Sing Lum Elementary is one of Panama Buena Vista Union School District's oldest schools. It was…read morefirst built as a "temporary" school almost 30 years ago. Named for Sing Lum who graduated from Bakersfield High School in 1924. He helped organize the Panama Union School District and was on the first school board in 1944. At the age of 65, Mr. Lum became a competitive runner. He set national and international records by the time he was 70! In 1970, he retired as a farmer from Wasco. He went back to school to get his real estate license. He died in 1994 at the age of 90. I have been at this school for 17 years, 12 of which I have been employed. I have been through three principals and a variety of staff members over the years. I love this school because my children went here and I was always actively involved. It's a great little location right next to Campus Park South. Many students have had many "park days" over the years. This is the last year of the original "temporary" school foundation. Students and staff coming back for the 2016-17 school year will be treated to a brand new school! It's definitely bittersweet for many...leaving so many fond memories behind but also looking forward to a new beginning! I gave 5 stars because all the principals have been amazing over the years. The front office staff is friendly and always helpful, and the teachers are GREAT. If your child is lucky enough to be a Lum Lion, consider yourself lucky!!

My son attended Tevis for his 7th and 8th grade year and he had a great experience here. It seems…read moreonly right that I release my review since school is back in session. I've had more ups than downs at this school, but my son excelled attending here and that's why I rated this school 5 stars. A few things that I thought was the downside of this school is that there's not too many students who get involved with the academic programs versus the athletic programs. I think sports are important; however, I'm shocked that there wasn't more kids volunteering to get involved in Math Field, Battle of the Books and other academic activities. My son only had a bad experience with one teacher his whole time attending here and part of the problem was that he was unorganized, but when we reached out to Ms. Zaragoza (GATE language arts) she had a bad attitude. Rather than coming up with a plan, she was argumentative and we had to involve the principal. The situation was only resolved because the principal stepped in. If we did not reach out to someone above her she would have continued to act unprofessional. I believe that if you become a teacher then you should do it because you love kids, because if you don't then you'll be acting like Ms. Zaragoza and that's a shame. All in all, I think Tevis Jr High is a great school. They have a really nice staff. My son absolutely loved so many of his teachers. This school praises the kids for doing great by rewarding them and they do a lot of school spirit activities. They have a really nice band program and the kids get to march at Disneyland which is a plus for the kids.

I was a student at Old River since I was in Kindergarten. I'm going to 7th grade now and I will…read moremiss this school a lot. All my teachers were very nice and helping. I could tell they cared for me. I have a little problem with some staff and the principal and also one specific teacher. I made a lot of friends and everyone was kind to me (almost). Some of the staff that works here are very rude. They like to yell a lot. But that's them working and the kids are quite chaotic. When I was in 4th grade, girls who sighed a paper to go to a meeting to learn about puberty in girls. While we were waiting, I was in a different class since my teacher was working with another event going on. I had forgotten my computer in the classroom and this teacher yelled at me and I started crying. She didn't even care for me but she cared for my project under me that was wet with tears . Another thing that happened was I silently burped and said excuse me and the teacher said there's no burping allowed? I guess in her class we're not allowed to do basic normal human function. I was bullied by one kid too. She'd argue with me and try to make me feel bad about myself because of a hobby I liked. She often barked at me or even tried to trip me. She also gave me really dirty looks. Me and this person never really interacted so I don't know why she was doing that. But other than those problems I had great teachers. They knew when I looked like I have having a bad day and gave me space to calm down. I was with one of the counselors of the school since my mom told the counselors of the school about my problems with Self-harm. Counselor was great and she was caring. The events here were fun too! I also had very good grades and a lot of opportunities to make up for a grade if it was bad. Though there is history in this school about sketchy staff. One was arrested for taking pictures of little girls and had CP. Another one tried to kidnap a kid. But those were long ago and the current staff have not been creepy or sketchy. I loved this school and will forever miss my caring teachers!

My daughter has been in this school district for 4 years now. She attends Old River Elementary, and…read morein these years, I have had no complaints. This is the first time having to come to the actual district office. It looks like their buildings are on two streets. There are plenty of parking and even solar panels in the parking lot! Even if you walk into the main office, the receptionist will tell you where to go, like she did me, because there are different buildings for different services. It can be kind of confusing. Staff was kind, though, and the building I did have to go into for the info on fingerprinting I had to get buzzed into. This whole process was very easy, which I appreciated. My little girl will remain in the Panama-Buena Vista School District for Jr High as well, so I'm hoping my experience will remain as pleasant as it has been for elementary!

Awful is an understatement!…read more I have requested a copy of my students IEP for over a month. I am very well aware this is part of the parents rights to obtain a copy of it for their records. My child is in 7th grade this isn't her first IEP and won't be her last. I have emailed the woman who conducted the meeting Monica H., as well as her teacher who is supposed to be giving her a whole period of extra help AND the principal of Stonecreek. Finally went in person, asked the front desk lady. She wrote my name down I STILL LEFT WITH NO IEP. No IEP still. Maybe not conduct the IEP meetings via zoom? That way the parent can get a copy after the meeting is over? No responses on email from multiple people including the principal who are all employed at Stonecreek nor the woman who represented PBVUSD that led the IEP meeting back in early September. The lack of communication and care is shameful. They have pushed her through grade after grade knowing she has autism and a learning disability. Her teachers have no problem failing her knowing she has this disability. Grades are supposed to be weighted. She turns in all of her work and has 4 Fs in multiple subjects. Clearly she's in classes that are too hard for her. Wouldn't that be a sign to provide this child with more services? Not at Stonecreek or PBVUSD. They are content pushing her through each subject and grade with MINIMAL help.
