Manuel Pena Jr. School

I've went to this school as a student and went back there after high school. My sister went to this school for awhile before being transferred to a school near our home. I must say that it has changed and it seems good. The teachers are motivating, supportive, and nice when they are teaching. Though "bullying" should be enforced some more.An they're fairly doing their best to improve the learning of the students. Especially their reading, they plan activities and do group work.

Not good, Not the worst. The teachers I have met in this school have been fairly nice. My son's teacher last year however did play "favorites" with some of her students and made it clear that she didn't like my son. My son was bullied a lot in kindergarten here. His teacher this year is struggling to help him because of the curriculum the school district has forced her to use. His teacher has spent much of her personal money and time to help her students; it seems that the school doesn't appreciate or care about their teachers. It seems very under-funded.

We recently moved here from CA and my daughter had attended 3/4 of the school year there, yet my new school district didn't want to accept her as a Kindergartener and denied her the right to finish the school year because she turned 5 in OCT vs. AUG... This Principle and district was the only one that had my daughters best interest at heart and allowed her to enroll and finish the school year in order to move on to 1st Grade... THANK YOU, Very Understanding!!!
