School Reviews
5 5/7/2020
I attended Hope Charter School from kindergarten through 8th grade, and while of course there were some bumps, it was the best place for me to be. I've received a wonderful education and even excelled enough with the help of my kindergarten teacher to skip 1st grade and go into 2nd! I have since graduated Hope, and I attend Legacy High School, AKA the high school for Hope. I continue to receive an incredible education, and I have a lot of pride in my school.

My child has been going to the Hope Charter school for over 6 years now. The teachers embrace parents feedback while the academic curriculum is above average.
