Northeast Campus

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.

As a former student of the school with a younger sibling in it I feel like the school has its flaws when it doesn't come to education. My biggest issue is the bus policy due to the area we live in once the child enters first grade they're expected to walk or drive to school however the school doesn't keep in mind that some parents can't take their children and the heat is excessive to the point they do recess indoors despite having playgrounds because it's so hot, and the walk is actually pretty lengthy which comes off as a hazard for safety to me. I also think memories I had with staff weren't always fun to look back on at times. School education wise isn't bad especially if the teachers are good at getting to the kids. I can recall good moments at the school but with my younger sibling going there I can't help but worry instead

Multiple children left due to bullying before school year ended. Teachers do not seem to have the tools to handle what is going on. Two students got into a physical fight in class and parents were not notified. My child was constantly picked on by other students and nothing was done. Also witnessed principal holding a little girl’s wrist really tight and the girl seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Paseo Hills has been known for its issues for many years. Poor communication from staff and principals regarding big things like threats, but you'll get weekly emails with a word of the week. Principal Hood will call you and sweep things under the rug if you have a concern. My friends child was found with an older student (she was in kindergarten) in the bathroom stall and the staff acted like it was no big deal. Another friends son's teacher is simply passing him along rather than actually helping him. He doesn't understand the material and is on an IEP but the minimal support is evident when a third grader can hardly read. Our experience has also been less than ideal with everyone except the amazing office team, and we are happy that they now have a police officer on staff. Even the nurse does not communicate, if your child comes home with a large bandaid and blood dripping down their skin with a huge bruise you'll have no idea they even went to the nurse unless your student tells you. We have been a part of DVUSD for several years ranging from kinder to HS and the district as a whole continues to go downhill. They want their students off of IEP's, they do testing without consent, their curriculum is awful, they spend countless amounts of money on things like technology when their money can be used other places, and their focus is not safety or the well being of students like they say. A matter of fact, you don't even need to have a background check to volunteer on field trips or go to school dances. You also cannot open enroll with an IEP, therefore we are stuck with Paseo for a few more years until my children go to HS, as it's our home school. If you're looking for a home, I do not recommend moving to an area where your student will go to Paseo Hills. From the principal, to the teachers, and the learning in between, Paseo Hills continues to be a disappointment.

Charter schoolSs DO NOT have to take a special needs child. I think that is how most charters keep their ratings. They either kick them out or make them so miserable, they have no choice but leave. I thought this could be a good alternative to the the unconventional teachings of public school- but clearly they are only worried about ratings NOT CHILDREN
