I don't even know where to begin to affectively discourage anyone from sending their child to this school. The culture needs a complete and total overhaul. The administration is AWFUL - non-supportive, uncaring and disengaged. The environment is one of violence and filthy disrespect and it will make your child a product of it. The principal, assistant principal and especially the counselors NEVER return calls or emails and couldn't care less about the success of your child. Teachers don't respond to your attempts to follow up on your child's progress. You aren't even allowed, let alone invited to view the classrooms during Back to School night. There are no parent teacher conferences and you better be wiling to FIGHT for a meeting with the school to set up any accommodations for an IEP or 504 plan. I would like to give praise to Alexandra Pereyr and Mr. Fisher for showing kindness and actually caring for their students. I hope they find a better place to teach..

First of all the traffic is horrendous and the busses situation is terrible second there is a severe lack of chairs just stools with no lumbar support. Then there is the worst lunch lines, I wasn't able yo eat most of the time. Lastly the halls are packed.

The administration and teaching staff seem only interested in the students achieving high scores on standardized tests. Making sure the students are learning and retaining useful information is the last priority at this school. My child has attended for three years, and 2 out of 3 teachers have been absolutely awful. My child's teacher this year flat out told me all she wants him to do is score well on the standardized tests. She then told me I should bribe my child with rewards to encourage him to do well on these tests. They are only concerned with getting high test scores and dealing out harsh over the top discipline. If your child is ever disciplined don't waste your time trying to appeal. They treat disciplinary appeals as a mockery and aren't consistent with the information that is provided in their own student handbook. I would never recommend anybody put their child in the south Reno elementary school.
