This is a must read blog post by Kelly Pressley, also known as QC Supermom, whose child attended the now-shuttered Entrepreneur Charter High School in Charlotte.
What a sad day in the Queen City. Just as families everywhere celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s holiday, my family is scratching our heads figuring out what to do with our budding entrepreneur. For four months, my daughter has been attending Entrepreneur Charter High School and absolutely loving it. She went from being a complete introvert to being on the principals honor roll, and increasing her business, Cassie’s Sweetz (organic lactation treats for nursing moms). That’s progress.
Now that the school is closed, she has no where to go. Going to the community college seems to much for her. Going to our CMS home school is not even on the table. Someone mentioned a nearby charter school…. well, we are not sold on that option either based on the overall student demographics. They target at risk kids. Sorry Cassie isn’t one of them. We want EHS BACK!
Unfortunately, Entrepreneur Charter High School failed to recruit enough students to keep the school afloat.
