Blythe Park Elementary School

I found this school troublesome. If you fit into the community of Riverside, which is a tight small high end community, your experience will be positive. We did not. Instead I found the parents involved in cliches and the PTA was simply an extension of this closed off atmosphere. The teachers (and parents) gossiped incessantly about the students and their families to the point it became oppressive to deal with year after year. When you live in a very small community, gossip can be extremely harmful and painful to deal with. It's a form of bullying.

This is such a superb school and we are trying to find its equivalent in as we just moved out of state and are having such a difficult time. The teachers are caring, professional and very dedicated to our kids. Mr. Chleboun (principal) is available and truly a great leader. The PTA is terrific. And Mrs. Marchuck in the office sets the cheerful tone throughout the school. A++++! We miss Blythe Park! What a truly wonderful place for 2 of my kids to get their start at school. I must add that the kids themselves are really special too - so very good to each other.

The teachers are dedicated to teaching the students there!
