I went here for 8th grade, and oh my God this school sucks.
A majority of the staff are disrespectful, rude, and unprofessional. I’ve been constantly ignored when I was visibly struggling and/or upset, as well as being ignored when I’m asking for help. There’s little to no accommodations for Disabled, Neurodivergent, Mentally Ill, and Special ED kids. I’m both Mentally Ill and Neurodivergent as well as possibly physically disabled, and I’ve been treated like a burden and like I’m being dramatic for it. I was screamed at because a teacher thought I was being sexual when my partner was hugging me because I was bawling my eyes out, but she didn’t care about that. I’ve also been misgendered and deadnamed an appalling amount of times despite me having explicitly stated I’m transgender and go by a specific name and pronouns. The school has little to no respect for queer students, and they don’t even allow any sort of pride stuff on any form of school property. Kids have said homophobic slurs, as well as ableist and racist slurs, while also being blatantly bigoted, and suffered zero consequences while I’ve been yelled at for jokingly saying I’m the gayest person you’ll ever meet. Not to mention my deadname was put in the yearbook and was almost put on my graduation diploma. IEPs and 504s are constantly disrespected, bullying is ignored and treated incredibly poorly, and the safety of students is not taken very seriously. Also I’m pretty sure almost all of the staff are looking for a power trip considering how badly I’ve been treated.

Don’t go there if you want your child to be bullied and come home with drawings on their body for another student. The teachers won’t help your kid with the bullying.

After years of sending my kids to Strong Foundations my wife and I experienced many unfortunate situations and finally made the move to pull them. There are some great teachers there don't get me wrong but the way the school is run overall and the lack of ability to handle problem children (bullies) and communicate with parents is horrible. Again there are a lot of great teachers and teachers helpers there. But unfortunately they are in the middle of a school system that is run very poorly.

Really sad and concerning situation at this school and their lack of support for LGBTQ+ students. The board and director's vendetta against identity affirming flags should concern all community members.

Do not send your children to this charter school. Rampant drug use. Physical beatings that the school does nothing about. They are pro religion and try none stop to indoctrinate your child into praying and going to church. The owner principal only cares about money and charges for everything. They throw events and normal schools provide This school gives a gift to students achievements but makes them pay huge money to go on the outing That was supposed to be a congratulations you graduated trip. They lie through their teeth until you give up and call the police Then they do something about the awful physical violence and bullying in the school. Bare minimum. They say fun day for the kids to celebrate and it's a tarp on the floor with soap to slide on for teenagers They charge for the popsicles.

You forget to put a payment in for lunches and they threaten you calling you a bad parents and not providing for your child I have the email.

save your kid and don't go here it's an awful environment full of teachers who got their teaching over online religious college courses. They teach nothing Instead talk about God

dangerous school the principal teachers and staff are unsafe and vile people

My child has been going to this school since second grade. We left the Manchester school district. The school is extremely proactive. They provide not only support to the child but also to the family. Any concerns I’ve had have been adjusted immediately. My child likes to go to school. And also is part of the special education team. They listen to my child’s needs as well as my own concerns. This is an amazing school with a great foundation that is embracing, nurturing and allows a child to grow at their own pace

SFCS incorporates the Choose Love curriculum and teaches their students to be caring, compassionate and just plain NICE individuals. If you have ever seen the bulletin boards that are done at SFCS and the things that the students write that are posted on those bulletin boards, they will make you cry and your heart melt.

Leadership at Strong Foundations is very good. Teachers are leaders in their classrooms and teach their students how to be leaders and what true leadership is.
As for communication at this school, I have NEVER been so informed of everything that goes on in a school as I am with this school. Teachers, the Principal and the secretary keep parents informed consistently of anything and everything going on at school. A parent can't ask for more than that!

Posted: April 20, 2020

Strong Foundations goes WAY above and beyond for students with learning differences. Our Special Education Case Manger is one in a million and does everything possible to be sure students get what they need and more.

Posted: April 20, 2020

Bullying is NOT tolerated at Strong Foundations. It's addressed immediately when brought to the administrations attention.

Posted: April 20, 2020

My children excelled way beyond my hopes and expectations at Strong Foundations. Whomever wrote the comments on December 20th and April 6th, clearly don't have their facts straight not to mention the spelling errors in their review. It's sad to see something like that pegged on a school that has high standards, incredibly dedicated teachers and a principal that has nothing but students and their education on the top of her priority list on a daily basis! Wherever this person got their facts from on their comments is absolutely INCORRECT, INVALID AND DISGRACEFUL. If this person had an issue they should've taken it to the administration instead of cowardly posting it on a website.

Teachers are thorough at what is expected with homework and are very supportive of their students!!!!!!

