I work part-time at The Villages Charter school. I came from working in a public school in Ohio and there is a world of difference. I have only heard 3 cuss words, (one was a teacher!), lots of "yes ma'am, no ma'am. Have only seen one earring on a student. They do wear uniforms but can earn a dress-down day. Last year they had a 100% graduation rate. The kids come from all over. Ocala and numerous other cities.
As GMONEY stated the parents are required to put in so many hours a year volunteering and attending meetings. Lots of parents volunteer at the snack shop at the games, etc.
They have many after school activities that parents can sign their kids up for. Sports, languages, dance, cooking, flyfishing to name just a few. And The Village residents are very active and involved with the school.
Any other ?'s feel free to PM me.
