I'm very impressed with El Granada Elementary! The teachers are very energetic and passionate about teaching. You can tell that the children respect each other, as well as their teachers. I feel confident that my daughter is getting a great education there and she loves it!!

School is practically falling apart. There's damage and a serious lack of upkeep. Some teachers are great; most aren't. A family member of mine went here and had a terrible experience with a female Spanish teacher. She drove her to tears and proceeded to leave her class unattended all so she could complain and lie to a staff member about what she was doing (with her present!) She'd already been struggling with some health issues, so she did not take this whole situation well. I think the school could do much better on the kind of staff they choose to hire. I do not find it very adult-like to leave a class of 13 year olds unattended. Regarding the students, there does seem to be a worrisome amount of racism and sexism. The mental health services the school offers are decent, so I'd make your child aware of them if they weren't already. Overall would not recommend sending your child here given the staff and sheer quality of campus.

This school was very welcoming and allowed kids to be be themselves and practice. Whatever they want to do during class which allowed them to be smarter. It’s a very warm environment and kids are super nice most of them do not believe there’s only around one or two bullies at the school, their academics are very good. The teachers are strict, but not strict enough to where it hurts the kids feelings because of this most of the kids are very happy and communicate with their teacher as well alone them to learn the counselors are also great here they help kids whenever they’re struggling, especially during academics , all the reviews about bullies are completely false in my opinion people will help you if you are getting bullied. If you get called a bad name, they will tell the principal for you. Mr. Clifton is also a very nice principal and see if she knows all 700+ students my name , one of my children goes there and he seems to know him super well one day my child came home crying from school. I asked him was wrong. He said his phone broke after he landed on and we talk to the guidance counselor and they said they’ll By him a brand new phone this there is a very mixed culture that is very nice all these other schools I feel like are not as welcoming to our other cultures like Hispanics or African-Americans people say some teachers are too harsh on the kids, but I believe that this actually helps them because they get ready for high school which a lot of teachers are way more strict I had a very bad experience and secret so I decided to have my kid to get switched over to Cunha. I feel like Seacrest is way less welcome than Cunha’s and Sea crustys , my kid got bullied daily. He got shoved into a locker at one point the teachers and do anything about it. Overall the score of the 10 out of 10 and anyone else think I should switch out
