Ernesto Galarza Elementary School

This school has consistently shown a disregard for racism. When events have occurred having to do with racially targeted bullying against the black students that attend this school. The principal Angela Guzman has simply shoved it under the rug, instead of creating an action plan on how to actually fix the problem. It has been simply ignored. Even though the parents of the targeted students have come into the school and talked with the school officials, everything has remained unchanged. The fact that this school can sit back and watch these students being bullied and don’t do anything about it is disgraceful and disgusting. This principle advocates for de-escalation and silencing of these problems then actually proposing a solution and education on how to prevent these occurrences in the future. This school does not advocate for equality, kindness and fairness. Do not send your kids here.

I love Galarza, the teachers are great and Ms. Guzman is wonderful. I didn't know I will like this school so much since the rating is low. My children enjoy going to school and learned a lot from all the teachers. I wish there are more parents involvement and stronger sense of community. Most of the parents are working class, thus many of them are busy with their jobs. It is so expensive to live in Bay Area, we try our best to provide our out children.

My son and daughter both went to this school. I love the school

Before this school was so bad cause the teachers did not helping the student. Now I can see the teachers are new and they are kind of nice, but the principal is so horrible

Now they changed all the new teacher who are better than before. They are helpful and working well with the students
