"Samuels has become a Title 1 school since last year's CSAP. I am very dissapointed with this school in regards to ensuring the children receive the best assistance possible for education and socialization. Although a very diversified student population, there are no urban teachers to help these children acclemate to the change in language and culture. They are not concerned with the sanity and progression of my child, which will not attend Samuels next year. My child has been 6 month behind since 1st grade, but according to them he can graduate to the next grade no problem. My son failed the CSAP last year, but he was still moved forward to 4th grade. These are the kinds of situations that are going on at Samuels Elementary."

"I am a very involved parent at Samuels, and I couldn't ask for more caring and committed teachers and staff. My daughter's Kindergarten teacher had a Master's degree in literacy; her first grade teacher was one of the kindest, calmest women I've ever met; and her second grade teacher has been teaching for more than 20 years. My daughter is currently reading at a fifth grade level and she's seven. The school reflects the diversity of our community, and I love having my child go to school where she is exposed to people from all over the world. The kids I encounter weekly in her clasroom are some of the sweetest kids I've met. What the school could use is more involved parents."

"Samuels Elementary is an Excellent school. All of my four children went to Samuels. The staff is very caring. I would recommend Samuels to anyone. There is absolutely no gang activity at Samuels."

"This school is excellent! All 3 of my kids went there and they loved it. The teachers and staff are great. The school is very diverse and that is a plus for me, I loved having my kids in an environment that reflects the different cultures in our world. My kids then went to Hamilton Middle School and then on to TJ. 2 are still at TJ and 1 is attending UCD. Samuels prepared them well for the future."

"Awful school. My daughter started kindergarten there and absolutely hated it. She went from a happy outgoing child to withdrawn and sad. One day, she was having a rough day and started crying, the teacher yelled at her and put her in the corner and wrote me a note saying "I can't deal with your child crying when I have 25 other kids in the classroom to deal with". I immediately took her out, moved back to Virginia, started her in school there and day one at that school, she was back to her old self, loved school, was so happy, Samuels is a horrible horrible school. Do not send your kids there."
