My son is currently a 3rd grader and and we are very happy at Heritage. The principal and staff truly care about the kids. They have family nights and a lot of opportunities for parent involvement.

Tulare City School District has given me less faith and pride in my community than I would ever have imagined possible prior to having school-aged children. While asking teachers throughout the district what they can be sure of concerning Tulare City Schools, each one has stated that it is a game of politics. I have come to believe them. The district administrators seem to be driven by money and power. Teachers are overworked and resources scarce as a result. Higher salaries for teachers supplement sufficient working conditions, leaving my children to pay the ultimate price. How is this leveling the playing field? My children are losing out on an education which builds 'confidence' and 'creativity' because teachers feel they need to cut corners in order to get through the day. Education serves as the foundation and building blocks of the community. I'm not so sure what our community is building anymore.

Thinking that it was a newer school in a nice area would be good. But after my son coming home with cuts and bruises i was really mad. When i went to the office they said they didn't hear anything about a fight. The teacher said she didn't noticed the cut on his cheek (that was bleeding by the way). The receptionist said "Mr. Johnson (the Principal) is unavailable because he's flipping burgers for the student of the month students." That set me off because how dare they say that a select few are more important than a child that was jumped by three students during lunch. After talking to the superintendent, and him making the principal call me. Mr. Johnson said less then 10 word to me in a 5 minute conversation. How is this guy a principal?
