Don Callejon School

Switching schools was the best thing we ever did. Our experience at Don Callejon was definitely not pleasant or memorable (in a good way). The teachers and staff were cold and often rude to students and parents. Our child was struggling with the material. At our new school, our child's test scores have dramatically increased.The new school has a more challenging curriculum but also teaches through a variety of methods and encourages all kids. It's not one size fits all. Additionally, we didn't like the open campus. The school assured parents that kids were safe because of the cameras. However, another parent was able to come on campus and talk to my child. This parent was upset their child traded Pokemon cards and wanted my child to give back the card. My child said this parent was angry and felt threatened by the parent. It is so easy for outsiders to walk on campus during drop off. During the chaos of kids playing and running to class, it would be very easy to overlook someone coming on campus that didn't belong, because there are so many ways for them to enter the very open campus. While nothing terrible happened, another parent shouldn't be able to come on campus to talk to someone else's child.

It is really good. My son has attended Kinder to 4th grade so far and each of the Teachers have been great.

I did not find my experience at this school to be a good one. We moved into the infamous "Rivermark" neighborhood based on everyone's rave reviews about this school, and now we regret doing so. The school has some major issues and most of the revolve around the lack of a basic solid education for the children that attend. One should not have to send a KINDER-aged child to tutoring in order to have them function properly in class!

it sucked, really bad to be honest
