“I am a student attending Gray Charter School. I have been attending this academic phenomonon since the fifth grade. I am now in my final year here at shool. Honestly, Gray Charter School has provided me with the academic basics needed for life. Since I have attended Gray Charterr, I feel more confident and I have also become more sociable.”

“Overall Gray Charter School does have high expectations for it's students. However, I am concerned that sometimes they may not always give the students grade appropriate work. For instance, I was informed that the book reports for the 2nd grade will be only non-fiction chapter books. It's ok to expect high standards for the kids but don't take the fun out of learning.”

“My son goes to Gray Charter School and is in Ms Blackwell and Ms. Salles class. These are two great teachers and my son has learned beyond my expectations. Ms. Gray runs a great school and my son has fully amazed me. He only has been in the school only a couple of months and he is reading words that I could not beleive that a child of 5 yrs old can cope. Yeah for Gray Charter, these teachers and Ms. Gray has done a tremendous job.”

“My daughters enjoy attending Gray. They are challenged every day and are excited to return.”

“My daughter is just about to complete her 2nd year at the Gray Charter School. The sum of our experiences there have been pleasing. My daughter constantly amazes me with her continual academic progress. She enjoys going to school each day (which begins @ 7:30 a.m.) and to that I also credit her teachers and Ms. Gray. Her teachers have been genuinely caring and responsive. I try to interact with them as much as possible i.e. parent/teacher night, chaperoning field trips. My only concern would be the high teacher turn-over. I've noticed many new faces at the beginning of the '06-'07 school year. I also would like for computer literacy classes to begin in lower grades and more extracurricular activities. Mrs. Hancock”

“This school was a big disappointment for me. The teacher picks on the students instead of helping them. If your child was not a honor student, your child would not be recognized. Instead of helping the student who need academic help, teacher would say they have a behavioral problem. I asked numerous time for tutoring for my child and my requests were ignored. Some teachers would judge a student before knowing them. These teachers do not care about these students. There was only one teacher I know that care and it was Mrs. Hobday. She would call you if there was a problem with your child. If I need to talk to my daughter's teacher I would get the run around. It was a horrible experience.”

“My child has attending Gray Charter School since kindergarden. My opinion of the school varies with different areas. Academically, the school is superior. The students are learning, the school is safe and small classes aid in their overall academic experience. Unfortunately, the small school population has its drawbacks. Because the environment is small, teachers often have preconceived opinions about students even before they have them in class. In addition, there are no extra-curricula activities at the school. There is violin but only 25 students are allowed to study it per year. The school offers a parent academy, however the prrincipal limits participation to 10 parents. The Academy asked to expand to overall population however that request was denied. Seriously way your options before enrolling your child or stay closely involved if you decide to enroll your child. Best wishes.”

“The Gray Charter is wonderful School if your serious about educating, giving your children the best developed education there is in the city of Newark!”

“From an academic stand point, this school has well educated teachers who are willing to give as much education to their students as possible. The students are able to achieve alot. From a professional stand point, teachers are not treated as fairly as they could be by administrators.”

“Gray Charter is a good school. The principal, Ms. Gray, is wonderful...very involved and very aproachable. My daughter is definitely learning a great deal. Her teacher is very responsive to her needs and she keeps me informed of her progress all the time. My daughter learns a great deal from the special projects, book reports, and extra help. All that and she is only in the 1st grade! I just wish they would stress the math more. I don't think they are where they should be in that department. Overall, I am very pleased.”

“It's a good school my daughter attends gray charter and their curriculum is phenomenol. The kids are respectful. The teachers are friendly. Overall I am pleased with Gray Charter.”
