There's no excuse for five principals in 4 years. Oh I get it if its not her way its the highway. How is it that we continue to allow Ms. Ross the opportunity to insult our intelligence?? We know that Ms. Ross isn't serving all children. Also, we know Ms. Ross hasn't made good on all her promises that she made to the community. So why keep her and the circus?? Oh I'm sorry I ment school. RGA should not receive another renewal our children are failing. Charter school's are held accountable by there performance numbers. Its clear as day that RGA is failing our children. Also, failing in the numbers. The numbers never lie. Its time to shut them down, shut them down !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21978939.post-90369584697543599892010-12-02T09:30:31.526-05:002010-12-02T09:30:31.526-05:00RGA IS A IS TRULY A DISGRACE!!! COURTNEY ROSS FEEL...RGA IS A IS TRULY A DISGRACE!!! COURTNEY ROSS FEELS THAT SHE IS SUPERWOMAN YET SHE IS NOT!! NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. IF RGA WAS DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB WHY DO WE HAVE STUDENTS PERFORMING BELOW LEVEL, HIGH ATTRITION RATES FOR BOTH STUDENT, TEACHERS, AND FACULTY? COURTNEY ROSS NOR HER ADMINSTRATION HAVE DONE RIGHT BY THE STUDENTS OF RGA. BOTH THE FORMER(CHRISTINA FRANZ) OR CURRENT(JAYME GRECO)DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS/ABILITY OR PROPER SUPPORTS TO ENSURE THAT THE SPECIAL EDUCATION POPULATION THAT THEY DO HAVE ARE RECEIVING THEIR RELATED SERVICES IN A TIMELY MATTER. I HAVE SEEN SO MANY SERVICES PROVIDERS, SPECAIL EDUCATION TEACHERS LEAVE RGA LIKE A REVOLVING DOOR. AS A FORMER RGA PARENT I HAVE HEARD MANY PROMISES OF CHANGE BUT NONE NOR WILL NONE EVER HAPPEN. PARENTS PLEASE WAKE UP AND SEE THE THE WOOL IS BEING PULLED OVER YOUR EYES.THOSE OF YOU THAT YOU DO NOT WILL FIND YOUR CHILD/REN SUFFERING IN THE LONG RUN WHEN THEY ARE UNDERPERFORMING THEIR PEERS ONCE THEY ARE OUT OF RGA!!! SHUT THIS CHARTER DOWN!!

It also appears the historical information may be misrepresentated are exaggerated to say the least.<br /><br />Ross global Academy thisyear has a strong administration who has been committed to the overall growth and success of the children who are there. Teachers and parents have been working in collaboration. Discipline is not a problem , children are excited to learn, have a sense of pride in the school and the environment.<br /><br />Extra curriculum activities such as basketeball, cheerleadering, art, music, karate are activities children are excited about.<br /><br />Enrollment at the school is on point. Just this year many parents have enrolled their children and are excited about what RGA has to offer. Classroom are full and teachers are supported by support staff. <br /><br />Smart board technology has been installed in every classroom and lap top are available for children. This technology is used daily and supported with the classroom instruction.<br /><br />Teachers are young but excited and given the support they need to support the students as well as have effective classroom management. There are also a cohort of older teacher who are there support younger teacher and the balance is refreshing<br /><br />I guess the question is how do you know this is to true? I am a second year parent at Ross and have only experienced my children success. The curriulum has allowed them to be expressive thinker. The instruction has only advanced their knowledge of larger global community. They are learning chinese as well as teaching me. Parents are engaged in the Parent Teacher Association with over 50 at each meeting. I was only encouraged when at the public hearing for charter renewal over 120 parents attended with their children to let the DOE know how important RGA was to them.<br /><br />So I can only wonder once again if this blogger was part of the problems that left RGA last year but does not represent the wonderful future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21978939.post-44951760380662503572010-12-02T00:44:20.011-05:002010-12-02T00:44:20.011-05:00This school has been having challenges since BEFOR...This school has been having challenges since BEFORE it opened. RGA is on it's 8th (EIGHTH) principal. Kids flee that school in droves EVERY year!<br /><br />RGA is getting SHUT DOWN because it's a BAD charter school. Kids and teachers leave that school all year round.<br /><br />RGA makes all other charter schools look bad.<br /><br />TIMES UP for your FUCKED UP school.<br /><br />Make sure to check back on this comment thread in a month. By then all RGA parents will be notified the school is closing.
