I had a TERRIBLE experience while at Bosco. There is so much to say about the staff here and how…read morethey turn a blind eye to bullying. I was literally terrified of going to school everyday. I was only 4' 11' at the time until my junior year. I was pushed, called demeaning names and harassed almost everyday even while the teachers saw and witnessed on most occasions. There were many times I would hide in the restroom just to get away from the abuse. The bullying I experienced here has had such a huge negative impact on my life. On another note, if you came from a wealthy family, you were given top notch classes. It's just like a caste system. Please, if you are thinking of sending your children to St. John Bosco, have your children go somewhere else. If I could sue, I would. To this day, I will NEVER forget the names of the guys that bullied me and I will never forgive the St. John Bosco for having turned a blind eye when they should have done something. My life would have been much better had I gone to a Public School.

I went in to turn in paperwork to be reimbursed for gas money . I want to put it out there the paper did not have a deadline date . The reason I went In late May because the car insurance renewed early June . Anyways , The older woman in front gave me paperwork to fill out. She told me Nancy was busy that I could make an appointment and come in later. Yeah, nancy was so busy bad mouthing and gossiping about Claudia with the blonde hair with the older woman in front . Stating they didn't like her , Very professional. I filled out the paperwork and handed it in. I barely made it to my car before I got a call from Nancy yelling at me I had missed the deadline to turn in the paperwork. She demanded to know why I had set up an appointment if that was all I needed. I couldn't believe she was treating me that way and yelling at me. I calmly answered her that was the only reason. It took everything in me to be calm and not snap back. I was worried if I snapped there would be retaliation and I wouldn't be reimbursed. She continued to yell at me and finally put me on hold. She calmly told me I could go in and she would approve my paperwork . I'm guessing someone told her to relax . Whenever I have to deal with this department I dread it . Most of the staff is rude and with a poor attitude. I urge the district to read these reviews and do something about the staffs behavior.

As a parent of a child who attends a school in the Bellflower Unified School District, I…read moreoccasionally need to seek services from the main office. My experience today was unfortunately horrible. I am assuming that the employees at this office have recently gone through some sort of safety training and that the policies of this office have changed as the entire building was in complete lockdown. All doors locked, signs saying appointments only and a electronic doorbell at the main entrance. Not knowing for sure what was going on, I rang the bell and was asked if I had an appointment. I said "no" and was greeted by a terse woman who was huffy about having to get up from her chair to open the door for me. I told her that I need to visit an office there to turn in some paperwork. How was I supposed to know that appointments were necessary now? No communication from the School District on this at all. She scolded me for not having an appointment but still let me in. I made my way to the office where I needed to turn some paperwork in. I entered and was greeted with unfriendly stares from 4 employees who were talking with each other. I was asked if I had an appointment. I said no. I said I was happy to make one but no one told me I had to make an appointment now to get services from the Bellflower Unified School District's main office. Very unfriendly looks and zero customer service as I was asked for the name of my student. I was given the paperwork necessary and started to fill it out. Meanwhile, one of the women who was working in the office came over and told me that they've been through a lot and that I should understand that the building is locked down now. I told her that there has been no communication with the customers (parents of children in this School District) and that how was I supposed to know if no one told me. Other employees chimed in and made more excuses about why appointments were necessary now. All the while I was getting dirty looks and treated poorly as if I was not supposed to be there. Finally, someone who I presume was the manager came over and shut the excuses and conversation down and apologized for the new policy. I turned in my paperwork and made my way out. All I can say is that these employees acted like scared mice in their office building and provided zero level of customer service. Dirty looks, excuses, poor attitudes and a general lack of desire to be friendly or helpful was the order of the day here. Exactly who are they supposed to be serving? The parents and the students. I think the employees of the BUSD main office need to understand why they are there and who funds their paychecks. They all need training in customer service on how to do simple things like smile, be friendly and how to not make excuses for poor policies.

"Individualized approach" here means you sit in the library with other people earning yellow slips…read morethat you have to save to prove to the principal that you passed the equivalent of a class credit. "Learn at your own speed" means you take the same tests over and over again so that you memorize the answers even though they count for different classes. I used to go here during the summer. It is not a collaborative environment because you are engaged in a series of tests to make up for classes you failed. This is nurturing and stimulating only if you think the proctor praising you for completing in two days is motivation for the other students.
