It's really a heartbreak to send your kid to this place -- this is what we experienced in the one year we attended: numerous fights; bathrooms often closed; movement in the building so restricted during lunch that some kids couldn't really always get lunch; security guards made kids shake out their binders onto the floor in the hallway; an English teacher showed a highly inaccurate movie inspired by Beowulf instead of having kids read it (and the teacher oblivious that the film is way off); another teacher told kids that hurricanes in the Americas are created by the souls of enslaved people; my son would send me cell phone videos during class of multiple students just sleeping on their desks while the teacher was doing nothing. This place extinguished my son's interest in school. The name is being changed (which is great), but I hope the rest of the place can be improved for the general students. At the open house, all the principal talked about were the special tracks like early high school and the engineering program, which might not be so bad -- but what about the majority of the kids? We discovered that few of the more appealing course offerings were actually available.

Be cuz it is it’s at that school and kids coming home heart

Stockton is an excellent elementary school. The family engagement, in particular, is phenomenal. Because it's located in a neighborhood, many of the kids walk or bike to school and the families all really get to know each other and look out for each other. Administration makes themselves very available for meetings when you need to go over something and in my experience, are receptive to feedback. Our kids have been very happy at Stockton!
