Posted by a community member on 5/8/2019I've noticed a lot of these reviews are really vague and generally unhelpful, so i've taken it upon myself to give an accurate description of the environment here. The students: Very diverse, to the point where caucasian students are the minority. Students are generally peaceful but there is a "bad crowd" of kids, like at every school. The Teachers: The teachers here vary widely. You have some who make it obvious that they love their job and their students, whose classes are very enjoyable. Then you also have teachers who are apathetic or underqualified (it's a known rumor that a football coach is teaching a physics class and students on the football team get better grades than the others in his class). Teachers here are also open to students voicing their opinion. I can vouch for myself that the teachers i've been assigned to have had great teaching skills and we're a joy to be around. The Staff: Counselors are very easy going, except for those who are new to the school. In my experience, they tend to have the best interests for students. Through what i've seen and heard, I assume they prefer to handle matters with students on a one to one basis rather than call parents in.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have been at this school from preschool. Now its my oldests 4th grade and I can say I couldn't have picked a better school. The staff/teachers are truly all amazing and work with parents to meet your childs needs. The principal Ms. Corral helps children with ANY problem their going through. The counselor Ms. Conner is also wonderful and has helped my child so much the past years. If you're looking for a great school THIS IS THE WAY TO GO .Parent Review1y ago - Ibarra Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrendous!!!! The teachers are seat fillers and the principal is even worse. Not to mention teachers outside of my child's class seemed to hate their mere existence of teaching. The teacher my daughter had lacked zero control over her class, my daughter learned nothing while she was there, and she never addressed parental concerns. If you care anything about your child's education send them far from this place.Parent Review4y ago - Normal Heights Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNormal Heights Elementary definitely comes off as a viable option for your child. In the years that my child has attended this establishment, I've taken note of a few things. (1) LACK OF COMMUNICATION; Teachers are slow, if not, borderline negligent when notifying parents of planned class projects, or simply providing updates that deviates from a class' normal schedule. This isn't limited to the Teachers. Even with the aid of an app called "Class Dojo", I still have not received a response from the Principal regarding an inquiry.(2) THE RECRUITER ; Although, a very nice and polite individual, the Principal comes off as a recruiter, rather than a "Principal". Whether it is casual small talk, or in auditorium, if you have another child younger than 4 years of age, be prepared for conversation to deviate and expect to be asked about the child's age, attending TK4, and whether or not your toddler would possibly qualify for enrollment, even if you have no inquiries, or concerns about the topic. I understand that there's funding in numbers, however, sometimes an individuals demeanor breaks through a little too much, and bit uncomfortable at times. Yes, it has happened more than once.(3) IDEOLOGICAL FARCE; "Community", "Consideration", and "Child Well-Being", are a few things that all will agree with. Personal experience has given me the privilege of encountering Teacher(s) with a "power-trip" mentality. There are Teachers who will "shift blame" about "forcing to make a scene" when a Parent is attempting to console their crying child. Most logical, and sympathetic individuals would allow a Parent to help calm, and comfort their own child. However, I don't know if it was discrimation, bias stance or simply an unknow reason for retaliatialion by Teachers, nevertheless, Teachers or any other Staff Member that exhibit this sort of behavior are not about "Community", "Consideration" or a "Child's Well-Being", moreover, it unequivocally unacceptable. I've forgiven the Teacher's outburst, and dismissed incident as a "mismanaged situation", but it seems as though some Teachers like to hold grudges. Very sad situation.(4) TAKE AWAY; Pay close attention to the Staff and the conversations you have. New Parents shouldn't be discouraged. Schools are like businesses. If a particular company doesn't serve you and your child's best interest, look for another company. The key is School Tranparency, and respect for a Parents sacrifice, responsibilty, and obligation.Parent Review1mo ago
