"I echo the sentiments of the March 18th post. As a former employee, I will attest to many of these concerns(and have stated as such to the Charter office at San Diego City schools and in a published article outlining many of the problems). On top of the very average curriculum and a number of policies carried out by the administration that are 100% detrimental to students achievement, there is an atmosphere of fear at the school that make it very hard for good teachers to be both the professionals they need to be and the advocates of kids that I feel is required. This is a school that needs to have serious light shone into all aspects of its management. There is a lot of good in the program worth salvaging. With ethical and caring administrators, CSSD might pull itself out of this lowly ranking."

"Let me just say that in my 11 years of schooling I have never seen a school more unproductive, more uncaring, and more unfocused than the Charter School of San Diego. I was a student at the Woodman branch for 2 years. I learned absolutely nothing. The school teaches through nothing more than elementary school designed lesson guides, and their focus is on everything that doesn't relate to college. I write this letter as a way of communicating to people out there that this school should undergo a major academic enlightenment, or completely shut down. I am no longer a student at this school (thank God), I was lucky enough to get accepted into a more academically prestigious charter school called Health Sciences High and Middle College. I hope someone reads this letter and is inspired to change the Charter School of San Diego system for the best. I would not recommend this school to anyone. As a closing, let me just say that the teachers at the Charter School of San Diego are fraudulent and don't care about the students at all."

"My son attends The Charter School of San Diego. Before he started attending this school my son hated school. He was lost with all of his classes. The Charter school of San Diego's model of giving one or two classes at a time, and having wonderful motivating teachers, has really changed my son's belief in himself. My son's teacher, Mr. Armstrong, took him from wanting to dropout to being a successful college student. This school gets five stars."

"My daughter was never really motivated in school, even as a young child. Due to a learning disability, I transferred her to Charter and it was the best thing we ever did. Small class size and 2 teachers were just what she needed to get that 'spark'. Children learn differently, and I feel if it wasn't for Charter, she would have dropped out. Now she is a Senior with straight A's."

"Charter School of San Diego has a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and high expectations of teachers. The students have the scheduling flexibility to begin to pursue their careers without sacrificing their academic work. Our family is grateful for the careful attention to students and the excellent assistance students receive."
