Mountain View Elementary School

Gifted kids are used to teach other children. Child labor laws are in place for a reason. The guidance counselors criticize parents; teachers patronize parents; and administrators use name calling and extensive social harassment towards parents if they do not win a discussion about the child's welfare. Go to another school.

Fantastic school. The grounds are kept beautifully, the people who work there are compassionate and care about their student’s progress. There’s more focus on each individual child and their needs verses just getting high scores on a standardized test.

A zero. If you don't want to be a teacher for young kids then don't. It's not a pay check. these kids are people's kids who send them to school to learn and be cared for with love and compassion. I will never recommend this school. And now my son is scared to enter into kindergarten because of what has happened as this school. He should love going to school not act in fear or sadness when going to school. Also lots of curriculum was pushed on PRE SCHOOLERS. Things they shouldn't be expected to learn while they are PRE SCHOOLERS. If anything it just stresses them out and makes them fear learning. I shouldn't even have to make these points to educators about excessively pushing information on toddlers. but that's just another reason why I hated this school.

This school needs cultural diversity within its staff and teachers. The teachers need training in professionalism while dealing with parents of all cultures. The teachers need help understanding early childhood development so they could better address issues with the children in Lower grades, and military background. Some of there teachers need to understand the difference in questions of concern and combative. This is not a bad school they have great programs, but they needs to utilize more take home apps for accademic improvement. My child’s grades dropped in this school, and I was treated like a threat for being concerned and asking what could I do to help, only to find out I wasn’t the only parent with these concerns. If the leadership was more impartial they could help both sides improve grades and parent teacher relations as of now they need work. (My comments are specific to the issues I had with my childs teacher, the 1st grade VP, and the Principal but I was not alone with my concerns.)
