Arredondo

The principal is a micromanager who makes the teachers miserable, which shows in the lack of smiles and warmth at this school. All she cares about are the state test scores, not the well-being of the students. She runs the place like a penitentiary, and it's just as cheerful.

This school is disorganized and poorly managed. Teachers are unprofessional, unhelpful and have zero oversight and accountability. IEPs are not implemented and children with special needs are treated poorly.

Learning was great and the teachers were nice but have absolutely no support from their administration in dealing with students that have special needs. Our child was portrayed as a Tazmanian Devil that wreaked havoc. We felt that he definitely had a target on his back (not by his peers but by the staff and administration!) and sure enough, at his new school with an engaged administration, his teacher describes him as a pleasure to have in class. Mind blowing and infuriating all at the same time! Save your money and send your kid somewhere else.

It is a very welcoming and friendly environment for my kid who does not know English yet. The teacher and staff are so responsive and make it possible for families to get involved. So far, my kid loves it.
