Kachina Elementary School

1. The class size on this rating is COMPLETELY WRONG. They have about 30 to 35, sometimes even 40 students in 1 classroom, per 1 teacher. It is ridiculously over packed and parents have to get waivers to get them into a better school that is less crowded.2. The teachers here do nothing to keep the students entertained in class. They have them sit down and take notes. There are no science projects, no having the KIDS get up and move around to help do interactive math problems. They do not keep the classroom fun which could explain why there's always so many students failing. All they do is take notes.3. The bullying is outrageous. The amount of children that think it is ok to bully here and no teachers intervene is wild. I mean last year a group of boys had started an entire fight club! It took my student telling me about it and then me telling the principal about it to get it under control. Students would make fun of my son for his father being sick with cancer and teachers never did anything about it. They DO NOT rally behind their students and its disgusting.4. They have no patience. Now that could be due to how overpacked the classrooms are but DO NOT TAKE IT OUT ON THE KIDS. It is not their fault that they are stuck in a classroom that is too large. It is the schools and the school districts.Overall this school is terrible. I have never been so disgusted with a school and how they handle things in my life until we came across Kachina. Hopefully the new principal actually takes what parents say with pride and becomes a solution versus adding to the problem.

Although teachers really do care about kids the treatment we got from the principal lacked the support we as parents expected, she will basically not hear ANY concern and blame us for everything. School psychologist needs more involvement as well.

I have been so impressed with the administration and all the faculty I have had the pleasure of meeting. I now have two sons at Kachina and they are thriving. I am so happy we transferred here this year.

Kachina is a great school that offers a plethora of resources and supports for their students. My child has attended Kachina since the kindergarten and she is doing so well. The teachers she has had have been incredible and truly care about her success and overall welfare.

Kachina is a very caring school to the students/parents and staff. We treat everyone like family and give respect to everyone! When you come on the grounds of Kachina you automatically see the family feeling as you will be greeted with smiles and offers to help you find what you are needing! Always helpful and genuine! Kachina has wonderful teachers/aides and Administration!
