Maidu Elementary School

If you are looking for a Montessori experience this is NOT it. Run. Teachers are unqualified and lack any Montessori Training. The children are coloring all day and have very little direction with materials. My 2 year old daughter was there for 9 months and and learned the word "No". Teachers are very unprofessional (talk about other students in front of parents plus teachers also clearly have favorites) . The teacher could not tell me specifically what my child did during the day. Teachers are always on their phones texting. Teachers are tired.

10 out of 10 recommend this school. Our particular experiences are with the teachers in Willow class and Cherry blossom. We couldn't ask for more supportive teachers in Miss Briana and Miss Raisa. The assistant teachers in the classes, Miss Anna, Miss Luby and Miss Kiley are all wonderful. You can tell the school strives to have family engagement through Gallery nights, color runs, and back to school BBQ's. Safety gates have been implemented for the entire school and they are currently building more classrooms. Learning and teaching curriculum has been well thought out and quite frankly the social-emotional support extends beyond the kids. Miss B's calm and confident demeanor always reinforces to me that my children are in good hands in regards to learning and social emotional support. I can't give any stars for special education as we don't utilize any resources, however, I can say that through GBM my children strengths and "things to be improved" have been identified early which I am forever grateful for.
