Alice Shaw Elementary School

Family Partnership Charter School/Morro Bay Montessori: This school harbors a culture of exclusivity and elitism. If you are not one of the favored parents you will be denied all participation in volenteering and you may be denied (like I was) a conference over concerns with how your student suddenly dislikes school. Expect hand outs to come home cut off mid sentence or using last year's field trip flyers with completely incorrect dates and times. End of the year work is sent home (a full grocery bag) that is 90% blank pages and not completed assignments. No wonder my student learned to dislike school, as the teachers allow the students to do nothing all day. If your student speaks out against a bully, the teachers and administration will do all they can to silence the student who is getting bullied instead of addressing the student causing the conflicts. I am very disapointed in this school and wish, for my student's sake, that we had not given them a try. The program sounds so wonderful- we started as huge supporters but the reality was a completely ineffective program with terrible communication and it encourages students to not learn at the proper pace, as they do not have effective methods to get the students to actually do the work (which means many students stay in this school additional years, as the program allows the kids to go at their own pace" - which sounds lovely except no one learns faster, but many students take additional time to catch up.

We love this school! Teacher and staff are amazing. School families have great participation.

I had deleted my first review because it was a year later but The front office is STILL high with power. They sent my kid home really sick but they are saying my kid is not excused from her coming home. We are thinking it’s just because the VP doesn’t like our kids dad. Our kids father and I literally went oh boy here we go again.

We’ve had a wonderful experience so far, my child loves the school and teachers. The teachers and staff seem to be consistently attentive and helpful, and my child is learning quickly while having a great time. The after-school staff is just as friendly and attentive.

Vca and first baptist church only allow good reviews yo stay up. Is that very Christian? Send your kids anywhere but here. I have been trying to speak my truth and they keep deleting and blocking me. I am not going away.. robin stantorf (hilardis) a former student and teacher and is also my aunt, is an evil troll who is never held accountable for her deeds. God sees all. Everything done in the dark will be brought to light. God always makes sure there are witnesses. I am Sarah Johnson. Whom shall I fear...

I have three kids here (one at preschool and two at the elementary), and I love it. My kids are each two years ahead of where they should be academically, but more importantly they are falling in love with Jesus, excited to go to school every day, and making lasting friendships.
