The worst school ever. 1) This summer we filled out form, where we always choose "the blended learning" as many other parents. Now teachers state, that they teach only REMOTE. My daughter becomes tired, she can't sit all day near her laptop (they start study at 9 a.m. and finish at 4 p.m.!). The administration lied to us all summer about "blended learning"! 2) The program is terrible. They learn in the forth grade the same things we learned in the kindergarten (especially math) 3) Teachers don't know how to speak to children properly, mostly all of them refers to kids just as to a job! Teachers don't know how to teach, some haven't any experience 4) The days are too long, the school starts at August and finishes in June! Through students still know nothing about math or other important subjects. I WON'T RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL EVEN FOR MY WORST ENEMY!!!!!

We have two kids at Success Academy and we LOVE it. Our older child has been with Success for 6 years and now attends East Flatbush Middle School and our younger for 3 years at Cobble Hill. At the elementary school level, we really like their curriculum- they do project based learning on different topics like bridges (they build bridges with blocks, do science research projects on types of bridges, write journals as people who would have worked on the bridge, walk across the Brooklyn bridge, etc). The students went on 2 field trips a month, start learning chess in kindergarten, and have recess everyday. The kids also have art, music, and phys ed each week. In middle school, the students have trimesters and electives where they can take classes like debate, photography, theater and more. The teachers at both schools are really warm and they challenge each student to reach their full potential. The staff also provide their phone numbers and respond to any calls or texts within 24 hours. The pandemic has been tough of course, but the network decided early to go fully remote which made planning easier. The staff at both schools has done an amazing job of engaging my kids remotely and planning ways for kids to still get to know each other and make friends.

Success Academy is an amazing school and community!! While there are many choices in NYC to educate your child, we have felt truly blessed that we were selected in the lottery process when our child was 6 years old, now almost 12 and thriving during remote learning. Again, my gratitude goes to the school! While different news stories highlight controversial sensationalism, we as a family with Success for the last 6 years have only been met with support and guidance, from admin personnel to in class instructors. Their professionalism and respect coupled with swift reply exceeds my expectations. While nothing is perfect, we love Success because they keep evolving with relevance to feedback from families. Be advised that his charter system is for families who commit to rolling up their sleeves and getting involved with their children's progress to navigate the rigorous academic curriculum. This challenge really bonds the families as we help each other with advice and support. The teachers are like cheerleaders and I have seen so much hugging at pick up and drop off. In addition, there's an emphasis on multiculturalism that did not exist when I was school aged. Success Academy is renowned for academic prowess and performance but my child has also been enriched by the art, music, dance and performance curriculum that brings the parents to tears and laughter with each production. The parents who we've befriended are like family now. This school community has really touched our lives.

This school is not one for kids to go to not only does it give you a lot of work per class and not a lot of time to do it they also firing teachers left and right and they don't care much on students opinions
