TERRIBLE, kids around here act like grown up high schoolers, they often get out of school alone to the park behind the school. If you happen to walk around with your dog, they come up to kick your dog, or bring pitbulls without leashes. They are insulting each other with bad words and people walking by. There are no adult supervision, no cops around, and a liquor store 1/2 block away. A group of individuals hanging out drinking by the park!? Where are the parents? where is the authority? these kids representing this school makes me not want to enroll my daughter here. Such a waste for a beautiful park and building infrastructure. No wonder greatschools rates this with a 1, I think it's more like a 0.

I believe that the teachers do work well together in their teaching teams. I have seen them in the hall talking about a meeting that they have. The Principal Armando Torres is a very caring individual and I see him in the hall, on the playground, and in the cafeteria interacting with All the students and staff. He was hard to get to know at first. Seeing him work with students and staff, there is no doubt that he is fully commented to the success of all the students at King Elementary.

King elementary. Poor leadership with the new principal - he doesn't take responsibility and tried to push problems on to the teachers. Also, gets out of his mistakes.
