Ventura Elementary School

This school is probably one of the most poorly organized schools I've ever had to deal with. The front office staff seems like they are not experienced, just whoever they can find at the time to fill the spot. 99% of the staff speak Spanish on any given day, so good luck if you do not. Communication is not their strong suit, so don't expect much when it comes to events, papers sent home, flyers or notifications. They just don't do it. Bullying is an issue at this school, my child is constantly getting pushed, smacked, hit, scratched, etc and I have yet to be notified about any of these events. The overall vibe I get from the kids at this school is they do not have manners or a good background at home. Instead of a school, when I walk inside, I feel like it is a daycare. Speaking of daycare- Dramatic Ed is very poorly run because it is managed by teenagers. Every single afternoon, I have to get out of my car and approach the workers to find my child because they are never outside doing their job. Some of them like to even get an attitude with the parents, I've seen it happen daily. As far as my overall feelings of this school: If this is your zoned school, I would advise you to apply for a different school. Some of the teachers probably try hard to change the stigma that this school has and I appreciate that, but it isn't working. This school needs to implement more structure and enrichment beyond what they are doing.

tengo a mis dos ninas en esta escuela..ambas en dual y gifted gracias al empuje de sus maestras ,.Han aprendido muchisimo , se respeta el ritomo de aprendisaje de cada nino y los maestros siempre stan en comunicacion con los padres.

I have two kids(TWINS) at this school in Pre-Kindergarten and they have learned alot this year. They were taught sight words, shapes, colors, numbers and songs in both english and spanish. The homework system they have is very effective. My kids are ready for Kindergarten.

I am parent of a child,and the teacher like to discriminate the kids, because most of them are Hispanics and she's not, other thing is the teacher not helping the kids to grow up, and not attended them, then whe the report cards coming the teacher like to talk bad about your kids, like they don't know nothing, but is only because the teacher doesn't like the kids.so good luck for the kids that is gonna go for 2016 with that school with that can of teachers.
