Sam V. Curtis Elementary School

Curtis elementary has really stepped up there game. I wrote a review in april 2014 about certain things that bothered me about the school but that was because of a bad experience with a Curtin teacher. But since then it's been improving. My daughters 4 and 5 grade teacher Mrs. Lebre is wonderful she really takes her time with each student. And the kids really love her. There has been more activity at school that require parent involvement which is great. The now assistant principal is great she has been a very good addition to the school. The olny real issue is drop off and pick ups still. There has been no improvement. The first 4days of schiol parking enforcement was out giveing ticket to poor parents trying to get there nervous kids to there new teachers on time. Sad. I think using more cones to help the flow of parents blocking entrances would be nice and I wish they could have someone outside in mornings helping move cars along. Instead of parents parking and getting out of car to walk kids up. There can be designated staff or parent volunteers. To get kids to there area safely. Just pull up drop off and go no parking and blocking the flow of traffic. Ive seen other schools do this effectively like amith elementary. We can hope cant we. Anyway decent school great staff and all-around safe learning environment.

I am so appreciate of the principal, Mr. Vince Rollins, and the Vice Principal, Mr. Albert Gutierrez. Both have made me and my child feel comfortable. These are truly exceptional individuals. Both have been patient with their time and have answered all my questions. Their warmth, their love for children and education exudes from them every day. I appreciate them for what they did for my children. The teaching staff is exceptional. Some teachers that really stood out for me were Mrs. Stewart, Mr. Yoshimitsu and Mr. Solomon. I wished they all followed my children to middle school. The front office staff is excellent and I have noticed that a nurse is on site regularly. I saw lots of teachers participate in school events after school. This to me shows a dedicated staff. One weakness of the school is lack of parent support in the PTO. When I came to a meeting there were only a few parents who didn't participate very much. Sometimes when I walked on campus there would be trash and debris. The school should be cleaner and neater in appearance.

I love this school! I have had 4 children go through this school and every one of them has been successful. The principal and assistant principal are great! They take the steps necessary to ensure that every child is successful. The teaching staff is all kind and caring. You don't even need to request that your child get a specific teacher because they are all great. The secretary is friendly and accommodating. The campus is always clean and my children felt safe there. They have after-school sports programs that are always successful. I am so glad I chose to send my children to Curtis Elementary.

I haved been going to this school sense kinder .My grade wer bad, but they improve to an f to an A.
