My daughters 1st day there yesterday she was showing signs of bullying. 2nd day today. She came off the bus crying. My daughter is also has autism. It breaks my heart. This special needs district has no problem with gaslighting, stonewalling, and even making the parents seem like they don't know what they are talking about. To make it worse. If you have a mental illness or disability they do it even more. Like to my wife. My wife is not doing what stigma has dubbed a parent with mental illnesses. An unfit parents. These people are going to far where they are making my wife's symptoms come out . For a district to promote mental illness and education. They do the complete opposite. It makes me wonder how many other families they destroyed doing this type of treatment

I LOVE my VEJAR Pomona school, we are a Title1 school have had some struggles with our API falling but we are constantly trying to find different ways to help the parents and students push up those numbers. Our Principal is a blessing with a Huge Heart, and our Vice Principal is great too. We have a big number of great teachers working their little hearts away till evening, I know because I see their cars when I drive by at 6pm. We need more parent involvement, Don't be afraid to come out and help even if its 1 day or 1 hour every little bit helps. The kids need to see us there to know that we care and show our support towards their education. The Kiddies are the future of our Great Nation we are blessed to live in!

Since 2008, each year this school has declined in poor leadership and administration. Many parents have come to realize that it's not worth trying to change the school for better, but to move your kids to a better managed school. Office staff is rude, Principal is tr@$h, and if you start asking the right questions you are a labeled as a problem parent. All we ever hope for is to help our kids, and make sure they are respected in a great diverse community but in this school parent ignorance is highly encouraged.
