Ione Elementary School

TK/K Teachers have nothing short of fantastic

Great! I did Kindergarten, and I was happy before I moved!

School is more worried about getting extra Money and keeping kids in special ed programs then doing their job and teaching. 461 students and over 20% of the kids are enrolled in special ED. I hear this gives the school extra revenue. Now I hear they have a lice break-out and it wasn't from the office, but from another parent

At first we really liked this school... and then we started to see that there isn't much "follow through" from the office and although some teachers are great (we love Mrs. Ohm! ) there are a few that should not be teaching at all. There is a problem with Bullying at the school, and administration doesn't seem to give it much more than lip service. There has been a few pretty big outbreaks of Lice this year, and we have yet to receive a notice that they were doing checks, and our Children had to tell us. I would definitely like to see a more thorough administrative staff that checks on the students and teachers a little more thoroughly. Luckily for us, our children don't require a lot of attention and we work with them at home, but I have heard repeatedly from other involved parents that children requiring a little more attention are not having their needs met. Parental involvement is a must with every child, but in my opinion, this school requires a little extra to maintain a good education for your child
