Esperanza Elementary School

The amount of fights I have heard about are unbelievable. The fact that this school brushes bullying off like it's some excuse is awful. I seen so many kids get harmed from just attending to this school. Ever since I seen my child go to this school, they have been less engaged and they are now having eating problems because they are too stressed about being perfect just so they could meet the level that the teachers want them to be. They treat them horribly. An another reason why this school is terrible, is that ever since my kid transferred here, they started throwing up almost daily from the lunches here.

This has been a nightmare I regret even enrolling my child from the bullying to the teachers lack of control over the students to calling saying that my child is absent and me having to show up because I’m the one that drop my child off and watched them walk behind the gate till they got to the cafeteria. Then call me 11 o’clock. Thankfully, I showed up and got physical eyes on my child to make sure they were there still.

This school is horrible. The teachers, principal and counselor are awful! They treat the children bad and don't care about them. Don't put your child in this school!

Overall experienceWe have two children at Adams Traditional Academy — one in kindergarten and one in 8th grade. Our oldest has been at this school since kindergarten. Over the years, we have had a very positive experience and truly feel this is a great place for learning and growth.Teachers and academicsThe teachers are dedicated, professional, and genuinely care about students. They take time to support children when needed and keep good communication with parents. The academic program is strong and structured, and we can clearly see how much our kids are learning year after year.Focus and disciplineOne thing we really appreciate is the focus on discipline and learning. Phones are not allowed during the school day (only turned off), which helps students stay focused and avoid distractions. This creates a serious learning environment.Opportunities for studentsStarting from 6th grade, students can join team sports and compete with other charter schools. The school also offers many activities and opportunities that help children grow in confidence, teamwork, and responsibility.Final thoughtsWe feel very comfortable and happy with Adams Traditional Academy. It is a school that builds strong academic foundations, good habits, and discipline. We would confidently recommend it to other parents who are looking for a structured and high-quality education for their children.
