The front parking lot is large and it was easy for me to park the truck. I walked in and the halls are wide and tall and decorated with positivity and team pennants. The colors are light and bright. The room we used for our class was well equipt to accommodate plugging in a couple dozen Chromebooks/ laptops. Chairs were comfortable. The big screen computer on the wall allowed us all to see the slide decks. Sound system was great. Bathrooms were large, clean and appreciated. The building manager was able to make sure the water was on for us right away when the class started. It was a good day! Thank you Escobedo MS for lending us your facilities.

Overall, I came here for my daughter's Volleyball game and it is a beautiful school with a small gym but very clean. I like how there was also a food truck there as well. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star is because the parking stalls are a bit compact (and being that I am originally from Hawaii, we have compact stalls there) and someone scratched my car when they opened their door.

Not the worst, but far from what it should be…read more I'll be honest--I wanted to love this place. At first glance, it checks some important boxes: clean buildings, a decent variety of after-school programs, and a lot of buzz about being "one of the better schools" in the area. But after spending real time here, that reputation doesn't hold up under closer inspection. The good stuff? Sure, it's there. The campus is well-kept and looks great, and my kids have genuinely enjoyed a few of the clubs they've tried. I'll also say that some of the teachers are passionate and communicative. You can tell they care. But unfortunately, the strong ones feel outnumbered by the ones who seem to have checked out. And that's where things start to unravel. Too often, we've seen teachers point fingers at students or parents instead of taking ownership when something clearly goes wrong in the classroom. That mindset makes it hard to trust the process. Meanwhile, the people running the show? It feels like their main goal is image control. Even when serious concerns are raised, the focus shifts to silencing criticism instead of solving problems. Don't even get me started on the pickup line. It's pure chaos. Traffic spills into the streets, everyone's blocking everyone else, and there's no system in place to fix it. You'll spend 30+ minutes in your car daily, just hoping no one gets into an accident. As for academics, it's hit or miss. In some cases, the material seems to come straight from pre-made internet templates--no adaptation, no passion, and sometimes, no clear understanding of the topic from the person teaching it. Honestly, I've found better explanations on YouTube. Other things worth noting: There have been situations involving extremely unprofessional conduct between staff members--yes, during the school day. I've also seen confidential student information passed around carelessly, which is incredibly upsetting for any parent. And the school's reaction to these concerns? Defensive. Instead of addressing the issue, they turned their attention to the parent who spoke up, even threatening to revoke their campus access. That says a lot about their priorities. Bottom line: There are bright spots here, but they're clouded by serious problems in leadership, culture, and accountability. If you're considering this school, go in with your eyes wide open. It might look good on paper, but reality paints a more complicated picture.

If you're one of the "favorites" then this school will be great for you.... But if not then I would…read morerecommend looking elsewhere. There are many dedicated teachers and staff at this school..... but overall the community is very "clique" and if you're not cool enough then you won't have the same experience as the "favorites".... Class sizes are huge and the teachers are overwhelmed. My sons classes last year both had 30+ kids..... The school building does not allow for that many students but they over pack the school to get more money. For example there is a lower grade wing and an upper grade wing but b/c of over crowding the 6th grade classes are split up with one being in the upper grades and one being next to kindergarten.... The SPED resource room is shared among 4-5 adults trying to simultaneously "teach" core subjects all at the same time with dividers in the room. The room is often more chaotic then the actual classroom. The other interventionists use pillows on the floor to pull kids for reading intervention. None of the specials(art/music/PE) teachers have a classroom. They travel to the classrooms on carts. There is no true self-contained classroom as they are trying to do some sort of full inclusion model.... so children with extreme disabilities are in the same room as their peers for the majority/entire school day. This is a disadvantage to the students who are trying desperately to learn but are constantly distracted by the outburst of special needs children. In order to pull off a full inclusion model the school would need to actually hire much more SPED staff to assist within the classroom. The way they currently operate is not safe for the students with adverse behaviors nor the typical peers within the classrooms..... It also often leaves the students with higher needs receiving less quality instruction and more "glorified babysitting" to just pass the time during the day...... The current SPED staff do not have an in house leader either... The split second, in the moment decisions are left to the teachers and staff b/c the SPED director is not in the state of Nevada. All in all when it came down to wanting to feel a sense of belonging and community, this school did not fulfill our family's needs. Really thought that the sports program would bring more to my kids lives but my sons didn't connect with the coach they way I had hoped. Was really hoping for a solid male role model for them but it didn't happen. My most recent issue with the school was that my older son has severe emotional disorders..... which is the ONLY reason I enrolled him at this school.... The promises to my son were not kept. They are not doing right by my child as promised and that is literally directly related to the "clique" situation and I'm not a favored parent anymore. He will be leaving the school as soon as I can figure ANYTHING else out.... like this weekend..... especially since the sports are expensive and he didn't make connections the way I had hoped. I'm disappointed b/c I trusted that this school truly had my family's best interest at heart..... but that is not the case. All in all, do your research before deciding on a school for your child(ren). I personally believe in charter over most CCSD schools, however it all depends on the staff and policies. I have definitely seen horrible charter schools and horrible public and private schools. https://nevadareportcard.nv.gov/di/ This website is a great source for information regarding academic ratings, students enrolled, safety, etc. https://online.nvdoe.org/#/VerifyLicense This is a great source to see whether or not a teacher holds a teaching license.

