"It is obvious from the reviews on this website that some people are simply ignorant of how schools actually work. First, the principal does not have a choice as to whether combo classes are created. Most schools have them. If there are too many students at one grade level for one class and not enough for two, how would you solve the problem? If you have a better solution than our school district, please enlighten us. Teachers must be assigned according to how many students are at each grade level. That is a fact in every school, not just this one. Second, the scores on the 2011 CST at every grade level, except one, in L.A., Math and Science rose in 2011. Some scores rose dramatically, one from 16% to about 56%. Obviously, we are on the way up, not down. Many programs were put in place last year and teachers gave many hours of their time to help our diverse population. It worked. With workers rather than quitters, scores will continue to climb. I would urge everyone, rather than ranting and raving, to look at the facts, and if you find a problem, present a solution. As I tell my students, "Winners make the grade; whiners make excuses.""

"This school continues to go downhill. The principal keeps combining grade levels so teachers can't even teach one cirriculum and don't have the time for two. Teachers like Mrs. Finch, Mrs. Stephens and Mrs. Lee are excellent teachers but can't keep up with principal demands being moved around, combining grades, etc. She refuses to listen to parents. Scores have dropped in the years she has been there and continue to drop. The kids are suffering because of it. I have to come here and hate every minute of it. I will keep trying to transfer out at all costs! The parental involvement is the only thing keeping this school afloat."

"It is amazing that all I read from the parents and others is from the parents that have moved on. There must be something here that keeps you coming back,. for some of us we cant move do to the fact that we cant find a way there or cant get in to other schools. We make do with what we have. We help our kids the best way we can and thats being there for them. For you down below to bash the PTA, please that is the last thing on a parents mind. Some of them (PTA) do wonders for the school and like any other school some dont. We as parents need to come together and do what we feel is right for children. If that means moving your child its ok but dont put us down for staying here. That makes you just as bad. I am sorry that you have had to move and it did not work for you here but that is how things work, so lets all of us move on and enjoy the schoois that we are in, good or bad."

"To the parent below, It looks to me as if the parent DID speak up. I have plenty of experience at this school as well and I agree that it is horrible! I did try to fix them and I spoke up too. I was EXTREMELY involved so please don't say we complain and don't do anything. You couldn't be more wrong. I got so sick of trying that I had to leave and move my child. It is so peaceful at the new school so as for saying there will be problems anywhere we go, I'm sure that's true for the most part but at least the problems are more geared towards the students and their issues, not the petty parents (meaning the PTA) trying to take over an elementary school to make themselves feel important and verbally attacking other parents and talking like truck drivers infront of the students! To the parent below defending this school, maybe you just don't know how good you could have it at another school so you think this dump is good. Maybe you should do some research."
