Principal is unprofessional. Disrespectful to staff, students and parents sweeps, racism and bullying under the rug
The school is failing, bullying is rampant and the admisstration will do nothing about it. The school is more into making money that in educating children, it should be shut down, would not advise anyone to send their child there ,,, sorry but it is the truth
This School is awesome because of what it contains .By that, I mean teachers and staff. They know my children .They are helping in guiding my children to success in all area's of life. I feel at ease because, I know my children are safe and cared for.
We have had experiences with public school, charter schools, big and small schools. Our experience with Vanderbilt has been amazing. They work with my children individually and help them grow. Each year I see progress. The staff prides themselves on how well the school kids do. Every staff member I have ever encountered has been communicative and invested. I would recommend this school to anyone. I absolutely love Vanderbilt Charter Academy!
Haven't encountered any problems with the school thus far. We love Mrs. Faga she is an awesome teacher and makes our experience enjoyable!
Vanderbilt Charter Academy is by far the best school I have worked with. My daughter absolutely LOVES this school and all of the staff. Need to find a school where your child wont fight you on getting out of bed to go? choose Vanderbilt.
I absolutely love everything about this school. The progress my kiddos have made just keeps a huge smile on my face. I am proud to be part of the Vanderbilt family. I'm just sad that there isn't a high school program.
The faculty (especially Mr. Groggle) is very transparent with their passion for helping the students succeed not just in the classroom but in all factions of life while focused on the fact that they are still kids and need to have fun.
Administration is very biased towards Hispanic students. Communication with parents is very poor (very poor use of email, parent portal and social media to communicate).

Reply from Vanderbilt Charter Academy
Very dedicated staff. Wonderful experience for both the kids and parents alike.
Choosing this wonderful school for my son is the best decision I could possible make as a single mom with a child with many behavioral and emotional problems. I cannot find words to express my deep gratitude for the tremendous support from all wonderful teachers that brings so many positive changes in my son's life.
Thank you for all you do, I couldn't ask for a better school for my son.
These teachers truly care about their students and their futures. They are excellent at communication with parents and they keep us up to date with our childs progress. My son started kindergarten here this past fall and it is truly the best decision I have made (to send him to Vanderbilt).
With four kids and 2 jobs I have a very busy schedule. Between emails, voicemails and notes home I stay week informed about my children and progress or issues and activities at school. I alwayd feel involved in their education.
teachers are wonderful and are focus on the sutudents
It's very evident that the teaching staff and administration are working together in an effective and efficient manner. Many individuals at Vanderbilt are long-tenured employees that excel at their roles and every year come to expect superior results from students as well as their colleagues. With the accolades and success (by its students, via the teachers) that Vanderbilt is regularly achieving, the school should be a model for other NHA and charter schools throughout the region.
They focus on the child not the numbers. The staff genuinely cares for each individual as a person...
My 3 kids attend this school and the teachers/staff take the time to get to know the kids and truly care!
