The faculty of San Jose Street Elementary School does not care about the safety of their students, and my family and I are running out of options; We do not want to pull our nephew out of school, and have him repeat a grade for something out of his control because it wouldn't be fair for him, but he has been going to this school for more than a year, and he has been getting bullied ever since he started school. It has comes to the point where we have to ask our nephew if someone hurt him today because he always comes home telling us he got beaten, punch, and hurt at school, and the faculty would not do anything. The faculty keep telling us the bully "already went home or already got picked up", "A Good Child", and "we are keeping an eye on them", but they're clearly do not; My nephew was hurt, punched in the chest every single day this week, and he's been afraid of going to school. They also often do not bring anything to our attention regarding the bullying unless we inquire about it first, and the last time it happened they said, "It did happen yesterday", but they did not report it to us, so if you do care about the safety of your children, I would high recommend avoiding this school unless they make some changes. A lot more children will have to suffer and get hurt because someone lack the required means or conviction to do the job, and how could you even begin educating and inspiring children when you can't even secure their safety.

Vintage Elementary is the absolute best choice I could have made for my child. I have had my child here since Kindergarten (we are now in 3rd grade) and it's been nothing but awesome. While I didn't have an issue with the previous principal, our new principal is AWESOME. And you can tell the schools culture and energy has definitely improved. Every teacher we have had has been exceptional. When my child was feeling overwhelmed with work or a particular lesson, they stepped in and helped find solutions. They truly love their job and their students. Anytime I had a question or concern, I was heard and had all my questions answered. The school also holds many fun events like Nasa nights, STEAM nights, Harvest Festival, and even their open house is a great time. I truly feel this helps boost the morale for the student body and really encourages parent involvement. The PTA is great and they're always trying to do their best with what they got. If you sign up for emails, class chats, and follow on social media, you will ALWAYS be in the loop so there won't be any surprises. The class moms have been great every year as well. Truly feels like a community. The main office staff is great. They make the entire experience feel personal and are on top of their management so I feel safe and know the kids are safe. The staff tries their best to maintain a smooth drop off and pickup routine but honestly, the parents are going to do what they want. The staff can't control parents poor behavior. That's the honest truth. But the staff is always open to feedback and will provided solutions for those issues specifically around pick up and drop off. So overall, I always recommend to my friends and family to check out Vintage. I have colleagues who had their kids transfer in from other schools in the valley and they saw a complete 180 on their child's academic and personal development. Love it here and I'm so glad my kid is here.
