Gabrielle Keller Review of Advantage Academy

Everything I have to say cannot be put into this small box. If I can rate this school a zero, I will. During a training they made us write a good review for the school since they were lacking them.
First of all, the administrators on the GPW campus are amazing. I had the pleasure of working as an Attendance Clerk and due to reorganization, I became Registrar/Attendance Clerk. ( no extra pay) I got the training I needed from the PEIMS Coordinator but when it came to SchoolMint, I never receive the training that I was supposed to receive. The one time the customer service manager trained" me was for one hour and she was texting and talking about her personal life instead. She had no intentioned on training me. She wanted to sabotage me and succeed.
The turnover rate is extremely high. 5 people started out working in the front office in the beginning of the school year. 1 got promoted and the other 4 are no longer working there. Most teachers and staff are not returning next year due to micromanaging, last minute changes and lack of support. EVERYONE IS STRESSED OUT BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSURE OF THEIR JOB SECURITY. The longest person that is employed at GPW is has been year for only 4 years.
When the enrollment specialist got promoted, they didn t consider that it was only one other person working in the front office and had to take on other roles such as office manager, Attendance Clerk/ Registrar, and Administrative Assistant and I did it well. They did not have the resources for someone to be successful. Most days I would be alone in the front office. The Central staff will not get the intercoms (which is a serious safety hazard), but they want to constantly look at the cameras to see where you are located on campus. This school will lie to parents about the resources they have just to get their numbers up so they can get more funding. They adjust the attendance percentages to the start in order to stay in business.
If you do decide to work here. BEWARE. The central staff is super sneaky, and the customer service manager and enrollment specialist will throw you under the bus just to cover themselves. (Everyone knows this, but no one is doing anything about it)
Overall, I did enjoy my job, because of the kids and some of my coworkers, but I will never send my kids here nor will I ever recommend this school to anyone. Advantage Academy really lives up to its name. THEY WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU AND THROW YOU IN THE TRASH. THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL, IT IS A BUSINES.S In my honest opinion this business should not even be open. DON T WASTE YOUR TIME IN WORKING OR SENDING YOUR CHILDREN HERE. YOU WILL BE ON INDEED LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB OR ANOTHER SCHOOL.
