Research Hyde Leadership Public Charter School charter Schools in Arlington, Virginia

“By far...Hyde is the best school I've ever attended. This is currently my 3rd year at hyde. I'm so far getting the best education and character molding that I every thought I would recieve. I highly recommend all parents to enroll their children into hyde.”

“I think Hyde is a very good school.This is my childs 1st year in school she is in kindergarden and Hyde made her feel very welcomed and safe away from home.”

“Yes the quality of the academic program at hyde is good. The students there have an easy curriculum compared to other schools. They also offer extended help if a child is failing. Well i am a little disappointed about the extracurricular programs they really have none for middle school which was one of the reason why i put my child in hyde. I was really mislead on the sports opportunities.They said they offered several programs but as of yet we have seen none. The oe thing that i do like is that they encourage parent involvement as a matter of fact it is a requirement for parent involvement or your child will not be able to attend the following year. The rules at hyde are a little to strict.”

“I am a six year parent at Hyde Leadership Public Charter School. I have two children attending there and from my experience, Hyde is a very good school. I have seen this school grow over the years and I have also seen it face some challenges. Even with the struggles, I have seen Hyde pull through like a true trooper! I have all intentions of letting my children continue to attend Hyde through 12th grade. The character development of my children and other children that I have had the pleasure of seeing has been nothing short of phenomenal.”

“My step-daughter has attended Hyde since Kindergarten and I have always been impressed with their teaching principles and the quality of education she has received. The school does not believe in a rote learning environment which forces the students to use higher level thinking skills, which fits quite well into what my daughter has to deal with at home. With that said, I do have some concern with the surrounding environment as well as the students who come from areas that do not foster the same type of behavior that would enhance the school's overall learning environment. Much of that has to do with how the city and the school work together to ensure the safety of the students outside of Hyde's area of responsibility. Unfortunately, there is not enough adequate protection in the surrounding areas to so.”

“I worked at this school last year and many of the teachers have little experience teaching. Character education is stressed while many students continue to have huge problems learning how to read and do math. It's also sad that the principles and guidelines are not really lived, especially when they are tested.”

“I have been very disappointed in Hyde and its inablity to secure the students from the outside influences of the community. My perception is that the teachers are very stressed and unable to support the 'grand' mission of Hyde. I'm very sorry that I enrolled my child there.”

“I believe Hyde Public Chartered School to be one of the best schools in the DC area. My daughter has been a student at Hyde since the year 2000 and I have seen nothing but academic excellence from her. I am very pleased with Hyde's strong dedication to character devlopement and the principles that they instill in their students. My 5 year old daughter just started attending Hyde in September 2004, and I am very proud to have both of my daughters attend Hyde. And to know that they can grow with Hyde all the way through 12th grade is nothing but another great benefit for me. Hyde is a very good school to be a part of.”

“I think this school is a very good example of how a school should be ran from the principal to the parents from the students to the teachers. I have been impressed with this school from the first time I received the literature in the mail concerning the school. I feel that Hyde can't do anything but go up. I appreciate the fact that Hyde does not lower the bar for no one not even the parents.”

“It's really a great school where the focus is not only on the child, but also on the parents. They help to develop a family oriented environment which my daughter really loves. It also requires a lot of parent involvement which I really love because I like to know what's going at my daughter's school, and I also like being involved.”
