Buffalo United Charter School

"Poorly run school, very dirty-looking, and smells like a public restroom all throughout. Everyday, when I go to pick up my daughter, she is never in the same location and I have to run around the whole building trying to find her. The teachers are great but they seem over-fatigued and stressed out. Its a new principal every 5 minutes...we're on our third this year. We will be leaving after this year. Lots of student fights, bullying is rampant, and a student attacked a dean during lunch. These are red flags."

"Buffalo United Charter School, National Heritage Academies has exhausted there time in Buffalo NY. I am petitioning for this school to close. Based on talking to other parents and witnessing Bullying, harassment, abuse of power/authority and dishonesty from Tammy Messmer, Tara Sims and other Deans. National Heritage Academies should not profit in Buffalo NY if they are going to continue create an environment where discipline causes psychological issues (stress, anxiety, lack of motivation to attend school due to fear of being targeted, labeled, abused mentally, lack of safety, triggers behavior, lack of cultural connection, lack of cultural competency, discriminatory and racists remarks by administrative/ school staff, distrust, discriminatory/ racist policy's in your handbook & ineffective leadership. Buffalo United Charter School & National Heritage Academies parent relations and investigative procedures does not benefit the parents. Your investigative procedures lack consistency. Your higher administration refuses to interact with parents which shows us NHA do not care about our concerns. Our concerns fall on deaf ears. Parents are treated with disrespect, we are degraded, treated unprofessionally by Tammy, Tara and other deans. There no Parent Board, Parent Committee or Parent connection. Your administrative staff has discriminated against our culture, race and parental rights. Buffalo United Charter school has created an environment which labels our children behavioral. Our children are an endangered generation/culture. Your organization does not fall in line with the values of the African American community. Buffalo United Charter school creates an unsafe, discriminatory, unprofessional, behavioral environment where they are bullied and harassed by Tammy, Tara and school staff. Every residence in Buffalo will support our children no longer being a part of an for profit organization. This is unacceptable."
