Our Roots Run Deep. Our Vision Remains Bold.
Empowering children. Elevating communities. Advocating for equity.
Welcome! Education Explosion is the chartering organization of Impact Charter School.
We are your child’s source for a rewarding educational experience and academic growth.
OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2009 by Dr. Chakesha Scott and Eric Scott, Education Explosion, Inc. was born out of a desire to create lasting educational opportunities for students in underrepresented communities. What started with tutoring programs and summer camps soon evolved into a groundbreaking achievement: the launch of Impact Charter School in 2014—the first charter school in the city of Baker, Louisiana.
Under Education Explosion’s leadership, Impact Charter School:
Earned a consistent B letter grade
Was honored by U.S. News & World Report for academic excellence
Served 400+ students annually
Maintained a clean financial record for over a decade
Was recognized as a Top Gains Honoree School multiple times by the Louisiana Department of Education
Our mission has always been grounded in academic excellence, operational integrity, and community empowerment.
Though our school was unjustly targeted by political forces, Education Explosion continues to lead. Today, we:
Advocate for fairness and accountability in education policy
Support other schools and leaders through consulting and development
Empower parents and communities with truth and resources
We’re not done, we’re just getting started.
Justice Still Pending. Our Story Still Matters.
Education Explosion, Inc. remains steadfast in our commitment to children and community, even in the face of injustice.
In 2009, we launched Education Explosion, Inc. to serve children, families, and communities who had been historically overlooked. In 2014, we made history by opening Impact Charter School, the first charter school in Baker, Louisiana. Over the next decade, we built a nationally recognized, B-rated public school that served over 400 children with academic excellence, financial integrity, and community pride.
But in 2024, our school became the target of a politically motivated campaign, one designed to dismantle our work through false narratives and systemic misuse of power. Despite our clean audit history, strong academic performance, and national recognition, Impact Charter was unjustly removed from the community it served.
As we await justice in federal court, we invite you to learn the truth, share our story, and stand with us.
“Chapters of Impact” is a powerful short film that reveals the injustice faced by Impact Charter School, once a nationally recognized, B-rated public school serving over 400 students with a clean financial and academic record for more than a decade. Despite its success, the school became the target of political attacks and a false narrative designed to dismantle what our community built. As we continue the fight for justice in federal court, we invite you to watch, share, and stand with us in raising awareness for the sake of every child whose future deserves protection.
Setting the Record Straight
Despite a proven track record of academic success, clean financial operations, and deep community ties, Education Explosion, Inc. was the target of an unjust and politically motivated takeover.
In 2024, our founding leadership and legally elected board of directors were removed, not because of failure, but because of power and politics. Our organization was hijacked, its authority and mission undermined through the misuse of legislation and process.
This was not just the dismantling of a school. It was the erasure of a nonprofit organization that had led with vision, integrity, and results for more than a decade.
We are now actively pursuing justice in federal court, seeking the restoration of our leadership, our organizational rights, and our ability to continue the mission we were called to lead.
Our story is far from over. We continue to stand on truth, and we will not rest until Education Explosion is returned to its rightful leadership and purpose.
Our strategic plan encompasses using qualified teachers, research‐based curricula and instructional methods that facilitate personal growth and academic excellence.
