Absolutely disgusted with the way this school handled my 7 year old daughters sexual harassment…read moreexperience. We recently moved to Murrieta from Orange County in December for a better community and a nicer neighborhood. Today, I pick her up from school and she tells me that a boy in her class inappropriately touched her private parts after crawling under his desk to get to her! She very specifically described it as him crawling under his desk and putting two fingers and rubbing in circular motion. I'm sorry what??? I did not get a single call, email or did anyone try to reach out to me from school today to tell me about this incident. Instead, I get an email from her teacher about her not finishing her 3 coloring pages she was given during class time. The same class time she got sexually touched? I wouldn't finish my work either! When I brought it up to the teachers attention about what I was told, she told me she was AWARE of the incident, told administration and assumed they would have relayed the message. NOPE! Not only did the teacher NOT bring it up to my attention, but ADMINISTRATION couldn't either??? She said "it was being handled appropriately" I'm sorry, in what way? Because as the parent of the child who got wrongly touched, I would've expected a call regarding a boy and inappropriate behavior! But I received nothing! In the 3 months she's been at this school, I can get an email over her talking and not finishing her work. But I can't get an email when another student touches her in a way no 7 year old should EVER be touch? In first grade? My girl having to tell me about what other kids are doing to her at this school? Innocent or ignorant? Let's not even get started on her getting bullied and punched in the eye by a girl in her class! For the sake of underage children, I'll block out the names. But here's the email I got in response to my concern and frustration in the school! I'm disappointed in this school, disappointed in the administration and staff. But most importantly, disappointed in the boy who learned such wrong behavior from the people who are supposed to teach him right and wrong!

Mrs. Rabe, thank you so much for helping Kiko grow into the fine young lady she is today. You have been an integral part of her growth. It does not go unnoticed. You believed in her when she didn't believe in herself. Educators have a special place in the hearts of children. The three educators that were part of my children's lives will be remembered for a life time. The promotion ceromonies were amazing and fitting for the accomplishments. I was able to watch my TK daughter recite the alphabet backwards. That is truely amazing Mrs. Gutierrez. Thank you for being part of Athenas life. Dr. Manami, Thank you for your proactiveness to the issues that came up this school year. You're a great example of the leader you are and the institution should feel lucky to have you. The Think Together Staff and Miss Ashley You all care so deeply about our children and their growth. Thank you for all the great memories our children will share for a lifetime. Now on to summer break! Enjoy you all deserve it.

Our experience at Warm Springs Middle School has been deeply concerning, especially when it comes…read moreto student safety. Bullying is a serious issue here and doesn't seem to be taken as seriously as it should be. My child has witnessed--and unfortunately been affected by--multiple incidents of physical fights on campus, some of which were barely addressed by staff. It's alarming how common these altercations are, and how little follow-up there seems to be. We expected a safe and supportive environment for learning, but instead found ourselves constantly worried about our child's well-being. When we brought up concerns to administration, the response felt dismissive and reactive rather than proactive. This school desperately needs stronger leadership when it comes to campus safety, clear policies around bullying, and more supervision during breaks and passing periods. Students should feel protected and valued, not scared to go to school. If I could give 0 stars I absolutely would.

I am writing this review on behalf of my Grandsons and my family…read more My daughter attended this school back in 1996- 1999. She is now raising her own kids, and I have the pleasure in assisting her. From the day my first Grandson, was in Transitional Kindergarten, to present, has been a positive experience. He is now 3rd grade. He has had the fortune to have had Mrs. Faye, Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. Rain, (sp) Mrs Esquival, and now Mrs. Skeens. I have only positive things to say about this Murrieta school. My second Grandson, has Mrs. Airebear. Every body loves Mrs. Airebear!!! Especially my Grandson! I would especially like to Thank Leslie and Jaqui in the office for every single time we walk through their doors. They are helpful and very professional in all they do for our kids. Whether I call them on the phone, or present myself in person, great staff in the office holding this school together! Last but not least, I haven't met him in person, but, I have watched this man from the drive up lanes, from the parking lot, walking through the halls, at award ceremonies, flag days, jogathons, picking up and dropping off day to day, and he just stuns the life out of me. He is genuine and sincere about keeping our kids safe. He is Alta's Principal. Mr. Cooley, I hope I spelled your name correctly. You rock! My Grandsons and my family, say Thank You, for keeping them safe. Greatest school in Murrieta! You will not be disappointed. I am shocked that more parents have not reviewed this school. After all, our children spend over half their lives here. 20 million stars for ALTA Murrieta Elementary!

Ms. Caldwell and Mr. Coley have always gone above and beyond, with all the students they see on a daily basis they somehow manage to personally greet my kiddo and the fact that they are so invested in the kids here really shows. This school is safe, fun, and staffed with amazing teachers. We are so grateful for all the staff here who make this school the great place that it is.
