Murrieta Elementary School

I have two of my kids in this school. They have been there now for 3 years and they love the school, staff and teachers. The school provides so many after school programs that they enjoy participating.

The teachers that we have had over the past four school years have been exceptional in their teaching abilities. My son has excelled in all areas academically and is naturally a little reserved socially. I see daily during drop off, pick up, volunteering during school and at school events that boys are overwhelmingly disciplined/reprimanded more often and more severely than girls for similar offenses. I have one of each with similar personalities and behaviors and noone has ever batted an eye at my daughter. The tone and anger with the boys for simple indiscretions such as running or talking too loudly has made my son a nervous wreck. He told me he's a bad kid because he's always getting in trouble. None of these "trouble" incidents have been big enough to constitute a call home or ever a casual mention to me so I don't think he's doing anything out of the ordinary. I've witnessed it on many occasions and it's not a good feeling to see young children get bullied.

I have had children at this school for the past 9 years and all of them have had great experiences! The current principal and VP are amazing and the concern and care they show for the students is very impressive. Yes we have had some teachers we have liked more than others but overall it is a wonderful school that I would highly recommend.

This school is definitely not the best in the district. The office staff is rude, no one even says hello, or smiles for that matter. Crossing guards are rude. My childs teacher is good, she seems to really care about her students. The school is older than most in this town, and pretty run down .
