Evergreen era una escuela más segura más dedicada a lo que realmente es importante formar ciudadanos de bien y el futuro de este país, pero estos últimos años su objetivo principal dejo de ser la educación y rendimiento escolar , el bullying es el pan de cada día siento que la escuela necesita tener mas apoyo disponible para niños que no alcanzan los niveles requeridos para cada grado porque pasar aun niño a 3 grado cuando todavía no sabe lo básico en matemáticas es como mandar a un soldado a la guerra sin una arma para defenderse y luego cuando el alumno no está al nivel requerido toda la culpa es de uno como padre o el niño tiene mal comportamiento es necesario que la escuela tome más en cuenta la opinión de los padres en cuanto a la educación de nuestros hijos .

Speaking for my 3 kids. They are extremely smart and intelligent. They are sweet and caring. Evergreen is apart of that. I'm excited for their future

I completed my student teaching hours at this school and many other observation hours as well. I was pleased every time I set foot on this school campus. I have been shown a lot of love from the teachers and principal as well. The teachers are of the utmost integrity and the principal is a great leader over this school. I love how the teachers implement many strategies for the students to help them understand what they are learning better. The school personnel are so friendly and caring. I am proud to say that I am a Substitute teacher for East Whittier School District and this is by far my favorite school to sub at. I would recommend this school for anyone.

My son is a First grader this year and the involvement the teachers have with the students is AMAZING!!!! The teachers go above and beyond to help with any concerns I might have about my son. The principal as well plays a great part in the great staff they have at Evergreen.I am proud to be a part of this school. Just wished I would see more parent involvement with all the activities and meetings Evergreen has.

I attended Evergreen Elementary and loved it. My daughter is now in 2nd grade at Evergreen, and could say the same. Ms. Barrios and Mrs. Holmes are GREAT teachers. This year she's in Ms.Roberton / Mrs.Anaya class and she loves it. I can't believe that Mrs.Tavitian knows every students name, as you could see I love Evergreen Elementary, and don't understand the negative comments people. We as parents need to help our kids, don't sit and wait for teachers to do all the work. Communicating with our kids teacher's helps alot.

I'm glad I took my son out of this school. They only have about two teachers that care, the rest are only there to collect a check. I still don't know why they have not fired Mr. Chacon worst teacher ever allows kids to be bullied. Ms. Tavitian is a nice lady but clueless. My sons new school is amazing you can feel and feed off of the positive energy the Teachers and Staff put out. A feeling never felt at Evergreen, my son is much happier now and no longer fears for bullies as there are nine at his new school.

Unsatisfied. The staff are not that friendly. When trying to resolve an issue, the principal tends to turn blame (blame that has nothing to do with the initial issue) onto the parent or student. I read a few reviews that mention their kids come home confused about homework. Yep, I have that issue too. They don't have many activities that include the family. It just doesn't have a community/family feel. I'm actually in the process of transferring my child to another school.

I am an alumni of Evergreen Elementary (currently hold my BA & am working on my credentials) & i am very happy to say that they were a great, welcoming school and have made great progress. My younger sister graduated from everygreen & now attends East Whittier Middle School. She is doing great, A/B student, thanks to the great foundation her teachers created at Evergreen. Both of my nieces are currently attending Evergreen & they are also doing GREAT & loving school & their teachers. Thanks to all the friendly, helpful staff. I highly recommend you become part of the DRAGON family, and remember that you as parents are the first and best teachers your child can have.
