Had no complaints with the teachers, but when an incident does occur it is not handled appropriately or in a timely matter. Issues go unresolved and there is not much communication. Very upsetting especially since the incident called for immediate medical attention and the student brought harmful objects to school. I am sorry staff has to work under these conditions. Kids can do whatever they want and nothing will happen.

Not great. Maybe if their staff was trained to help kids that need more support or didn’t tell them they did wrong all the time, it wouldn’t be so bad. I’m not talking about all the staff as I only had experience with this specific teacher and the principal. My son is now thriving at his new school. When you go from being told you are doing everything wrong instead of teaching them in a positive way so they understand, there is a huge difference. I would say if your kids need extra support, don’t send them here. If they are more independent, I don’t see a problem sending Them.

Excellent, I have 2 kids at this school, we transfered from another school in murrieta that was ranked a 9 on this website and this school in my opinion is much better. It is also a STEM school!

This is our 4th year at EHC now and (TK, K, 1st, now 2nd) and I am so proud to be apart of this STEM school. There have been many positive changes over the recent years and things keep getting better and better. Our principal, Mrs Roden is incredible and wonderful new teachers added to the team. As a parent, volunteer and PTA member, I enjoy every moment at school and whatever I can do to help and be involved.

Knowing the principal, Mr. David Koltovich, has been such a wonderful blessing for my daughters and myself. I can't give enough praises for this individual and the staff at E. Hale Curran. Mr. Andrew Sosa is an amazing Special Education Teacher. My eldest daughter has blossomed in his class. My youngest is in kindergarten and is reading and asking very intelligent questions. I will be very sad when Mr. Koltovich retires this year but know that my girls have obtained a world of positive learning and growth in their time here.

so far the staff is very rude they do not help you in the office all they want to do is get rid of you I can't say much about the teachers yet but my son has an IEP and so far he told me that he does not get any help in the class but if things change I will repost a better review as for now I don't like what I see

My two older brothers, my sister and I actually went to this school in the late 80s/ early 90s.... I remember if I asked a questionon how to do something I was yelled at by the teacher. I remember one time I asked a teacher to re explain a math problem, I think I was in 3rd grade. The teacher told the whole class I wasn't listening and i was embarrassed, and never asked again, for any class. I wanted to be taken out so bad and go to another school but at that time I think there was only 4 other schools at the time. As an ex student's perspective, I hated it.
