has been exemplary in its principles and values. Extremely impressed and happy with the way the teachers have been teaching the kids and management being very responsible…Since we pulled our kid from the public school and put her in this school, our kid has adjusted very well and has been performing very well. We have seen a great improvement in her commitment levels and performance…greatly like the home work system this school has which brings in a lot of discipline…

I'm extremely happy and satisfied with my daughter going to Grand River Academy. Thanks to all the faculty and staff.

My over all experience with Grand River and especially with Mr. Harper has been very positive. The school places tremendous emphasis on academics. One area I would like to see more of is individualized learning and more feedback to the parents for an individual child's performance. Another area I would be hoping for improvement is in Improved Security. Given the school's location, i think some more arrangements for security on campus should be made.

I am honored that the school ensures the comparability and safety of our children. Meets all expectations

My first grader is learning so much… With wonderful teachers. Love that the principal is always out there in the mix of everything, he truly cares about our kids.

The Principle is very engaging with students and parents. The teachers love teaching and my son is doing well. They offer an excellent amount of after school programs. I would recommend this school wholeheartedly to anyone.

I am very happy with the way my child is being groomed academically as well as in extra curricular activities

not happy for a school of choice & the decisions you all make . The emence respect you have for having great numbers for the school & things that benifit the school bout not for real concerns that parents have making light of things that are serious issues listen to your parents if you can't show us loyalty then what's the point of assembly & quotes it seems to me to be alil if contradictions learn to be candid & stop putting the name of the school first the families make it !?

Good teachers & good principal and good dean.

The school is great

Staff is very great with communicating with parents.. Teachers are great with helping students reach there highest level academically.. Grandriver Is a great school all around..

grand river academy is a great charter school in
the area. principal harper and his staff is very dedicated.
well organised and success oriented team.

i hope they extend the current k-8 and include high school also.

GRA is an excellent school that is responsive to students and sets high expectations for academics and moral focus.

My Kid goes to kindergarten here, and was developed a lot with Reading and math skills. Nice environment and caring staff. Same time there will be equal responsibilities for parents to support their kid's growth. I recommend this school.

I think drop off process should involve parents dropping their children off in front of the door meaning using the circle . Instead of the children running through the parking lot I just had a child 鈥?out in front of my car because his parents dropped him off in the middle of the parking lot

Teachers -good.
curriculum -good
communication-great
pick up, drop off coordination-good
principal of the school – great person to lead the school,very patient and helpful
teachers- good but since kindergarten teachers switched each spring or winter break so nothing much to explain.
