I was very scared when my son was going to start kindergarten because he had never before been to…read moreany type of daycare and didn't know how to write his name or hold a pencil. The first day of school he cries and didn't want to leave me. However now after one year he has progressed soo much and I can say it's due to the schools great curriculum along with the teachers and staff and the kids classmates. Thanks to Mrs Hernandez I saw my son slowly start to improve in everything. He grasped everything that he learned and was eager to go back to school everyday. He knew how to do his homework and needed little help from me and soon he was reading words and sentences whenever we would go out. This is one of the best schools and of coarse it's because it is located in a great school district but the teachers and staff are what make it great. I was afraid of bullying but the kids here really are respectful and there was nothing but nice and friendliness from everyone even the parents.

This review is in regard to Mrs. Bivens, first grade teacher at La Fetra…read moreElementary. She is heavy on "seatwork", and will bench kids for recess to finish coloring, even. Also, she restricted my son from a trick or treating field trip and tried to restrict him from another field trip. However, I spoke to the district, and this is not allowed. Field trips are educational and therefore a part of the curriculum not to be used as reward or punishment. Thankfully, my son has moved on. But, I walked past her class today and she called out to the first graders, "Come on guys, we're talking about going to the Fair here!", obviously employing the same tactics. BURNOUT!

After 2 months I made the decision to pull my kids out. My son was hit with a hydro flask intentionally in the eye. There was kids that witnessed the incident.

There wasn't any consequences for that student (it's all about who you know at the school and you get away with bad behavior). Academics are mediocre. Principal will tell You what you want to hear to enroll you and take your money.

I don't understand why the teacher & secertary are so rude to parents? Maybe they have been teaching too long and are just waiting to retire.

At least the PTA is nice and most parents are nice as well.
