Which made a seriously negative impact on my child. If you are not Russian, you are treated as an outsider by both students and staff. Let me be clear this school caters exclusively to Russian families only, and others are neither welcomed nor supported. We removed our son because the environment was toxic and harmful. I would strongly caution non-Russian families against enrolling their children here

The students don't want you there, the staff don't want you there, the admin don't want you there and they will make it very uncomfortable for you to be there until you leave. Most of the employees do not speak English and they are very hostile to students that don't speak Russian. Your student will be isolated and singled out in every situation. Thats as clear as I can say it, they want the school to stay majority Slavic (entirely Slavic if they can) and if you are not Slavic you are not welcome. They can't legally keep you from enrolling but they will make it very clear you're unwanted until you leave.

What could improve Yelp ask? Everything!!!…read more I've worked for this district for over 10 years! Until today!!! I was a very good employee, good reviews and very good with students! At the end of that very toxic one sided work relationship I was denied a formal complaint, un heard, or cared about against a mentally and emotionally abusive teacher (Theresa Bradley) on a daily basis! There isn't an answer, well a logical answer for why she treated me that way but she did! Ive also reported abuse towards students from a IF in her class and got shut down and denied! I I would never and do never suggest or recommend people from applying and will continue to warn any and everyone that will and would ask! They don't care! They don't care about their employees, They don't care about our student! They just don't care about anything other than $! They have some of the most AWESOME teachers, Paras, Admins and campus workers and use and abuse them on a daily! I will miss those people dearly, I will miss those students more! I didn't work for TR for the money (God only knows they don't pay enough!) flipping burgers gets paid more! I simply and whole heartedly worked for this Students! When Ms. K was there they knew someone cared and had their backs! That's the part for me that hurts the most! As a mom I mothered each and every student that came into my life. When your student was with me you knew they were safe and loved! And most of the time very happy! So this is hard, very, very hard! Good bye TR you lost a real one! Sincerely Ms. K forever!!

I am pleasantly surprised about this school. I wasn't sure what to expect from the reviews. I can…read morenot speak about their bridges after school program but they really seem to be trying for the kids. I can not speak about morning traffic because we are there early before traffic starts to develop. Everyone has been very friendly and helpful. They have a class dojo for the class/ school that updates you with important information. I really appreciate that. I was able to ask the teacher about early dismissal for parent conference day and I clarified it was all week. This information would've been nice the week before. Finding alternative transportation is very important and to rearrange the schedules. They had a great resource for the parents and community. Face mobile provides food and diapers and technology information free WiFi tons and tons of information and resources. it sounds like a catch all it is mobile and at different locations. One thing I have noticed the payment is not updated. Paying cash is sometimes not convenient and the school will lose profit. We went to the book fair and the scholastic register was having trouble. I brought cash because of the past experiences but others were having trouble and the line was very long and the wait was at least 30 minutes. I don't know if some people walked out because they couldn't wait and they were directly to the site. Having a square to have the transactions accountable I'm sure they could figure something that was more effective. The employee seemed frazzled under the pressure. Another person to help with the transactions would've been very helpful. We at our first trimester of the school and we are happy. I have open communication with our teacher. And it's made the experience great.

I moved to Sacramento from San Jose in 2014. My daughter finished first grade in Carmichael elementary where she suffered tremendously. The teacher did not put the attention and dedication a teacher is responsible for, consequently leaving my daughter struggling even more than she was before. I was finally able to put my daughter in Deterding Elementary. Mrs. Morganstern was an Angel in disguise. She immediately recognized my daughter frustration and how behind she was in her academics. She met with me and developed a plan for my daughter success. She and other teachers organized an after school tutoring program for kids like my daughter to get that extra help they needed. I couldn't believe the dedication and care these teachers like Mrs. Morganstern genuinely give to their students. When she found out that my daughter was moving from school to school, and yet moving again to Santa Cruz, she quickly contacted me strongly concerned a

While it is true that many people here are Caucasian, I don't feel like anyone discriminates against us. The teachers have embraced our family and the other parents in my son's classes are friendly with us. It's too bad that some have had a bad experience here. I haven't been involved with the PTA beyond volunteering at the fall carnival, etc. so I can't speak to the nature of the PTA members. Elizabeth Wahl is a good principal and she reached out to me when my son was in 1st grade to help me get him into Discovery Club. My advice: take advantage of what this school has to offer academically. If you're feeling like the PTA is exclusive and homogeneous, bring a friend to the meetings! This school has a lot to offer: STORM (Special Team of Role Models); Ms. Messner is one of the MOST AMAZING educators around town; and the people in the office CARE about the well-being of the students! This school is rated a 9 or 10 by www.greatschools.org, focus on what they have to offer academically.

So they diagnosed my son with a hearing issue stating this is what was wrong or it could even be…read moresomething developmental like ADHD. He was retained in grade K after we believed he sincerely had some type of issue since he only scribbled on papers, couldn't write well, wasn't able to read or put words/sounds together -- albeit he is a genius in math.He counts up to 200 and is 5... I took him to our Native American clinic for a screening and his pediatrician who didn't do his pre-K screening (vision and hearing) noted he hears fine, doesn't appear to have ADHD, and has a hard time seeing. I was shocked, a hard time seeing? They believed he was around 20/30 or 20/40 since he did poorly on the eye chart. Bless his pediatrician's office because he could only ready the 40 and 50's at the eye doctors without help, so they were very correct. So he has poor vision in his left eye where he needs nearly a +3.00 lense and his right eye is overcompensating for the issue and is also weakened where he needs a +1.50 in that eye. With his glasses on he clearly writes his name and can color... because he can SEE! Mariemont only wanted to blame some type of developmental issue or a hearing issue as his problem. I remember at one point being told the other kids had preschool and because he didn't that might be the issue. I stated preschool was out of our budget and I was reminded that the neighborhood is wealthier so the kids go to preschool... So their kids were automatically seen as better because they were rich and white. You'd think someone in the process would have tested his eyesight if he had a problem reading. It seems so, DUH! now but I am a first time parent dealing with an uptight school but they do this everyday so there is no excuse. I continue to state his teacher was awesome and did what he could but their administration and even other parents are the nightmare there. I am on the fence for him returning I can't do to it him even though they are considered a "good school" they are not a good school for someone with a mixed ethnic background whose parents don't net 100k+ a year.
