I’m so disappointed in Rio Vista. I’ve had my son enrolled at this school since kindergarten and he is now in second grade. Every year he is moved around to 2 different teachers because the classrooms are overpopulated with 2 grade level of kids. For example… First grade teacher has half a classroom with kindergartners and the other half is first graders. That also happened the beginning of his second grade year. Of course, no one communicates to let us parents know what’s going on, just “oh Johnny or Susie are going to Mrs. So and So’s class now, 3 weeks after school started.” There’s teachers here who don’t care if your child is progressing and then there are teachers who aren’t helping your child progress but will tell you that your child has fallen behind. How are we supposed to know if you don’t guide us or tell us as soon as you notice a problem. Why wait until the school year is almost over? The principal has a nonchalant attitude about everything and don’t ask for her to review camera footage if there was an issue on the playground, because she will most certainly tell you she won’t be doing it. I’m so disappointed in this school. My son has started to hate going to school and is only in second grade. He cries because he thinks his teacher doesn’t like him and says he feels dumb. My heart hurts for any other kids that feel like this and I will definitely be pulling my child from Rio Vista.

Send your kid here if you want them to become a drug addict. My freshman was given drugs by upper class men on a daily basis. These were kids who were athletes and band members, the kids who my kid hung out with because she was involved with the programs. Drugs are everywhere. My kid told me she did drugs in the bathrooms as well in class and she never got caught once. Her grades were decent but when I pulled her out of the school I learned she is far behind where she should be. I regret sending my kid here.

I love all the communication the teachers have with the parents and kids. I love to volunteer because the teachers are so amazing.
