Grace Miller Elementary School

I had 3 children attending this school from pre school. My oldest had severe medical issues, my middle child medical and Autism. My children did have many absences related to this, and my Autistic son was bullied two years in a row. Despite this being all on record, when the new principal started, there was nothing but problems. She went as far as trying to remove my child's medical device and revoked my Autistic child's permit (we are in Bonita unified school district). After 2 years of my son being bullied and suffering from extreme anxiety and stress, this principal revoked his permit, but not my youngest son's, after my son did not miss a day after being put on a attendance contract. We are very very happy with our home school, but what she put my son through is just unforgiving. He already had all the stress and anxiety and switching schools after being there for 6 years (beginning in the Autistic program) gave him so much more stress and his emotional well being was severely impacted. This same principal tried to tell me my Type 1 child was "ok" because she walked by his classroom and looked at him. He was not ok. His blood sugar was near 400. My children had some wonderful teachers, but the principal seemed very uncaring and rude. It has been a huge relief to be free of that. I can't even count how many times she tried to argue about a disease she knew nothing about. Thank you to the wonderful teachers.

The school district can't handle the before and after school care. They NEVER have enough space. They accept the prior year's students first so they're full before they open the enrollment for the rest of the students. There's little in the area for private afterschool care. So if you have a full-time job, just plan on quitting because, even if you wait years, you will NEVER EVER get into their before and after school care programs regardless of grade level. I wish we had never moved here. To add insult to injury, they get really rude and patronizing regarding the whole subject.

Excellent School! I love Grace Miller and I would recommend this school to all families!

Excellent! All 3 of my children (as well as myself, MANY years ago) have attended Grace Miller. We couldn't ask for a better school!
