Our son attended Yucca Elementary from 2008 (K) to 2013 (5th grade). He was identified as being gifted in 1st grade and advanced a year ahead in 2012. He always enjoyed going to this school. Communication with teachers, principal and gifted program facilitators was excellent. We became part of an advisory board of parents that contributed to the gifted program. Our few concerns we had about some policies were addressed and taken seriously. Overall a very good experience with this school.

As a teacher, I have been to a dozen others schools in Colorado and New mexico, I keep a list of schools I would work at as a substitute teacher. Also a list of those I would never go back to. Mountain View is on the list I would never return to. They have great teachers , but lots of discipline issues that substitute teachers won't come there or will quit. I have submitted my resignation already. I think others will be following soon.

My experience is so bad that i plan on getting a good job so i can afford to join school board meetings, and influence them to see whats truly going on within their school. I see bad teachers, gang members, security guards paying blind eyes. I dont ever see a teacher making an effort to push their students to be smarter. Ive basically been on my own for the past 3 years of being in this school yet ive had over a dozen teachers.
