What school district is Walton Charter Academy part of?
The quality of education at Walton Charter Academy in Pontiac is a disgrace. My children attended Pontiac
Public Schools prior to enrolling with Walton Academy.
Their test scores on the standardized testing has decreased drastically over the past 2 years. There's
no extracurricular activities to keep the students busy
and interested enough to look forward to coming to school sports, i.e. I've found that the students are not
top priority for the principal or teachers. My 6th grader has had a total of 7 new teachers since 5th grade. I've also found that those in authority
have no problem solving skills. They would rather suspend and expell students instead of finding resolution to problems. How can our students learn if their not in school? The principal does not find a problem with the big turnover in faculty (teachers).
I feel as though my children are not getting the quality
education they deserve and are entitled to. All the things affect academic progress, moral, and behavior.
