We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We have been part of Bridges Charter School for a long time and our experience has been amazing. They groom them to be extremely confident kids. Access to teachers at all times. It is like one small family. My son will graduate this year and we will really miss the school. My daughter is a senior at high school and she still loves to go back and meet her teachers at Bridges. That is the kind of bond they develop.

We have stayed throughout the drama and teacher turnover and three directors. The reviews about the struggle at this school is real. They are trying to establish their whole child philosophy but it's more of a sanctuary for children with sensory issues and behavioral issues. The dichotomy of teaching styles makes it more confusing for the kids and the parents stay because their child won't fit anywhere else. Administration is bipolar. One is more professional and the other thinks she reigns over the land.

Bridges has been an incredible place for my kids to thrive! I have 2 children currently enrolled, one who heavily uses accommodations for both ADHD and Autism, and one who while neurotypical, still feels free to go and utilize the mental health office when she needs additional support! Both my 9 yea...
