This was my child's 1st introduction to a school environment, and I'm completely disappointed in their teacher. There are these little kindergarteners who are being told to "Shut your mouth," by their teacher. For the past week I have had trouble getting my child up for school because there scared of their teacher. They wake up crying and begging me not to send them to school because their teacher is scary. I'm appalled by the behavior of this teacher and this needs to come to the attention of the principal. This is teaching little kids that when people yell at them and basically tell them to shut up. This is teaching them that when adults that they don't know that well yell at them, they have to respect them. This will lead to bigger problems when they start to grow older. Kids have better memories then we think they will carry this throughout their life. The management at this school needs to step up and hold accountability for this problem.

Comment about youngster in pre-K below, we had a great experience. Parents need to read the information provided about it. It is play based per state rules.

SCE is a great school with amazing teachers. I would highly recommend.

I went here when I was younger and was bullied from 2nd grade until I moved to middle school. While I was not the best at communicating as a child the staff members often did noting to help the situation. There was clear favoritism with almost every class I was in. I understand that young girls tend to treat each other poorly; however this dose not excuse the treatment I and other girls my age at the time endured. The councilors often failed to help the children who needed it and much of the staff were very openly rude to children they didn’t like. While I have many grievances with the school it provided a good learning environment in most classes and many of the teachers put in the effort to teach each student they had well. I was a gifted student growing up and most of my teachers worked to challenge me and help me grow in a way that shaped who I am as a person now. I thank them for that. Overall this school taught me well when I was little, but while I did learn well I was not treated well and often felt like I didn’t fit in. The favoritism at this school also caused me and many other children to feel unimportant or ignored.

horrible school. I was frequently bullied by students and the teachers did little to help, though they seemed to show favoritism to others.the teachers are frankly not equipped to teach multiple grades, they rarely actually help the children learn, everyone is held to the same standard regardless of actual ability, which often led to me feeling lesser than other students. we were given multiple assignments that served little to no purpose, we were once forced to summarize 6 chapters of a book and create a presentation within two days, and the teachers responded negatively when some found it difficult.one of the teachers once called a child useless. they blur the line between discipline and being plain rude, and that is not okay. many children are scolded for hours over something minor, and left crying afterward while the teacher just.. doesn't care.they very obviously favor certain children, while getting mad at neurodivergent or special-needs children over the smallest thing whether it's a problem or not simply because they're harder to teach.teachers have openly made fun of the lgbtq+ community and talked about other students, not doing anything about children who do the same unless it affects them.overall, I would not recommend this school.
