Chester Academy Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-12-18 “Chester Academy has gone through some rough times but I think the new Principal along with the Assistant Principal are doing a wonderful job! They are trying new and innovative things and the overall 'energy' at the school is a lot more positive then it used to be! They have hired a lot of great new teachers that I find 'refreshing'. My young children have even commented on how different their ideas are in the classroom! I think this school is going in a great direction and my children are doing great! Their teachers consistently go above and beyond what they need to do for my children! Keep up the great work! I am optimisitc that our school will continually get better!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-05-15 “I've had four children attend Chester Acad.My children attended from 1993 -2005.The level of parent involvement is good.Availability of programs is good.Academics is another story. Some of the teachers at CA are great,some teachers are burnt out! And some of the great teachers either retired or left. And I lost count of the amount of school principals CA has had in the past 12 years!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-05-11 “Chester academy used to be a great school - they have made way too many changes in their curriculum over the years again and again. They should have stuck with what was working. Unfortunately I still have a child in the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-05-11 “Very poor quality school. Favoriets are played with coaches and teachers. Curriculum is poor, changed too many times over the years - as have the principals. I don't know why people move to Chester.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-03-25 “I've had 3 children go through CA over the course of 8 years and have found the school to be mediocre at best. Some teachers are excellent (esp. grades 1-3), but many of the upper grade teachers are simply awful. They lack creativity, and as others have pointed out, they do little to inspire students. They lack professionalism & talk to the kids like they are peers! If you're moving to Chester (which is a beautiful town), check into private schools in the area.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-01-21 “This is my daughters third year at ca and i am very pleased i have not always agreed with certain things but i think that is found in life in general. My child has many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities and i as parent also have had many chances to get involved. The teachers and the pto communicate quite well. If my daughter has had a problem academically or otherwise i have had no problem getting it resolved. I also think the new asst. Principal is doing a great job.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-11-15 “My children have been provided with a very good educational program and I've found the school to be responsive to any parent concerns.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-10-10 “They have put far too much pressure on the kids for the testing that is occurring now.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-10-03 “Chester Academy is very disappointing. There is so much emphasis on making the grade and passing the State test that the students' needs are overlooked. We need to go back to the basics--literally. There has been so many changes with the curriculum that the teachers can't retool between academic years and everyone is lost. Our new principal is more concerned with looking good than with being good. What happened to recess? The kids need downtime. Too many changes too quickly makes for huge cracks for students to fall into--all students. What has happened to Chester Academy? It used to be a really good school, or so I thought.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-06-06 “I noticed all basically negative reviews of C.A. I on the other hand have had nothing but a positive experience with the special ed department. This is especially true for the teachers and speech, occupational and physical therapists. My child's needs were caught early and he entered the preschool at age 3 with an integrated classroom. I do understand that the speech therapy department is understaffed. However, I have not seen that issue. At this time, my review is a positive one. Hopefully it will not change. I recommend this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-01-30 “I've lived here 15+ years. The school is the same. I have 1 child left in elementary, I am so disgusted with the teachers, they have such poor educational attitudes. I did a classroom observation, I was shocked how learning was passed over so many kids heads, and they lost out because they didn't get it, the teacher never noticed or cared. It's more important to give a grade than to learn something here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-11-12 “Most of the regular teachers push through the curriculum, don't offer extra help and never communicate with parents. They are not open to different teaching styles to reach more of the children. Your child is on their own to sink or swim. I'm looking into private school because I am so disgusted.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2004-11-09 “I have 2 children in this school and am very disappointed w/the quality of the education in general. Most of the teachers are unwilling to be creative in their learning style so as to connect with a greater number of students. I feel the staff tells you what you want to hear and then does what they want, which is nothing. I don't feel this school is preparing my children academically and am contemplating private school or moving.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-09-30 “Sadly, this school is not equipped to provide a meaningful education to children with accelerated learning abilities. Teachers & administration show very little creativity & flexibilty in their ability to develop productive educational approaches for this population. The educational mindset of this school does not corresponded to validated best pratice approaches for gifted & talented students. The bottom line: If your child is bright,look elsewhere.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-09-27 “The special ed dept. is very poor in overall help for the kids with any kind of special needs. They simply have too many case loads and not enough staff. Budget issues and state funding add to the neglect in this area.”
