Research Freedom Academy High School public Schools in Port Chester, New York

“The school has committed teachers. I am disappointed that the parents are not taking an active role in the education of their children. The parent turn out was poor at our P.T.A. meeting. Only with strong parent body can we get this school off the ground. How can we help the teachers teach in the parents are not interested..”

“The principal and assistant . principal at Freedom Academy are great. I never had any problems getting my phone calls answered. The school has great teachers, one guidance counselor who is great. The dress code is strict with the uniform. However, the school doesn't live up to the expectations that I was placed in the HS book. I had my child select this school based on what was written in the book. There are no music, art, sports or other extracurricular activities. It is shared space with FEGS. It doesn't have a high school feel to it at all. I am taking my child out of the school because she needs a more challenging environment.”

“There are not much academic programs. The level of parent involvement are very low. From my experience, parents and students are very frustated. Parents issues and concerns are never solved therefore; parents are getting less involved because they feel it is a waste of their time. I am very disappointed with this school. The information advertised in the Public High School book is not correct!”

“My daughter has been at this school for 3 wks now, so far the small class sizes, strict mandatory uniform, dedicated teachers and everyday homework that was mandated in the school's policy has been lived up to. I am satisfied so far.”

“I am less than satisfied with Freedom Academy, moreso because of the administration than anything else. The principal is an educrat and does not respond or feel the need to respond to parents inquiries or their needs or issues. She is fantastic at stalling and making you wait until you give up, since you have a job and a life to lead. Being in the school is what she does so she is content with causing you to wait, particularly when she doesn't want to talk to you anyway. She believes Freedom Academy is HER school and she runs it like that. Involved parents are a nuisance to her. Children that have an opinion is an annoyance to her and she will do all in her power to have your child removed if they do not conform to her vision, which means shut up. And the parents too.”
