El Dorado Middle School

I agree with a previous comment that if you address any concern with the school they will treat you differently. Over the last academic year, I have presented (what I believe) valid concerns with the preschool director: (1) children playing in a wet sandbox in 40 degree weather and sending kids home wet because of it, (2) being more aware and present with the kids who are arriving and departing, (3) teaching the children how to clean their nose if they have a cold or constant runny nose instead of just leaving them to pass their germs, (4) changing the filter and cleaning the vent shield because it literally black. Once I voiced any concern, teachers started to treat me differently. Instead of taking the concerns into account and speaking with me further, the director felt it was easier to dismiss my child from the school and unenroll her by the end of the week.

My child attended this school from Pre-K through 8th grade. I strongly urge families of color and those with children who have special needs to conduct a thorough and objective evaluation before enrolling.Examine the school’s overall environment, including staff and student demographics. Consider whether the school’s interpretation of Christianity aligns with your own values and beliefs.Your financial investment and, more importantly, your child’s educational and emotional well-being warrant careful and critical assessment.
