West-Mec - Raymond S. Kellis

This principal creates a completely toxic environment. She constantly yells at, belittles, and criticizes teachers and staff in front of others, making it clear that intimidation is her go-to management style. You hear her complaining, gossiping, and talking down to people all the time, which makes the whole school feel tense and unsafe. Staff morale is nonexistent, and it’s obvious that fear and favoritism drive how things get done instead of support or collaboration. It’s exhausting to see, and it really undermines the entire learning environment for students.

My kids been going here for five months I’ve never received so many phone calls for the petty situations. These teachers are getting younger and younger can’t handle situations. They are quick to issue a referral. It’s just petty phone call.

Excellent school and well taught .. the teachers are very caring.

I had my son in Alta Loma many years ago and after moving away we are now back in the community, and although this is not our home base school I made it a priority to now have my daughter attending. I had the most amazing experience with my son that I wanted my daughter to experience it as well. All of the teachers and staff have been so incredibly supportive with helping give her the best experience. I would highly recommend this school to anyone moving into the area.

Cotton Boll needs to have much higher ratings than what is above. It is an excellent school that goes above and beyond. Thank you to the admin that is visible on campus and to the teachers that truly care. I know sometimes teaching is a thankless job but know you are so very appreciated by many. The talk about the school is so positive and the community greatly appreciates you. Thank you for making a difference.

I think this school overall is a very very good school. First thing is first your kid will be safe and personally the teachers seem to care about the kids future and education. My son is now in first grade he used to be this shy kid who didn’t want to talk but now he is so open minded and very talkative and he enjoys going to sun valley.
