Lamarque Elementary School

We only have experience with one year at this school so we shall see how the new Principal handles things. I'm concerned about school safety.

Mr. Bruck is destroying a once wonderful school. I sometimes disagreed with Mrs. Mancheno and Mr. Johnson but always felt that their decisions came from a place of care and understanding. We now have students being mistreated, test scores have dropped dramatically, parent voices mean nothing, and morale is at an all time low since staff voices are not meaningful to him either. If you ever have a problem do not ask to speak with him. Ask for the assistant principal or just go over his head if you want someone to actually speak to you like a human being.

My son was the first class to go through this school. He is now in high school and my daughter is in 5th grade at Lamarque. Every teacher, minus just one or two have been wonderful. They have gone above and beyond, especially with my daughter who struggles. Mr. Johnson was a wonderful principal who did so many great things for that school and he will be missed! Mrs. Long is fantastic and will do great things as Vice Principal. I moved out of this school district many years ago and still choose to drive my child to school rather than change because I'm so happy with this school! A+++ in my book!

The new principal is a bully, He smiles and acts like he cares for students. The only students he cares about are the ones that make him look good. I pulled my son out and I am asking parents to ask questions really see what is going on. A flawed system with a bully in charge horrible.
