This school doesn't help the kids that need xtra help. Instead of helping my kid with her Reading they just let her fail. She received nothing but 3 and 4's all year long except Reading. They helped the Spanish speaking students, but not mine... they informed me all late in the year that my kid will be held back. I kept asking if there was any help at school? and they would say no. At the end of the year they inform me that they needed my permission to have her pulled out of the classroom to get her the help she needed, really with less than 6wks. ? and they still didn't really offer me to sign anything? ?... The bilingual program they offered just confused my kid and I my friends kid to this day... Her new teacher at her present has told me BY LAW with her low scores in Reading she should've got help not not retained another full year !! Especially since they knew about her low scores early in the year.. she feels my kid was cheated and I totally agree... She should've got her some help....

Sanchez is a place that focuses on the entire child. The teachers and staff at this school go above and beyond the call of duty to provide for the needs of the students. This place is filled with culture, and is evident the moment you walk into the building. There are beautiful murals surrounding the library and beautiful art throughout the school. Most of all, what makes Sanchez special is the people who attend and serve this place.

My daughter just finished kindergarten at Sanchez and I feel very confident that she is prepared for the first grade. Mrs. Garcia is fantastic and very involved with each of the children. My daughter loved all her teachers, expecially ms ana in the extenda a care program. I highly recommend this school.

I'm more hopeful for success and hope the principal continues to improve leadership. It has been a difficult process and Mrs. Garcia has always been challenged. We all hope for the best results.
