Santa Clara Elementary School

This school is not the worst but it could be better in my opinion. There is a lot of favoritism amongst the school staff and it is very noticeable. Most of the school staff is very nice and welcoming but there is a monitor there who really shouldn’t be working with children. She is rude and her approach to I guess discipline is concerning. My kids do love their teachers and they give them so much support and encouragement that it has outweighed the bad. They had almost a prison type of set up for lunchtime at the beginning of the year that I was not comfortable with. The kids had stay silent in the cafeteria (no talking to friends at all) if anyone were to talk the whole cafeteria would be required to run laps. There is I would say a normal amount of bullying but the vice principal is really great about keeping a sense of order in the school. She is highly respected amongst the kids and is very stern but also fair.
