Although we registered late, the lady that I spoke on the phone (forgive me, I forgot her name) was very nice and accommodating. We got there and received our registration packet. She answered all our concerns/questions. I put four stars only because this was our first time to go over there and start the registration process.

Roy Herburger was the publisher of the Elk Grove Citizen, the newspaper that serves the city of Elk…read moreGrove and the south Sacramento area. He was also the owner of Herburger Publications, a newspaper printing plant. His support for education and Elk Grove schools resulted in a partnership with the school district and many statewide awards for his education reporting beginning in 1959. Roy Herburger was born in Cambridge, Missouri but was raised in Stratton, Colorado where his parents were involved with printing and publishing. He graduated from Stratton High School in 1948 and the University of Missouri, School of Journalism, in 1953. He then attended the United States Air Force where he graduated from Officer's Training in 1955. He served in the military until 1957 as a first lieutenant navigator, instructor. When Mr. Herburger took over the Elk Grove Citizen in 1959, he determined that schools and education should be the central theme of his newspapers. In addition to the Citizen, Galt Herald was also under his ownership, so he became a supporter of schools throughout south Sacramento County. Consistently through the years, Mr. Herburger made it very clear that education was the reason he was able to accomplish what he had set forth to do. In his words, he felt that "education held the key to life's success." Mr. Herburger has been a supporter of colleges and universities and he worked with a statewide committee to keep journalism as a major in schools. He assisted high schools with the production of their newspapers and taught students how to finance their publications through advertising. A long time community advocate, Mr. Herburger contributed to the betterment of the entire Sacramento area in his efforts. He was one of the persons responsible for the placement of Cosumnes River College in the south area and served on the CRC Foundation Board for 39 years. He is a supporter of the Los Rios colleges and Delta College as well. Mr. Herburger was active in statewide publishing groups, and since 1981, he served on the California Newspapers Publishers Literacy Committee

This school was absolute TRASH filled with the rudest people I have ever met. I've been in this…read moreschool for a while now and I'm finally leaving the school because I'm moving somewhere else but let me tell my experience. So I got bullied my whole time here and the staff did nothing about it didn't even care, Everytime I told the teacher something they said 'tell the yard-duty' and I told the yard duty about it and they didn't even do anything, the students are so rude, they talked bad about me and my friends and we confronted staff and they did nothing. One time in 4th grade, this girl had a headache and the teacher let her go to the nurses office and one time I was really sick... runny nose, sour throat and fever and the teacher asked if I could stay until the end of the day like what the hell is wrong with you? And the food absolutely sucks also, we had moldy apples and one time we had expired milk from 3 MONTHS AGO. And the vice principal makes up weird rules, one time me and my friends were eating our snacks by the bench and he was like 'you have to eat by the snack area' and the snack area was FLOODED with people and we weren't even littering or anything we were just eating. And I remember in 2nd grade and 4th grade my teachers yelled at me and it scared the hell out of me. And one time I heard that the PE teacher punched a kid in the shoulder. But yea if you kids or whatever do not send them to this school it's ass

Even my brother didn't like her when he was forced to have her because she was impatient with him even though he's autistic and always behaved in her class. She was impatient and hostile with me if I was ever wrong on a math problem (and I'm talking if I made a typo error or multiplied wrong just a quick fix) when I'm great at math and always made it a point to behave. Whenever I needed to stand up against bullies she was mean and told me to "ignore them" but ignoring DOESNT WORK! Maybe it works for her oh wait it didn't not when that same bully called her the very name that describes her accurately (the b word). Hypocrite! You should've ignored him? Yeah what good did that do? Did you ignore him when he called you that? Exactly! Idk if she's still working there but I'm glad I don't have to see her anymore! I'm so glad my mom put you in your place and threatened to report you to the superintendent if you didn't change your behavior with me because the way you behaved was like that of a bully, it was senseless, counterproductive and disgusting. I always behaved myself in your class but you showed the same animosity to me and students who behaved themselves better as you did to the bad kids. I'm not dismissing the fact that we had bad students in class, I hated being with them too but you didn't need to get your anger out on the good kids. I'd say drop that stupid ego of yours and stop mistreating your students! And to some of the rude office staff including this tall African American woman who always came in either a frown and spoke nastily to me, I hope you know that your sins will find you out for carrying this attitude and ego of not wanting to help others. I learned you weren't just this rude with us students but were the same way with parents! You disgust me! I'm sure my mom put you in your place at one point because my mom doesn't take crap from anyone not even you!