My child's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Margolis, was phenomenal. She was upbeat, professional, engaging, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about the students and loved teaching. Unfortunately, things have steadily gone downhill since then. First grade did not meet the expectations I had hoped for, but I never imagined the experience would decline this much. Mrs. Brown is honestly the worst teacher I have ever encountered. She has a very flat affect, lacks engagement with the students, and struggles to teach material in a way children can actually understand and retain. My child has consistently been an honor roll student, so this is not an issue of capability or effort. What has been equally disappointing is the lack of support from administration. The headmaster, Mrs. Johnson, is not approachable and appears completely uninterested in parent concerns or feedback. Attempts to communicate issues feel dismissed rather than addressed. It is incredibly disheartening to watch a school that once felt nurturing and academically strong become such a frustrating experience for both students and parents.

**NO STARS** I am…read moreonly adding a start to this review because it is the only way that I can't post my experience! My children and I are new to this school but we've been apart of CCSD for about 4 years now and the 3 weeks of school so far have been the worst experience when it comes to dealing with the office staff! The school we came from worked so efficiently that it is literally giving me aneurysm daily to deal with these people! 1. School starts at 8:00 but they CLOSE AND LOCK the gates at 7:58 every morning! Here's why that is an issue. For one the gates only open at 7:40. So if your closing the gates early your giving SEVEN GRADE LEVELS of children and parents about 18 mins to get on campus and to class. AND THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD! But here's the catch, you can easily sit in the drop of line to drop your kid off for 5-10 mins because the staff "monitoring" the drop off are doing all but that! So you have parents at the front of the line almost completely getting their kids ready out of the car in the drop of line holding everyone up, and no one is saying anything! But when you sit there for 5 mins because you can't reach the point to safely let your child out of the car, they have no problem knocking on your window telling you to now get out of line, park, and go inside to sign your student in late! Also this morning in particular, since this has happened a few times, I actually walked my kids to school because I've had issues in the drop off line, I told the staff at 7:58 am IN THE OFFICE (and this is after I walked from the closed gate on the south side of the school) that I would not be signing the form because my child was not late and she literally told me "don't worry we'll fill it out for you". I'm sorry but I do not recall signing anything that said if I REFUSED TO SIGN, the front office staff had authority to ignore me and to sign on my behalf! 2. The power trip and condescension. I read other reviews before posting mine about someone who stated they were hung up on multiple times. The first week of school I needed my son's teachers contact information because she was new to the school and hadn't been completely set up so I called the front office. When they initially answered the phone, I was immediately put on hold for more than 5 minutes, which I understood being the first week! HOWEVER I am a parent just as the people in the office are so if I had to wait my turn to be helped once you pick up that phone, I should be helped. I asked for the contact information, the woman who answered the phone directed me to where she believed the information was, and when I told her that I was having no success locating it and requested that she please give it to me. She told me that it was too busy in the office and I would have to hold. She did not ask me did I mind being on hold or if I could hold, she made a statement and immediately threw me on hold before I could respond. Mind you I had already been on hold for over 5 mins waiting my turn and when she picked up the phone she did not truly address my concern! I called back six times before someone else picked up the phone and decided to help me because apparently she must've known that it was me calling back because each one of those calls no one spoke, the phone was picked up, there was no greeting spoken, and it was placed on hold immediately! Additionally, there is an older blonde (white at this point) in the front office that I am almost 100% sure was the Regina George of her time! She will smile and have a chippery tone but what comes out of her face is condescending and rude! Not sure if she was the one that I had the issue over the phone with or if it was the Hispanic lady that is new and doesn't have a clue ‍ but something has to be done! I am in contact with the school district to hopefully make a difference but if someone from the district happens to see this, please run an attendance report for the first 3 weeks of school on every grade! I can almost guarantee the numbers are disgusting because your staff could do better! This is an elementary school NOT a Jr. High, middle, or high school! These children are still reliant on their parents and your making things hard for the parents and penalizing the children in the process!

This review is specifically for the principal, the front secretary, and Mrs Carter 3rd grade…read moreteacher. They 100% do not know what they are doing and just follow an outline for their jobs. When dealing with a student who has behavioral issues the principal here does not listen and think she knows all. The parent can tell these individuals to their face what to do de-escalate the situation, then they look at you, tell you you're wrong, and continue to escalate the situation putting the child in harms way. The secretary will act nice, yet threaten you and the child and when you call her bluff she sits there and does absolutely nothing and will try to retaliate when wanting to get more information on a situation about your child. She will give no info and hang up multiple times all because you did not follow her directions. Now to Mrs. Carter. When a child how has behavioral issues and kids continue to pick on them and the child comes and tells her that this is going on, and she completely ignores it because she doesn't feel like she has to deal with this situation, and also plays favorites in her classroom, is wrong. When the child comes up with a complaint and you know if this behavior from other students is going to escalate the problem, why do you tell the student multiple times to just ignore it? Why does she not talk with the other students at all and only brush off the one student with behavioral issues knowing that others are going to trigger him? Talk about not knowing how to handle a classroom or basically wanting to start a problem in the class because you don't like a certain student in the 3rd grade. Honestly pitiful. Now in no way is the student not at fault because the behaviors that are shown should not happen, but if the student is giving a warning and telling the people that are suppose to be teaching and watching them in the classroom that something is going on for an entire year of school, they are giving these staff members warning that they can't handle it. To brush them off and do nothing at all is not professional at all. All think all 3 of these individuals need to be looked at by the school district. I know it won't happen. I've worked in the school district in the past and they all cover up for each other especially with the teacher shortages going on, but 100% these three do not know how to deal with kids, or parents who also again voice their concern as well as give them the tools that are needed to de-escalate a situation but they go do their own thing and make it worse. Horrible 3 right there so watch out because if anything happens that is not in a teachers manual you're at of luck. They don't know or understand real life situations or how to interact with anyone unless it's in a manual!
