My only issue here is the parking and the pick up. While the staff works hard to move the line, it's just suitable for the amount of students who attend this campus. At times it can take 30 or more minutes to pick up your child after the bell rings. No fault of the staff, but can be pretty troublesome when your child or yourself have any plans or appointments after school.

My wife and I are very pleased so far with this school and especially the teachers that work here. Ms. Lenart is the first grade teacher and is very good at keeping up to speed with our daughters progress. This school also has a before/after school program that is amazing. Mrs Heather and Mrs. Vicki are the teachers at this program and do a great job. Over all I can't say enough good things about this school.

But you will mostly meet nice students and nice teachers. The staff work really hard on making this school enjoyable and have succeeded. The recess areas are also really nice and fun to play on. So I rate this school an easy 5. -Korbin Bergman

This school uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS). The kid I take here is doing very well so far. The staff members I have met here are all nice and great at clear communication. The place to pick up your kids at the end of the day is all gated so that makes it feel safer too. I think this school is a great piece of Grossmont Union High School District.

Each teacher and aid there are equipped to educate and address any concerns that the parent has. They are very well equipped to handle most situations that the SDUSD would handle in a very negative way. If you have a special needs child that is not at the right placement, check this place out. Your child will be treated with dignity and respect. The staff and teachers are honest and actually provides feedback to the parents either by e-mail or an actual phone call. I actually receive a personal phone call to tell me how my child's time has been going.

Our teachers thus far have been caring, knowledgeable, and dependable. While the school has gone through a few changes over the years, the sparrow community continues to hold together for the kids with help of parents and staff alike. The most important thing is my children are HAPPY at sparrow. They have made true friendships, they know all the staff on a first name basis, and are learning to love learning. Waldorf education is a different kind of educational pathway, however at sparrow all concepts that are seen in public school are still met at sparrow bcuz they are a charter and state funded. They just teach it in a different way. They are not perfect and it's an uphill battle to keep this charter school functioning as a Waldorf since we still have to meet state testing, but the village it provides makes it worth while. Those looking into Waldorf education private or charter, should really work to understand what, how and why, waldorf curriculum is taught.

I regret sending my children here. My son had to repeat 4th grade ("because it follows Waldorf development" but then they changed it a year later to conform to LMSV School District so my son got screwed and now he's a year behind all his friends.) This was the worst decision I have EVER made. The community is great. The families and friends we have met have been great. Thats it. Period.
