When school started I had so many problems with brining my daughter to this new school in first grade, through the year the teachers have risen concerns, and when I have been to my daughters doctor and explained the situation, she asked me to have them fill out a form, the form they filled out makes my daughter look like there is nothing wrong with her ability to learn where in fact that is the presice problem I have been having myself with her at home, with tutors and with others trying to help my daughter. I have sought out help in other places but sadly the teachers are not invested and neither is the school. thoughts about another school! Now, that school is coming to a close I hope my daughter passes first grade, both her teachers threatened me with that if my daughter didn't have a computer at home, she would fail first grade. I am low income single mother of 3 kids and I was forced to purchase something I could not afford. I hate this school. My daughter also attends after care and is constantly being bullied by some girls. One in particular is kept away from the other kids. Instead of teaching the kids they segregate the kids. What do you think they are learning by separating the girl. Nothing! that she can continue her behavior alone or get angrier and do it when the teachers aren't looking. And that's EXACTLY what is happening. You can not talk to the administration they all think they are right and that they know best! The system does not work!

I have been trying to get my daughter out of Spanish for Spanish speakers and the principal has not called back she keeps having the school counselor that does not speak English fluently to call me. They have now placed her in a. New homeroom that she has Spanish all week when I said I wanted her out of Spanish period.

Another year begins, no orientation, no letter advising what room to show up to, nothing! This schools lackluster attitude towards its responsibility is offensive at best. On one hand you have a superintendent who is cutting edge and wants to start teaching on the bus and on the other end of the spectrum you have this school, stuck in the stone ages, lugging around half your kids weight in books! What a shame and dis-service to the community its supposed to serve! We cant wait til we are free from this child day camp! The teachers, to an extent seem to be competent but seem to be painfully obliging in order to keep a job. I cant imagine a more dire situation! Is anyone listening?!

My daughter has attended this school since kindergarden and until she got to 3rd grade I thought wonder of the school. Unfortunately after she got to 3rd grade my thoughts about the school have changed. I personally feel the new principal is not keeping the school up to par like the previous one did. Yes Mrs. flannigan was strict but the school ran smoother than it is currently ruined by the new principal Lopez. the school functions are TOTALLY unorganized in every way. my daughter is now in 5th grade and the teacher she currently is with has been bullying her about a sharpener that broke and other kids blamed her for braking it. this teacher is telling her she needs to buy a new one for her everyday. not only that my poor daughter gets bullied by other kids in her school and this teacher doesn't do anything about it. I have emailed her about the bullying and supposedly it stopped but just days ago some kids made up a "contract" to get my daughter to move desks just because she is taller and sits upfront since she wears glasses and they told her to sign it. I can't stand other kids bullying my child & I have plenty of other complaints about the school. HORRIBLE SCHOOL!!!
