"I am the parent of a kinder student and am extremely impressed thus far with what is happening in my childs kinder classroom and with the school in general. I am impressed with the speed at which my child is learning and he lives going to school. His teacher is terrific-firm but caring. The teachers are dedicated to helping their students learn and succeed. Patent involvement is huge at this school which is amazing and rare. This is a fantastic public school!!"

"This school is Okay at best as far as academics are concerned.The union protects bad teachers that have seniority. If your excuse for yelling at an 8 year old, making them cry and trying to break their spirit is that your "Italian" and "that's just how Italians talk," then you have no business teaching! And then to meet with the principal who apparently can do nothing about it!!! There are no consequences for the teachers who are vicious to students.I have had three children attend this school through the last ten years and we've had our ups and downs with the teachers. Some have been great, others should not be teaching! I think that if my 2cnd grader has more homework than my child in high school, theirs a problem! I understand their are quotas teachers need to meet but some of them should really reevaluate why they they became teachers in the first place! To make a positive impact in a students life or a negative one! There does seem to be a lot of bullying (from teachers, as well as students) and stuck up kids here, and the parents also have their cliques. But their have been some kind parents who seem genuine. Money talks around here so if you have it, your in!"

"All the teachers are afraid of the incompetent principle. Everyone covers for everyone. Horrible politics with mothers that have nothing to do or anywhere to go. Bad place!"

"This school was not a good fit for our family. Our son is ADD. He also has some spectrum challenges. These challenges led him to have issues with other children that resulted in extreme isolation & bullying. We were unaware of it for months until I attended a school function where I saw it myself. After the situation was investigated by the principle, the teacher sent me an apology letter because her neglect of the situation was so unacceptable. We would only find out about things once it was in crisis mode. The teachers were often hostile & defensive once we were involved. It was suggested that our son's situation was our son's fault because he was annoying. We even had a teacher that told our son in front of his class that he was the worst student he had ever had. We contacted the principle and had a meeting with the principle and teacher. The teacher was so hostile, he even admitted he said it, but also made it clear he had no intention of apologizing or admitting to any wrong doing. The principle apologized for his behavior after he was gone. She also said that often times the union protects teachers in CA from consequences, so there was nothing she could do about it."

"My daughter transferred into this school and they were wonderful about getting her acclimated. The teachers are very good and the administration is very responsive. A great school!"
