Honestly, I was going to let it go but it just keeps getting worse. Corrie Henderson - works front…read moreand center of this school in the office and is beyond RUDE. Every time I have had to come into the office for something it's an inconvenience for her. She rolls her eyes. Gets mad. Slams things down. I can only imagine how she treats the kids if she treats parents this way. She is currently refusing to send records to my son's new school & when I went into Markham to get them she told me she couldn't do that & than proceeded to yell at me when I finally told her she didn't have to be rude - after refusing to answer my questions and consistent eye rolls to my questions. The teachers don't communicate, the principal just brushes you off & says sorry but goes back to bqqing outside the school like he's on vacation instead of actually addressing the issues. We have moved a lot through my son's schooling due to work & this was by far THE WORST experience we have ever had. He was a straight A student the year prior - they changed his IEP - told me they couldn't accommodate etc.. & he failed with no support at school. No summer school option. Nothing was talked about etc.. it was radio silent when I would reach out to his teachers. He was accused of things he wasn't doing & was threatened to have to cops called on him WHEN ANOTHER KID damaged property of the school. I could write a novel on how horrible these people and this school are honestly. Like I said WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. If you want your kids to actually be treated well & have an education- it's definitely not this school.

Have had 4 of my kids pass graduate from Ponderosa in the last decade. We have loved our…read moreexperience with the school, finding a great educational environment and a local community. All have played sports at Pondo and been involved in clubs and other groups which both strengthened their bond to their classmates and to the school. We found teachers and coaches to genuinely care about our kids and their friends. Most of the students live in less densely populated neighborhoods and correspondingly you'll see more pickups than BMWs in the parking lot each morning. We enjoyed the lower level of pretense that exists here versus the other choices down the hill and believe our kids benefitted from it.

Got an email from the school saying there was a Pfizer vaccine clinic along with the words "once…read moreyou're fully vaccinated you can go back to doing the things you love." Newsflash- a school district should NOT be coercing and manipulating kids into taking an experimental non fda approved "vaccine". After a year of distance "learning"; while the county and school take CARES blood money in return, when have you started caring about our kids?! Public schools long ago only taught to standardized tests for money. They've been a joke in California for years! I am so glad my kid is graduating this year and in a few years we are leaving this state with it's failed policies and public school system. Shame on Pondorosa high school and ALL schools in el dorado union for not only this message, but what you've done to our kids the past 15 months! Are we on day 400 of 2 weeks to slow the spread??? I can't keep up. And neither can my hospital who lost so much money over LACK of patients. Keep your "vaccine" and stop manipulating our kids abd lying to them! You are NOT my child's parent. You do NOT get to tangle carrots for them and tell them when they get to go back to doing things they love. You already took my kids senior year away from her and same with the kids last year. You're a disgusting entity further propagating the Covid theater and fear.

My sons were in need of a more personalized classroom where they could receive one on one help without having to hold their hand up in the air for an outrageous amount of time The faculty at Charter were exceptional. They really cared about how each child progressed and did everything the could to help my boys become positive, intelligent members of society.
