5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMadera is a wonderful school with caring teachers and faculty. We have 2 children currently in attendance and both love their friends, teachers, and staff. They come home excited almost every day telling us about what they learned, who they played with and what was served for hot lunch. When situations have come up we receive day of communication via phone calls, direct messages or in person at pick-up. The campus is safe & secure and all staff are aware/alert at all times. Yard & office staff are present during drop off while teachers & staff are present during pick up. We are truly happy with our Mustang community.Parent Review4mo ago - Royal High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSinaloa Middle School. Esta escuela enfrenta problemas serios que no solo afectan el aprendizaje, sino también la seguridad y bienestar de sus estudiantes. A continuación, detallo algunos puntos alarmantes que necesitan atención urgente:Acoso escolar (bullying): El bullying es común y constante. Muchos estudiantes sufren acoso verbal, físico y psicológico, y lamentablemente no se ve una intervención clara por parte del personal para prevenirlo o detenerlo.Consumo de sustancias dentro del campus: Es evidente el uso de vapeadores y otras sustancias por parte de estudiantes, incluso dentro del plantel durante el horario escolar. Esto no solo afecta la salud de los estudiantes, sino que también crea un ambiente inseguro para quienes sí desean estudiar.Falta de respeto y comportamiento violento: Hay reportes de estudiantes que son forzados a entrar a los baños por otros compañeros de forma agresiva, y en algunos casos se pierde contacto con ellos por un tiempo. Estos actos de intimidación son extremadamente graves y representan un riesgo real.Desinterés del profesorado: Varios maestros no toman medidas ante estos comportamientos. Permiten que los alumnos falten el respeto tanto a sus compañeros como a ellos mismos, sin imponer consecuencias. Esto debilita la autoridad en el aula y contribuye al caos general.Dirección inadecuada: El director no muestra empatía ni compromiso con la comunidad estudiantil. Durante los almuerzos, se ha escuchado gritar a los estudiantes diciendo que "si no les gusta la escuela, que se larguen", una actitud completamente inapropiada para alguien que debería liderar con respeto y fomentar un ambiente educativo positivo. Parece más interesado en mantener su salario que en mejorar la educación y seguridad en la escuela.Sinaloa Middle School necesita urgentemente una revisión profunda de sus políticas de seguridad, disciplina y liderazgo. Es inaceptable que en un país como Estados Unidos, donde el acoso escolar ya es un problema grave, se permita que estas situaciones continúen sin control.Los estudiantes merecen aprender en un entorno seguro, respetuoso y saludable. Ojalá esta reseña sirva como un llamado a la acción.Student Review10mo ago
