I spent the worst years of my life here, i use a therapist constantly to discuss my trauma from this school. after being bullied and sexually harassed by a teacher, nothing was done. a photo of me without clothing was taken without my knowledge was shared around, and i fought the girl who took it. I was suspended, she wasn't. There was another incident when a boy attacked a girl, severely injuring her. This school put me through absolute hell, I've never recovered from the time i've been here.

Let me start by saying I've had my child attend this school for the past two years and I'm really…read moredisappointed in the lack of management from school administration, not protecting children from buying "stuff" from the back of a truck that parks right by the school bus gate, or buying drinks as well as unhealthy snacks from the seller pushing a mobile fruit cart. You know, the ones with a huge umbrella and visible cut fruit. Firstly about this truck, I did not write down the license plate number but I approached the front office three times and told the 2 elderly receptionists that my child was being short changed by $7 cash each time that truck parks next to the school. This truck is open for illegal business selling "stuff" that includes assorted American and Mexican candies (maybe containing Lead) as well as not providing a visible business license or reporting tax information to the bureau. I told the receptionist I wanted to talk to the school principal and the receptionist simply said "I'll take your number and name down and pass on the information." I never got a phone call from anyone. I REALLY DON'T KNOW what these people are selling in the back of their truck but I've noticed its being sold by adults displaying unsavory character playing annoying loud music. At one point I came back to the front office and I asked if I should call the police. The same receptionist said she will make sure the vice-principal walks the perimeters so to chase away these people who sell out of their trucks. The sellers are still there off and on during the week...you can see them as you walk your kid away from school where the yellow buses park. On to the problem with the seller of unhealthy snacks/drinks from the mobile cart. She has been warned about advertising her snacks/Takis and drinks on the school's sidewalk that she has moved her business to the dangerous corner of 59th street and 36th ave. (imagine lots of car passing by on a narrow street, people walking everywhere without looking both ways). I was told that as long as the seller is not near/on the school's sideway then there is nothing the school can do. The seller wears gloves but it is the same gloves that is touching cash bills and making juice drinks at the same time. There is no water station, alcohol wipes, or diluted bleach wash solution to clean her cart or hands. Other students have complained to me that this seller has also short changed them of dollars but they were too scared to ask for their change. Perhaps I need to take matters into my own hands and contact the California tax board about these small businesses evading taxes and shut them down. How long does this need to continue? Does a student need to get sick from eating unhealthy drinks made by unsanitary gloves before the school does anything? There needs to be a jump start on the principal leadership, it is nearly non-existent. I believe the teacher quality is above satisfactory. The parent involvement can be above average if we all can be more vocal about problems encountered at this school so to get the administration off their chairs and do something. PS- I even checked this school's rating on www.greatschools.org and Peter Burnett scored 3/5 stars. There is a bully problem at this urban school that even locking the front gate with a metal chain does not control student behavior or keep students from encountering unsavory adults selling "stuff aka assorted candies".

I first went to this elementary school about five or six years ago as a kid, I am now a high school…read moreSophomore, and let me tell you that this elementary school has given me some of the most nostalgic and best memories I've ever had in my life. Maybe I give this school a five star purely because of the soft spot I have for it, but I digress. I would 100% recommend this school for any parent that wants their child to have a great time during school, or to give them beautiful memories of their youth. I am not sure what they are up to nowadays (perhaps I'll return one day to check up with the teachers and principal) but from my knowledge, every year at the end before summer vacation, they have a huge school field day party with water slides, food, candy, and music blasting from huge speakers, and for the 6th graders around the spring time in May, every 6th grade teacher takes their entire class to a field trip at a camp named Leoni Meadows and it's such a fun experience that your child won't ever forget about. With Zip-lining, to hiking, the environment your child will be around is Mind blowing. There is also After school programs (ASES) and the staff there is so caring as well. Want your child to enroll in summer school? Peter Burnett also provides a summer school program that shows your child a way of learning in a fun and educational way, I still remember memories I had with my classmates in summer school. And lastly, the principal and teachers there are so amazing and caring (Shout out to my 5th grade teacher Mr.Decker) and Mr.Huezo is such a great principal, the man cares for his job and does a great work at what he's supposed to do, he'll treat your child as if it was his own, and he cares for all of them despite what others might say, he's a great role model for your kid, and he'll treat them with the upmost respect. The school also provides a nursing room with a nurse that takes care of your kid, and there is also a library that has a caring librarian. From field trips, to learning, this school WILL BE the perfect place for your child to learn, and to make nostalgic and beautiful memories while also making caring friends along the way, I have a soft spot for this school as a high schooler, and I know your child will have the same feeling as well when he grows up :)
