I am a parent of 3 boys who attended Quentin, and just moved out of the district. Two of my boys excel easily and are above grade level, but my oldest boy has a harder time. He was blessed with Mr. Parisot as a 4th grade teacher. Surprised by his bad progress report, I met with his teacher & we devised

He made it fun for his students to learn, and was always available. His 5th grade teacher Mrs. Petkus worked extremely hard with him as well, and he acheived the honor roll by the end of the year! I think parent involvement helps to determine a childs success not just the teacher! Read less

This school has improved a lot since it first opened. They have a female principal who has been there many years and appears to be dedicated and liked by all her staff. Many teachers now stay more than a year or two so the high turnover has slowed or stopped. The schools upper grades (5th and sixth)

My two boys are new to Avondale this year and I think this school needs to be better staffed. This school has 1000 students attending. So there needs to be more teachers. I receive lots of communication from staff and teachers. Overall I forsee no big problems in the near future. This school seems

I think the teachers are doing a great job! The principle and vice principle could do much better. They say bulling is not a big issue at the school then why did I have to take my kids out, instead of them dealing with the problem child?

It appears the school has improved significantly since it opened a few years ago. I am receiving much better communication from the school and classroom teachers. More activities are being offered after school. However, the school is still very short handed! This school, with 1,000 students, needs more
... Read more than one art and one music teacher. It also needs to remodel the cafeteria serving line. My child eats 'lunch' at 10:15 and will now be getting out at 3:15. I am concerned about this schedule but understand that the cafeteria needs to start this early in order to serve all students. I think this school will continue to improve becuase it has a lot of hard-working teachers. Unfortunately, there are only two or three parents attending the PTA meetings. The school hosted 7 or 8 family events this year, yet very few parents helped out. We all need to get on board! Read less
Very understaffed. Teachers have a difficult time teaching English speaking students because they are spending most of their time working with the students that speak only Spanish or limited English in order to get them up to the No Child Left Behind orders. No recess because it was not used properly

I believe these kids need to have the opportunity to expend energy throughout the day still at this age. They do not control the language and name calling that is done to other students and because they are so understaffed when a student does have a problem the most common answer is 'well, I didn't hear it, tell him to knock it off' Not the best school, yet, not the worst either.
