Mossdale Elementary School

My son attended Lathrop Elementary from Kindergarten and just graduated from 8th grade this past year. I believe that he received the ethics and stability in his student career today from the staff and faculty at Lathrop School. I absolutely adore the principal and office staff who genuinely care about the kids there. My son had some amazing teachers who have left an imprint on his life forever and helped me in guiding him in the right direction, Mrs. Hopper, Ms. Swanson, Mr. Dalisay - We will remember you always!

This is my sons first year at the school (1st grade) . First few months were ok, at around month 3 my son complained about being bullied on the school bus. I wrote to the school about the incidents- received no reply or confirmation. Shortly after he began getting bullied on campus by a 2nd grader, again no response to my email. Most recently, he came home talking about a conversation he had with classmates, cursing involved and inappropriate things, I AGAIN emailed teacher AND CC'D PRINCIPAL-- NOTHING. I will be clear, when my son was having side conversations or was tardy or ruff housed while playing soccer I got an email. When I write back and ask if they have received any of mine..again silence. I dont know if the teacher(s) are programmed not to reply..it was just super strange. Yard duty is absolutely horrible. The nicest is one is the lady that does the crosswalk in the AM/PM. Seriously thank you for always being so sweet to these kids when you see them! The rest are yelling constantly at the children. The school offers a community food drive - all food is expired. Office staff is completely lost. No one looks like they want to be there..They are there 1000% for the paycheck and not a care of the kids. This school lacks compassion, organization, communication, parent participation and safety for our kids. Every week I brace myself for what I'll hear about next or worse for my sons safety. Year 1 and we're out of there. Enrolled in a new school for the next Fall year

If you child is different in appearance or mental capabilities do not attend this school they will gladly give you seat to the next child in line rather that fix the problems. Administration changes every year, there has been no consistent guidance from staff. The campus monitors spend more time chatting with each other than look out for children's safety. IEP and SST and 504s are not followed effectively so the child has no clear understanding of which rules they choose to enforce that day. The constant bullying has made my once confident loving child afraid of social situations. And everyone gets to be on honor roll they give academic awards like candy. Lets say the bar is set very low.

Epic academy in River islands is a great school, my daughter likes it a lot says better than Cupertino school she went
