I do not recommend this school. The principal does not care for the parents opinions. The principal sprang the topic of going to school all year round when there was only three months left of school. During the zoom meeting, by the way they were talking, the decision was already made that they were going to do this. It was NOT a discussion of what our opinions were. It was a discussion of this is what we are doing. They falsely led us believe that we were going to be able to be in the decision making, especially since it is OUR KIDS, but nope! A week later we got an email letting us know that the school board had approved the decision of doing school all year round. They do not care what the parents think. So now parents have to make a rushed decision about where they want there child to go to school the next school year. It would have made more sense if they would have discussed this for the year of 22-23 to give parents a chance to make arrangements. What if parents already had plane tickets to go somewhere for a week as we did, are they going to pay the parents back the money because now they have to cancel their vacation, NO! What about the child that has parents that are divorced and go stay with them possibly in another state, are they going to pay for the court cost if the other parent is being a jerk and still wants there child for the summer, NO! This is stuff that they did not think about and this shows that they do not care! I will rave about one thing and that is my sons teacher in 3rd grade, Ms. Gonzalez. She communicates very well with the parents and has always kept me in the loop about my child. Anytime she has any concerns she always reaches out to me and this is what I like in a teacher. I like to know what is going on with my child. That is the ONLY reason I am giving this school 1 stars.

Hello my name is moses i actually went to (jk) from the 3rd grade to the 5th grade and was a very troubled kid due to the fact of bullying i would intentionally get in trouble so i could get sent to the office becuase the bullying was so bad and nothing seemed to be done aome of the staff there is/was very Help full with the situation but not every staff member was infact some of the staff were the bullies ex name calling to the students and putting down students work saying they would grow up to be nothing very sad i suffered this every yr and every day when i went there the bullies get sent to sit in the office or another class but not actually talked to about it and told wrong from rite i hated every day i attended school becuase i was bullied so there for i acted out to escaoe it my oarents whent up to the school every week at meast once and still nothing the fact that it is now 7 yr later and still nothing to be done is not good to see or here this is a problem with in the comunity in the familys and in the school and in the school board if proper caution is taken with these incidentes at home and in school and rules that actually work are put in place this school would be one of the best in sa ive been to many and besides for the bullying it was step one talk to the kids parents and staff all in the gym hold a day not a pta meeting because not all parents go just a little event with games snacks etc get every one in the gym and talk to them all at once about the situation and if i could speak out to those kids about bullying. I beleive it would make a good impact on them due to the fact i know how it feels being bullied but this is a seriouse problem that needa to be treated with the upmost respect and caution because if you aproach the situation this way so will your students staff and parents i k ow this first hand no matter what people say children kearn first hand they do what they see the act on what there taught my contact information is mosesramirez1999@gmail.com or 210-719-7149 im a recent graduate and with out the help of fellow friends and staff i would have never made it because bullying is strong and does ruin lives and encouraging this behavior is just as bad if not worse i rember when it was encouraged it made it ten times worse if you add fule to a flame it grows add technic and a strong minded school to fight the fire abd it will go

The school is nice yes but it does not follow up with their bullying policies within one month my daughter has been (this was all done on purpose) pushed, cut with scissors, bit, kicked on her mouth noticed blood on her shirt, and her thumb bent back more than once. The school knows I am furious with it. I did not move out my old state just to have my daughter be fed to a pack of wolves this about the behavior from other students what my daughter tells me. Will your child get their education yes. But if they are being bullied their are more concerned about their emotions more than education. I have given permission for my daughter to fight back. If the student acknowledges and said sorry then yes it an accident but on purpose no offense for month continuing on going problems after e-mails, letter and person to person communication and it doesn't get solved uh no. From my understanding trying to give hugs are wrong but getting mistreated is acceptable? I don't know how many other parents have had problems with this school alone but its getting out of control.

This school is not good! Trust me don't send your kids here I've had issues with my kids being bullied. The sad part is the principal and administration know about it and they still continue to protect these bully's. My kids dread going to school everyday and also complain of the rude teachers. Thankful I'm renting in the area and I'm moving soon. And in all honesty because of the school. I'm so over the administration and the lack of support they do to end bullying. Literally I get calls on a daily about my child being attacked yet nothing gets done. Everything gets thrown under the rug at this school. If you can avoid this schoo please do.

This is the worst school I have ever encountered. It is full of racism against whites and violence goes unpunished. I can't wait to get my children out of that poor excuse for and institution of education.

The construction was completed and the portables are gone. The building is beautiful and the school is a great one. We have a new principal this year and she is just wonderful!
