Great school, lots of school pride! Not alot of diversity compared to other schools

My children have attended New Market Elementary for 9 years combined now, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about the positive school culture, the incredibly dedicated teachers, the lovely small town vibe community, and the exceptionally supportive administration and front office staff. We feel like the luckiest parents in the world to be able to a part of this unicorn of a school!!

The current score of 7, has to be reflective of the current administration. Communication from this administration is terrible and starts with the principal. The school has a web page it doesn't utilize for important announcements, rather insists on communication purely through Find Out First emails, which can flood your inbox. The administration allows themselves to be bullied by entitled parents which results in bad behavior by some students that negatively impacts those students that are actually interested in learning. Truly disappointing, when this school used to have a higher overall rating, and the nearby, east county middle schools are held in much higher regard, have better ratings and overall scores of 9-10. The elementary and high schools have solid 8 ratings while this school has allowed itself to dip from it's normal 8+ rating.
