The current and immediately former principal of the school are on their way to running it in the ground. Before the two most recent administrators, morale was high for the teachers, the kids enjoyed their learning, and it was great success schoolwide. Not the case anymore. When friends of friends are hired to run the school, it will never be back to its former glory. Look elsewhere for the sake your child.

My daughter could not concentrate after being bullied the whole time she was there

I have good and bad experiences from my sons teachers. My 9 years old teacher helped him become one of the best student in the entire school. Ms Gutierrez without a question deserved that teacher of the year award.My other son teacher from the beginning has also been great but, not everyone is like that. Some teachers in the after school care just complains too much. I mean, they are sometimes dealing with less than 10 years old but wooow the amounts of complaints for every little tiny things (like tucking a shirt in, not talking in the cafeteria and so on..) can be overwhelming. Anyway, overall, I will rate it 8/10!!!

I guess it all depends on who your child's teacher is, but my experience at Arnold was horrible. I'm not saying my kids weren't learning at a decent rate, but when came to a bullying situation that involved the principal/asst principal, I was NOT please at all with how they handled it. I felt like they sympathized more with the bully than my child. I mean I understand that when kids have an unstable home life they may act out at school and my heart goes out to them and all, but NEVER before my kids and their well being. The after school program director is so "rough" for a woman it's scary to have to talk to her sometimes.

my oldest two kids attended arnold. and let me say this, i am a picky mom. strict as they come. but this school not only made me feel secure in sending my kids, but also i knew that they were doing everything they can to help my kids excell. my daughter jojo had NO confidence. but with mrs stclair, ramon, felan and her teacher mrs richardson, my baby went into jr high with a positive mind set and since arnold she continues to bring home good grades. they gave instilled that in her by support and dedication. they show kids that yeah sometimes life isnt easy, but just dont give up and keep trying. now my youngest is in their kinder. omg mrs jimenez got him reading. plus he really wants to go to school. no school is perfect but i will say this, arnold is the kinda school that wont give up trying to help your child. they will do all they can and more. as a mom i just love seeing him go to school with a smile on his face and excitted to learn.
