Sutter Elementary School

I would rate this school 5 out of 5 stars.

My son had hands put on him by a teacher and nothing was done about it. Tried to call office to speak about it and get hung up on. Extremely unprofessional and a waste of funding from the state of California.

My son comes home and cries while doing homework. He's changed dramatically since starting school here. Hes not the happy, curious, and attentive little boy I raised anymore.He gets picked on for being a minority. He told me he wants to dye his hair black because he thinks his looks like a baby's hair. I found out the other students exclude him for being different and dont play with him. He told me some kids stopped talking his language when he tried to join them at tetherball.Parents aren't allowed on school property or allowed to check on how the school operates during school hours. Which is appalling.I put a audio recorder in my sons school bag.Adults at constantly yelling at students and imposing mass punishments on all students for the actions of some.Some students were not listening or following orders to stop screaming and yelling during lunch time while eating. The adults only response was.to yell louder and eventually punish the whole grade by taking away their recess. For the students who were not misbehaving, they recieved the same punishment.

My son and daughter are in the 2nd and 3rd grade. They transferred from another elementary school in Antioch last year. They were bullied and ignored by their previous school /staff but John Muir elementary proved to be a wonderful school. The teachers truly care and works with the parents. My children are flourishing here. I highly recommend this school.
