Challenger is a school named after the rocket that exploded. It is a very fun and welcoming place. I would change that the elementary school and the middle school are connect. I believe that there is too much of difference in age group when it comes to the children, there are certain things they do not need to be exposed to yet because they might interpret it in the wrong ways.

This school puts their ratings before students. The amount of homework they require is not age appropriate. There is not enough focus on remediation and enrichment. It is all state testing focused. Do not complain or your child will suffer.

They are rude to the kids and do not want to deal with the parents when they’re involved. It’s not all but the ones I have encountered are just so unprofessional and I do not know how the...
