Horrible staff treats children like criminals! My daughter is searched weekly !

This school does not care for its students in all honest, I have been a student for the past 3 years at Sunset and I confidently say this. Majority of teachers utterly shamble when it comes to engaging students to learn, it also does not help majority of the students do not care what happens to them in the future since all they are interested in is messing around and smoking in the bathrooms, even in the classes. This school sucks.

The saying Everything that shines isn’t gold is true for this school. Very enthusiasticly I enrolled my child in this school as an out of area transfer for kindergarten after reading all the positive reviews and scores as well as activities the school had to offer, for me at the time I felt it was the perfect choice for my son, from all the schools that were relatively near our home. Unfortunately our experience was not what we would have expected from a top rated school. After experiencing a school year here I witnessed that what makes this school top rated is not it’s teachers and much less there unprofessional administrators but the parental community and it’s involvement in there childrens education. The teachers lack professionalism and show favoritism to students, to an extent were others can notice. Due to On going issues with our sons teacher we went to seek support from administrators and counselors only to have our calls and visits ignored and our problems unsolved. The principle, vice principle and counselor ignored our emails and requests to meet and discuss the ongoing issues with their staff. Untimely since our son was an out of area transfer they elected with no prior notice to not renew his stay at the school. When I went to speak with them in person they were very rude unprofessional and vague about the decision they had made. The principal apparently the one who makes these choices didn’t even give me the time of day to discuss the concern at hand, they didn’t care that was the attitude the assistant principle projected as we spoke about the issue, they didn’t care to hear about my child’s needs or how they could assist all she would say is he has to go back to his home school without a care in the world from her part. I went back the next day to formally withdraw my son as advised by his new school, the assistant principal again with her rude attitude asks me “didn’t I speak with you about this already” without even asking the reason I was there, I wasn’t there to speak with her I was there to withdraw my child. Overall the experience at Cálusa elementary left us with a very sour feeling in our mouths the whole school was full of issues with staff and lack of support and empathy form administration
