The school has consistently earned positive feedback and reviews from students, parents, and teachers. These indicate that they have a responsive administrative body. Additional feedback suggests that free meals, especially breakfast and lunch, are convenient for students. This reviewer also finds it enjoyable to sleep in because of the late school start. Parents are also appealing to the teachers, lauding their proficiency in class leadership and administration. Pupils also celebrate their teachers, with one children singling out Mrs. Lombardi as the best teacher he has ever had, citing her exceptional care and encouragement during a difficult transfer. The general sentiment indicates that many students who have previously graduated or been to school would choose Charlotte, and alumni would love to have their children attend as well. The students also make a hash of reviews and talk less of the negative school experiences that come with growing up. Popular comments include talkative children amused by the likes of Mr. Bridgers and Mrs. Hannah who instill good school behavior. PTA issues and school challenges were conspicuously absent in the feedback. Still, the administrators would be better placed in the future in making strategic decisions if they could access more detailed school improvement suggestions from the pupil and employee online feedback platform. Peer school comparison analysis target school parents as a positioning strategy. Management should respond to online feedback to make users feel more complicit in school events.
