Queen City Academy Charter School in Somerset, New Jersey

“QCA's families, staff, and administrators are continuing to grow and succeed. As the PTA president, and a parent there for the past 3 years, the school has evolved and is continuing to evolve day in and day out. Under the new leadership, we are very thankful to have the administrators we do. Parent involvement has certainly improved as well as the overall tone of parent participation. The students and staff are flourishing here. Of course there are still improvements to be made, however, it's a work in progress and I am confident that QCA will get the credit it deserves eventually. Even if the Plainfield Schools Superintendant gives us no support what so ever, we will continue to press on so that the entire state can see that QCA is a coveted institution.”

“Queen city academy is an excellent education alternative to the plainfield public school. It offers a home feeling to holistic education and the staff is genuinely concerned about educating the child. With a longer school day than most, children are given ample time to attain knowledge. Also, all children have spanish, dance, health, music, phycical education, technology-where each child has a laptop, art and other co-curricular courses. I love my qca family!”

“Great teachers, but awful administrators. Children are treated as military personnel rather than children.”

“I have my child in the 6th Grade and this is his first year at Queen City. I want to say I LOVE the Single Gender Classrooms for the son. He came from Plainfield Public and he has show drastric improvements over this year. The administration is always accessible to me either by phone or email. If you want a great place send your child to QCA.”

“Under the leadership of the current principal, I think QCA is continuing to evolve from being just an average school to a top performer. I currently have two kids in the school in kindergarten and second grade. They are very well challenged academically and are both doing very well with the active support of their dedicated teachers, and a well-disciplined, no nonsense academic environment. This is a complete departure from what you get in Plainfield public schools. If the current standard and culture is maintained, QCA test scores will be competing with the best NJ schools in few years.”

“I am the mother of a kindergartner at QCA. So far, I am liking the way in which the new principal is taking a open approach with the students and teachers. He is straight forward and I think he will lend some much needed discipline, which will in turn improve the school and its academic standing. Michele Smith-Hector”

“School has fluctuated in performance over the last year or so; but overall its better than the Plainfield Public School System. Smaller Classes seem to work for my children.”
