Palmdale Learning Plaza School

I have 4 kids attending and so far it’s been a great experience.

I’m giving Palmdale learning Plaza a one overall review.

Please read the wonderful article about this at: Lawyer4Children.com

Dear parents, Hello I am a student at Palmdale Learning Plaza going into eighth grade. As a student I have witnessed first hand all of what I am complaining about. I will be leaving next year thankfully and I just hope there will be less students forced to go to this horrible school. As I am thirteen I wanted to be a slight bit more independent at school and be respected at school by teachers like the young adult I am and yet here I am not. Most of the MYP teachers look down on students and one even screams at students on the daily in an attempt to intimidate the students so he can control his classroom. Another thing is that the MYP students have none of the privlages granted to other students in the district that are in the same grade. Including disgusting lunches, no snack bars, vending machines, forced to waste most of their lunch period on the black top in order for the younger kids to have a lunch recess on the field playground and handball courts, have to stay with the same students while switching classes throughout the day and, have to stay in the smallest building on the campus all for five out of seven periods. But my opinion is not only biased by the MYP program but also by the PYP program. During my 2 years in the PYP program I hated having to wear uniforms for the first time and your kid(s) will too. Also how we seem to get out the latest in the whole district at 4 o'clock. Plus the start time at 9 o'clock is completely inconvenient for parents who work earlier than that. Another thing for parents concerned with their children or for students with asthma how safe is it really to have children exposed to the fumes of the freeway every time they leave the classroom. My last warning is that the school is in bad area of town where many homeless people camp out and very close to 2 gas stations where they could easily taken after school by anyone walking on the streets. I hope this was useful. Sincerely, A Student
