Challenger has good and bad points. The students are well behaved and test well, but there is too much homework and a lot of rote learning. There is no real music or band, no sports program and no foreign language. Teachers are not required to be certified and there is a large turnover in staff.The staff and parents are not very involved in making decisions or in giving input. Challenger is better than public schools, but for the money, you can probably do better.
