Wright Elementary has major safety issues. My 6 year old son was allowed to leave a club inside the school and stand outside the school alone waiting for the bell to ring so he could enter the playground. When I approached the teacher, she acted as though she didn't know anything about the incident and tried to put blame on my son saying that he is "independent." She tried telling me that my son doesn't answer her and one day she pulled him back by his shoulder to talk to him and he teared up. So she let him go so he wouldn't cry. She never called me to inform me of this. I then took my issue to the principal and waited a month to meet with her. She told me she would get back to me after speaking with the teacher the following day. That was a month ago. I'm still waiting for that phone call.......

Also, just the other day a student was "missing" for over 2 hours. They were scowering the school looking for him. It turns out he decided to stay in the playground after lunch instead of returning to class.

That is just unacceptable. This school needs to be investigated. Close Quote

This school is great! The teachers and staff have been so caring and wonderfully nice! Mr. Lewis has been the best teacher my little girl has had! And she has gone to private schools and 10 star rated schools. My daughter says it has been the best years of her life in that school, she says she loves the teachers and staff! Also I just wanted to say that San Joaquin is the worst!! THE WORST!! School ever and if you are reading this don't go to that school!!!!!!!! And if you do! and your kids complain too bad!!! Because I told you!! That's all!! WE LOVE WRIGHT WRANGLERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Close Quote
