Fletcher Elementary School

My kid got bully in this school the other kids parents worked at the school the staff and teacher said my kid cries to much this went on for about 2 months one day my kid came home with scratches I had enough went to the school the staff just kept telling me they didn't know anything about it found out who the other kid and parent is the principle called me gave me excuses never apologize or made anything better took my kid out of school

We have had a wonderful experience at this school. The teachers and staff are caring, dedicated, and truly committed to each child’s success. My child feels safe, supported, and excited to learn every day.

We love Jones. The teachers are informative and support our children in their learning. Our daughter loves going to school and everyone is kind and welcoming!

Ignore the ratings, I am just here to say that this website is misclassifying the boundary lines for the assigned elementary school here in San Diego. Ladrillo Street in 92111 is assigned to Chesterton Elementary school per the San Diego unified school district website, but this website is saying it is in the zone for Linda Vista Elementary School. That is incorrect. Not sure where the data is coming from.

I had mixed feelings about this school. On the one hand, it seemed to be a good fit for my middle schooler. She was brand new & was welcomed right in. She is a creative artsy tech type & I feel really thrived here in this smaller environment. I was really attracted to the whole child inclusive approach.But it wasn’t the same welcoming vibe for my 1st grader unfortunately, & that tainted everything for me. They promoted a great special education team with an inclusive approach. I have read all about inclusion models specifically for autism & was thrilled to finally find a school that seemed to offer this & truly embrace difference. It looked great on paper. But apparently they mean those that are a little quirky, aka, the “easier to handle” kids. My child is a happy animated little girl, she just needs some extra accommodation. There is too much nuance to fit here, but in a nutshell they (particularly one staff member) made us feel so small, like we’d be burdening them if we chose to keep her there, were told that their enrollment admin was new, implying he shouldn’t have enrolled her, that of course they’d have to legally accommodate her but “to be honest I’m not sure this will work out”, & because of the strict mask policy she would be separated from her class, not allowed to play on the playground or really do anything fun the school had to offer because of her sensory aversion to keeping any kind of mask on her face (not for lack of trying). So basically my child who is already so othered in her life would be further ostracized. I am for masks, but this is supposed to be accommodated for. I did not process this all fully until later, I walked out of there just crying in defeat. We could have fought this, but after the encounter we felt so discouraged we pulled her right out & continued homeschooling as we had been. We wanted her to experience what her sister had, but felt she’d have been miserable there being made to watch everyone else experience all the perks of this school while being isolated in one of the dreary back trailers. And let me tell you, this school is colorful & alluring for a little kid like her. She was upset to leave without getting to play on the playground like the other kids. I wanted to pull my older child out too, but felt it wouldn’t be fair to her, so we stuck it out. Needless to say, the year was very bittersweet. We ended up moving out of the area so she won’t be returning next year anyway.

I would rate it a 0/10. this school is awful and does not help the students. They blame students for being upset and treat them like burdens. They do not listen to their needs or complaints. All they care about is a paycheck and not their students well being.
