    "Please parents do not even think about puting your children in this school. This school makes children feel miserable.Your children will NOT have a social life. For Ms. Gray everything is about reading books and doing homeworks. I understand that children should do all of this but not in excessive. Please someone do something. Thank you."

    "I attended Gray Charter during the 05-07 years for kindergarten and first grade. In kindergarten, I developed a strong love for reading- in kindergarten you learn the basics like the seasons, the alphabet, and numbers up to 40 or so. By the time I got to 1st grade, I learned how to subtract by borrowing, how to add three-digit numbers, and more. The lower school classrooms were large and the kindergarteners had a playroom that we often visited. We didn t have a playground- we had a parking lot across the street. That was one bummer about the school. Like many schools in a city like Newark, there is no outdoor space. However, there was an upstairs gym we often used. If you are on honor roll at Gray Charter and in at least 1st grade, you qualify for violin lessons. At age six I learned to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Even when I was younger, Gray Charter was an excellent school. I don t know about now but I absolutely loved it then."

    "I heard about the bed bug problem after the fact. I think parents should have been notified immediately, only if your child's classroom was affected. If the problem was in a common area of the school all parents should have been notified. There had been some bullying going on (my opinion); which I think was not being taken seriously enough by the staff. Children do not talk about being bullied, nor do they confess about being a bully. Academically, I have no complaints. They lay it on pretty hard sometimes, especially in the early years; just getting them prepared for what is to come. I think the method plan works."

    "PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT *** BED BUGS**** Gray Charter School has NOT notified parents that they have found bed bugs at school. They are constantly promoting "health" with these seminars. But when its time to really promote health and safety of our families no notification is given. This needs to be addressed"

    "This is probably a great school, but my Granddaughter is only 4 and has over 2 hrs. homework everynite and on weekends. A child's first experience should be exciting, not laborsome. Children will learn eagerly when they feel good about themselves, but all this homework makes her feel she is not measuring up. She is a smart and active little girl, but she has lost some of her joy since attending Kindergarten here. Ms. Gray needs to rethink all this over the top homework."
