Charter Oak High School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-11-24 “I went to CO for all four years of high school and graduated with an IB-diploma. People complaining about academic rigor have obviously not taken any of these courses, some of which are 2-year classes put into a single year. IB not only prepared me well for the University setting but gave me a full year of credit saving me thousands. Additionally the counselors are very helpful and helped me get a full ride to my university. As for sports I swam and had a great time, nothing bad to say about it. Most teachers I had were excellent but one of them, who happened to have recently gotten in trouble over the yearbook, was too political in the class room. It was English, but she continually pushed her own views on religion/politics and graded based on favoritism. I earned a 6 on the IB exam, she gave me a B.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2008-10-22 “i just got transferred out of charter oak and thought i should make a review of there school. first of all there academics are okay but they teach there students like if there idiots. i had left azusas district with great grades but still had to repeat the same science and algebra 1 in my freshmen year.the kids are nice bt they are always to themselves and kinda snobby. the teachers cant even teach. im happy im transferring but kinda nervous.all in all i think u shouldnt have any problems in this school kid wise just academic wise.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-06-18 “i like this school. some teachers are alright but mainly the students. i LOVE the athletic sports. they really whip my school into shape.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-05-22 “This school is okay - it's a typical American high school - too much focus on social events, and not enough academic rigor. This school like many others are struggling with students and parents that are really not interested in participating in the education process. There certainly are teachers that should retire because they are no longer excited about teaching - and I'm sure its due to a multitude of issues ...politics, parents, and the lack of student involvment. Teachers deserve better pay, however I'm a believer in pay for performance, therefore if teachers cannot engage the students - they should not be compensated for status quo and/or poor performance. For those teachers that inspire students to preform academically and in practical applicaiton which is to apply basic learned principals those teacher deserve not only the merit increase but annualized bonuses. Academic Acheivement + Pratical Application = Increase Salary.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 1 2007-12-01 “This is a very hostile environment to teach in. The former administrators (which now are leading at the district level) are incompetent leaders. They don't know how to budget, they nurture negative attitudes, and reprimand teachers for requiring basic skills in assignments (ie. writing in complete sentences). As a parent mentioned earlier, they don't even budget for photo copies. There is a high turn over rate of teachers for a reason. As a parent, and a teacher, I would not send my child here.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-11-26 “I absolutely love Charter Oak. It doesn't only offer one thing like sports or academics, but also includes personality and school spirit something that will never die here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-08-12 “My daughter attended 2007 school year and I didn't feel that the teachers, nor the counselers help encourage any of the students to excel. I think that Charter Oak School District WAS once a great district and now no longer.” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2007-07-25 “I go to Charter Oak High School, and even though it does not have the greatest education opportunities, it does offer the International Baccalaureate program, and those that choose to participate in it get a top notch education. Also, Charter Oak offers great extracurricular activities with its award winning drama program, choir program, and band.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-06-17 “My son just graduated on 6/14/07. He attended all four years at Charter Oak, and not once did he have to write a research paper. He wrote a minimal amount of essays, as well. So how is he prepared for college?” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2007-06-05 “I graduating from Charter Oak I got accepted to Howard University Fine Arts Department. I've now graduated with a BFA.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-06-01 “I have a son at this school, and I think it is great. Very organized. The counselors are very attentive to the students. They go out of their way to accomodate student needs-free tutoring, night school, summer school, etc. Athletics is where you will find the most parental involvement and school pride, especially at the Friday night football games-not en empty bleacher to be found!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4
