This school is awesome. It has improved incredibly under the leadership of the Principal and Asst. Principal. The teachers really care about the children and use innovative methods in their instruction. The quality of the school is proven by the latest test scores and the future is very bright.

This school is a big let down. At one time it was a California Distinguished School. And now its just sad! Some of the teachers are really great and then there are others who should not even be around children! Even when there are problems a band aid is put on it and no resolution is made, starting at

The principle and her staff do not have the safety of the students in mind. The pick-up/drop-off is an absolute mess. The one and only good thing about Washington are some of the teachers.

I completely agree! I had a parent conference with the principal regarding an issue with my child. In one ear and out, nothing was resolved. My child is not in the dual immersion, but I have heard nothing but positive comments, I would like to learn more about it and possibly switch my child into

The dual immersion program is excellent, and this is all due to the TEACHERS. The new principal does not measure up to the standards that is expected to a school with such an exceptional program. We need a new principal that is more in tune with the system and with the parents.

I, too, agree with the parking lot chaos. The new Principal/VP plus new staff are much more relaxed compared to last year's staff. There should be cones/more staff w/ common sense out at drop-off/pick-up times. However, this is a problem at all schools. I would like to see more parent involvement

I am just thankful that my daughter is in the Dual Immersion Program and have nothing but positive feedback re: the staff on this program. I do experience discrimination from some parents within this program as well. It's unfortunate that mothers carry on their poor attitudes from their school days versus being better examples to children. Also, can we omit the Attendance Awards?