Posted: April 20, 2020

SFCS teachers go ABOVE AND BEYOND for their students. The commitment and dedication to their students is like nothing I've ever seen. The creativity they have is over the top and the support they give their students is humbling. Talk about going above and beyond for their students. That's what the teachers at SFCS do!

I love it! My children are strong learners now because of the teachers there.

Posted: April 20, 2020

There is a Guided Study period for older students when they can get teacher help and a free after school homework club for middle school students. My younger child got homework help in the extended day program.

Posted: April 20, 2020

The teachers are there because they love to teach, not for the money.

Posted: April 20, 2020

This is a Responsive Classroom school. They have a Core Virtue they study each month. They were one of the first schools in the state to adopt the Choose Love program.

Posted: April 20, 2020

The principal encourages families to let her know their concerns. The teachers expect children to do their best.

Posted: April 20, 2020

My children were identified with learning differences, and they learned to read and do math at grade level.

Posted: April 20, 2020

They have a good bullying policy in their handbook. I have not experience a problem with it.

Posted: April 6, 2020

1 This school is not a place I would recommend sending your children to. They will destroy your children's thirst for knowledge and make them Dredd going to school.

Posted: April 6, 2020

No support for the kids when they do not understand the homework.

Posted: April 6, 2020

Although there are a few really good teachers the majority of the teachers just do not care and they are totally inadequate.

Posted: April 6, 2020

The principle has got to be replaced. She has forgotten why she is there.

Posted: April 6, 2020

This school has become a place where 3/4 of the students are learning disabled. The school mainstreams the learning disabled which makes it a very disruptive atmosphere for the other children.

Posted: April 6, 2020

This school has a very serious problem with bullying and they turn a blind eye to the bullying problem when it is brought to their attention.

Communication from this school is horrible. Enough to take a child out of the school mid year. No response from the principal after letting her know my concerns.

Great overall school environment. The readiness program has help my shy son grow socially and academically. He is proud of who he is and what he can do. This school provides a supportive small school environment and a very welcoming community.

Great school with caring staff and a wonderful program.

This is a fabulous school. It has that small school feeling where every teacher knows every student. The principal is very involved in every way. All the teachers have been great so far (I have 3 kids at the school and we have been here for 3 years). Class sizes are small ( 14-19 per class) . Kids get lots of outside time. If your child needs extra help in math or reading they get it, or if your child is advanced and ready to move ahead of the class they can accommodate that too. I could write a novel about the Orton Gillingham ( OG) approach to reading that this school uses. Its simply amazing and I can't believe how easily and quickly my children have learned to read and spell. The curriculum is fabulous. They use the Core Knowledge curriculum (not to be confused with Common Core- this is different). Besides the Core Knowledge and the OG the math program is great too. They use Saxon Math and its a solid program that give kids lots of practice on concepts. None of the confusing common core math my kids got at their old school. There are also lots of fun things ( field trips, enrichment etc that my kids love). My kids have made friends with other kids from great families. The only downside I can think of right now ( 2017) is they seem to be running out of room but I believe the principal has a plan for the rapid growth of the school recently by adding on to the building.

My son adores the teachers and students here. He skips on his way down the hall everyday on his way out. He loves learning. He retains what he learns and shares his day with me. I am happy with my choice to take him out of his previous school. He is coming out of his shell and making life-long friends.

This was a great school when it opened. However, administration has changed focus and turned it into a school primarily for children with learning disabilities. However, administration refuses to admit this and continues to "market" the school as a place for students of all abilities. However, typical kids and above are often bored or overlooked while attention is placed on those with special needs. It has also become a dumping ground for kids with behavioral problems. The middle school teachers are fantastic but in general administration can't keep teachers because they don't support their staff. It's a shame. It was such a wonderful school years ago.

My children both attend Strong Foundations. My youngest son started in kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade. My oldest son got accepted halfway through 3rd grade. A perfect balance of learning through play and academics.

Posted: March 16, 2014

I actually am a student that attended the school and can say that it was the worst academic experience of my life. Between rude, mean, and downright horrid faculty, incomplete facilities, the serving of moldy food on one occasion at lunch, and a bad curriculum, I can say that it is a bad idea to send any student to this school.

We can't say enough good things about Strong Foundations Charter Schools teachers, staff, curriculum, and parent evolvement!! They are truly amazing! We have been looking for a school like this for years for our bright but LD child. In other schools, he was shuffled through the system, never coming close to his potential. At SF they truly care about each child as an individual. Teachers there recognize students learning style so that they enjoy learning. They also build their self confidence, making them want to succeed at school. Strong Foundations Charter School is what all (Public and Private) schools should strive to emulate, in a time where so many children, are falling through the cracks. It is very evident that they enjoy what they do. The benefits and rewards of having happy, well educated children are what they are all about!
