Terrible experience with this school. If you child has any type of special needs or struggles in school this is not the school for you! Steer clear! I have tried to work with this school for years and they continue to disappoint. I have a child who has special needs and the school failed to inform me what options we had even though I asked the main office and the counselors office several times! Finally, after my own research, I found what we needed to do but the school really dropped the ball in helping us. My child also has health issues that affect decision making and other areas of everyday life and was suspended over something that was not done in school and also had nothing to do with the school. My child had never even so much as been in trouble in school before. Also, just as another reviewer stated a teacher told one of my children that they would only amount to being a drug dealer when they grow up! When this brought up to the school they said they would speak to this teacher and no other reprimands although this teacher has a history of speaking to the kids in this manner. However, they did want to give detention to my child for being disrespectful and talking in her class, well I do not see how you expect the children to respect a teacher to behaves in a manner. A counselor stated that it was probably the teachers way of trying to inspire the kid the way a coach would when yelling at the team! Are you kidding me?

Great school! My child looks forward to going to school. The staff and administration are welcoming and kind.

In my experience teachers will teach one way and one way only. If you don’t understand they will only repeat what you just told them you didn’t understand. There are few teachers that actually care about their students, many of the teachers clearly hate their job and the students and indirectly say so. The school also has very poor planning as many teachers just get moved around mid school year and the students have a hard time because many subs don’t know how to teach the subject are aren’t provided anything to teach the kids. Also sometimes it seems like the teachers and administrators care more about if you have a hole in your jeans than your education and learning. The school doesn’t even do anything about bullying. I have seen many people express many times that someone was bothering them but nothing was done even when the teachers watch them purposely hurt others.

The overall vibe at Coronado is a positive one! The administration and teachers all work together for the good of the students and you can tell they are happy to be there! The lessons are engaging and the students seem to be happy to be learning.

I like how much trust and freedom the teachers give the students.
