Granada Elementary Community Charter

This school is a disappointment. Unfortunately, I had to move from our hometown and enrolled my son here. He has always been a kid that gets excited to go to school. Since moving here, he is always unhappy to go, his teacher is rude and passive aggressive, the school is a mess in itself. You can’t ever tell who is a yard supervisor, kids do whatever they want in the playground. I would never recommend this school to anyone. The staff in the office aren’t professional at all and will leave you talking to yourself if someone they know walks in or needs something. Will be taking my son out of here.

This school is so diverse in the needs of its students who come from many outside neighborhoods. The great thing about Granada is that it accepts and supports ALL students regardless of their abilities or circumstances. Many schools can't say that. The students continue to make steady progress at this school, whether they come in lower or higher academically than students at other schools. It's an elementary experience that nurtures a love of learning that sets the tone and follows the students for the rest of their lives.

the teachers rock! If the local people can stop sending thier kids to other schools, we can bring our community feeling back

Overall the teachers are wonderful. The principal is the problem, she sweeps bullying problems under the rug, Also everything must be in cash. (field trips, fundraisers, tee-shirts) Is that even legal? Why are parents not allowed to write checks? The campus is dreary, no bright colors,flowers,the garden is dead. Children need a bright, creative environment this school looks like a prison. Lack of school spirit is just sad. Other public schools do much better with their fundraisers. (Tulsa,Darby, Van Gogh to name a few.) there is potential, it could be a creative,bright school for the children, the teachers are wonderful it is Miss Van Houton, who sets the tone. She is lazy ,and uncaring.
