this was a good school, community is very nice. Some of the staff were very nice people. They were such kind staff and i remember that sometimes even the kids would gather around the staff! (kids used say that they were cool.) I attended this school through TK-5th grade, so I had LOTS of memories. Besides *some* students, everyone was nice. Even the principal and the vice principal were so kind people. They would help students and get involved whenever something happened. So, besides from that, the school lunch needs to be healthier, not very good quality food. And some teachers were strict, and some were nice. I used to have several favorite teachers! They were nice. Now for the students, the students were not so nice. Some were, but not most of them. I'm not sure about this but from what ive noticed and what i experienced, they weren't nice to some kids. Like leaving them out. (Mostly 4th-5th) So please staff or school members, keep an eye on the students for bullying.

I worked with this school for 3 years and have no complaints. Very nice teachers and staff, especially the coordinator at the time Mr.Diaz. In contrary to another comment I would like to say that Mrs.Llamas is a great teacher. I worked with her for two years, in class and out and never did I see or hear her treat her students badly. If anything I would probably say she is one of the sweetest teachers in the school. I am distraught that someone might have had a misunderstanding with her and had to involve the district. We all have our opinions and in my opinion she was wonderful. Overall I would say this is a nice school with many great teachers and students. communication between teachers and parents is key to a better education and environment for the child.

My Daughter just started Kinder with Mrs Taylor, and I am a parent volunteer during the morning for their Breakfast in Class program. So far I am liking the school, Teacher, and Personnel. By the way, my younger Brothers and Sister attended all their years of Elementary here and enjoyed it.

Most people complain about their kids not being taken care of after the bell rings or about bus of food. School is not a daycare. The school provides a great education. But it is not only the teachers responsibility to educate your kid. You should spent time with them. I have volunteer for 6 years in my daughter class and I have notice that the parents that talk to the teachers actually perform better than the ones that don't. Ask about you kids and what you can do to get them to perform rather than hold all the students backs. I have work with these kids and they are eager to learn they just need positive reinforcement and motivation. Again dont complain and help you kid do better....

My son has been attending San Gabriel since he started kinder and is about to complete 2nd grade now. God willing he will not continue on to 3rd grade here. This school is horrible! Office personal first impression pretty much sums up all this school has to offer. They have a jaded office manager rudely answering all your questions and another office clerk. with whom most would consider sporting a vulgar attire that is reminiscent of a chola and an attitude to match. The principal is the epitome of laziness. The teachers are by far the best attribute to this failing school and the poor parent involvement is in my opinion the result of poor management by the head
