Saticoy Elementary School

The experience is terrible. Kindergarten graduates don’t even get a graduation ceremony

With the exception of one teacher and the principal—and that's being generous—the rest of the school staff are incompetent, to say the least. From micromanagement and lack of integrity to extreme rudeness in the administration office, they fail in multiple areas. They neglect the school, as demonstrated when a tree branch nearly harmed some kids, and allow parents to drive recklessly in the mornings. Meanwhile, gatekeepers keep children waiting at the gate for 10 minutes if they're just one minute late. This school is a complete mess.

We, my wife and I both went to Chase St. in the early 1950's. We met there and were married just a few blocks from the school at the Church of the Brethern. We're both in our mid 80's and still married. Can we credit Chase Street Elementary School, who knows?George Donaldson and Lois Deeter Donaldson Palm Springs, CA

Our daughter started in the dual immersion program in kindergarten. She had a wonderful teacher, Ms. Sisco, and her test scores were top of class in both languages. She is now in the 1st grade and has already hit her markers in reading and math for 1st grade. So far she’s doing great. Ms, Braley is a wonderful principal who really cares about her students. The school encourages parents to be actively involved in school activities and the kids seem to love learning and going to school. I don’t know what things were like a few years ago, but we love Coldwater Canyon.
