Pivot Charter School

So let me start off by saying that I have always been a student who loved school and got A's and B's. But a problem I have always had is my anxiety levels in social situations. My Dad and I thought we should give Pivot a go after looking through many highschools in Florida. It seemed low-key, the students would get 1-on-1 attention, and it was a self-motivated system which I had no problem with. I went there for a year and a half and let me tell you about my experience- The systems were terribly unorganized. Kids would walk off to whatever class wherever they wanted and the teachers didn't care. When I first enrolled, the teachers kept screwing with my schedule and passing me off to other teachers so they would have less work to deal with. Any special days or events that were going on were poorly coordinated and weren't mentioned until the day before. Second, the majority of students going there were basically going as a last resort because of their non-caring attitude and bad grades. They would sit at their cubicle doing nothing and disrespect all the teachers who turned a blind eye. I remember when I was once doing my work and a girl and boy were talking about all the drugs they have taken and the girl passed him a small bag of weed right out in the open and nobody did anything. All the students abused the uniform policy and again the teachers did nothing. I honestly think most of the teachers lacked teaching skills and only came for a paycheck. And if you see a current student trying to convince you how good it is, it's because they do these things where if a student gets somebody to go there, they get some free cool prize. It is not a good environment to be working in. Overall, this school is a disorganized and terrible system and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I agree with your comments AMEN to that. Very disorganized and rude teachers.

My son has always been a good student but has some social anxiety. Pivot has been a blessing for him. He is learning there as his PSAT shoes a very high score. There is a measure of self reliance so poorPerformers may not be able to succeed here but if you are a good student who has plans for your future and don't want a much of drama Pivot is a great choice. At his precious school there were daily fights, not at Pivot. I don't know if you can find any school without drugs but I know there are children who have been kicked out for bringing drugs to school so that's good. There aren't any cheerleader princesses or testosterone filled jockeys wich for the average student is a plus. The staff is the most hands on and concerned for his success then he's ever had. It's a great place to send your child.
