What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, November 15, 2014

Having previously lived in Virginia and Pennsylvania, I am very disappointed with this school.

Saying this school has a GATE program is a joke. There is no specialist, GIEPs, support system or even differentiated instruction. Instead, gifted students are encouraged to read during down time or complete work in a different book. Nobody would ever hand an ESL student a Spanish-English dictionary and call it a day. So I will never understand why this is tolerated.

My son is in a class of 31 fourth graders with no teacher's aid. The student teacher ratio is publicly listed at being 22.5:1. Thirty students is too big of a class at the high school level-it's a disgrace in the 4th grade.

The drop off and dismissal here is pandemonium. Instead of the orderly drop off and pick up systems most elementary schools adhere to parents drive like maniacs. Rules aren't enforced and 600 kids are just let loose at the bell. This problem is made worse by the lack of school buses.

I understand that this may be good school according to California standards but there is a reason California's school system ranks 39th in the nation. Close Quote
