    "The morale at Poinsettia is the worst I've ever seen --there definitely needs to be more smiling going on here, in the office and on campus. Middle and lower class students really take a back seat academically and socially to the wealthier kids from Bressi Ranch. There are some good teachers and the facility itself is nice (however,)the parking situation is horrendous), but this is definitely not a blue-ribbon school in my book."

    "I find the teachers at this school to be very caring and dedicated. The PTA is amazing. Parent involvement is high. I would definitely recommend this school! Don't believe all the negative press...it's just not accurate. If it happens to be their perception, then it was an isolated event. Enough said!"

    "In all my time dealing with schools, teachers, staff members and such (which has been over 10 years), never in all that time have I run into such a poorly run school. The front office is run by extremely rude and incompetent people (one woman in particular more than anyone else, but we are not allowed to mention names here), and it is literally like pulling teeth to get the proper information you need when you have to deal with this person. It is the rudest office I have ever been in. And the teachers here are more concerned with taking disciplinary action and humiliating your child/ren in front of other classmates, than they are with actually teaching. It is so unnerving. We have experienced several problems with our child at this school and nothing has ever been taken seriously or remedied and, in fact, has only gotten worse as the months pass. To this day, our child suffers severe anxiety every time we drop our child off at school. It is disheartening that the principal allows this sort of conduct by his teachers and staff members to go on. I would not recommend this school to any parent or child. There are so many things that need to be fixed here. But I doubt ever will be."

    "It seems that this school is very poorly run. The front office staff will give you a preview of their competence from day one - quite rude. Teachers use punishment on a daily basis with our kid, even if the teacher has to tweek the truth a bit to make the point with the principal. Watch your kids here!!!"
