My experience at Tacony Academy Charter High School was a fairly well experience. At the school we were taught how to be one and a family even through the things that got hard throughout the semester. The teachers were amazing and the staff was even better. I really enjoyed the biology teacher she always made sure that the students understood before we left class, if the bell rang for the next class that was okay because mrs. butler would stay longer than she had to just to make sure thats the work was never missed.

The school used to be good but then things started going completely down hill. There has been waytoo many fights, students are constantly disrupting class and vandalizing school property. They always let the students get away with anything. DO NOT send your child to this school.

If you can, please choice another school for your child. This school use to be amazing when it first opened however over the years it has declined. The admin and the teachers are great however when it comes to discipline and overall care for the children their hands are tied. No locks on lockers so...
