8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a student here at Borel, I will give my honest review. The teachers here are good at teaching, and have empathy for their students. The kids here are immature. While I was In class, they would spray water or other peoples desks. They would also chase each other in class. The most surprising things that I have heard is every day is racist bad words, no matter their race. I have seen a lot of fist fights and even a brawl. On the good side, I have made a lot of friends over my heart and a half. The principles are very nice and welcoming when you see them, or on your first day. I have seen a lot of bullying and gender humiliation name calling. That is my honest review. Oh and also, some kids here dress cut and some of the teachers do not care at all about it, and people spread false rumors as fast as a wildfire spreads! and also, I have seen boys pushing and putting their hands on girls. That is my honest review.Student Review4mo ago - San Mateo Park Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school focuses way too much of their homework on computers. A child in 3rd grade with homework that only involves computers. Whatever happened to spelling sentences using spelling words, book reports. For math homework, they use penguins games using computers instead of written math. These kids are going to have a rude awakening when they hit middle school. These kids are on computers enough and don’t need to do all their homework on computers in elementary school. Not to mention they use computers for reading instead of an actual book.Other Review2y ago - San Mateo High School
