KIPP University Park

The principle never cared about my child. He was constantly bullied and picked on. We reported it multiple times and nothing ever happened. The teacher he had this last year was also horrible. Never in class, never gave the kids homework, couldn’t control her classroom. My child’s first year at el dorado was great. His teacher was perfect. She left the school and then I saw the school for what it really was. We had 0 parent teacher conferences, no back to school nights. Only got a report card once this year. My son had 9 absences for the whole year and I got a letter from truancy. Despite calling and reporting his absences. They gave my child lice and didn’t care. When I reported it they said it didn’t matter. The staff was rude in the office. The never opened the gates on time. Parking and pickup is a damn nightmare. I wouldn’t enroll my kid in this school if it was the last one in Stockton.

Had terrible experiences at this school due to bullying and the staff treat visitors and parents with no respect

I rate this school a 6 star for the fact that I been dealing with this school for over 5 yrs and each year it gets better

My three children graduated from Annunciation. We have many fond memories of our years there. The parish/school community is close, and the graduates tend to go on and do very well in their pursuit of higher education. My three children have all graduated from college now, and their outgoing, ambitious personalities are due, in a large part, to the well-rounded education they received at Annunciation.

I am very regretful for choosing this school. The curriculum is good for a Stockton school but not as good as the school my husband and I attended. The teachers are nice enough but the admin. leaves much to be desired. I had to fight 6 months for my disabled child to get services that she should have gotten automatically. I felt retaliated against for speaking up for my child as if I was asking for special treatment. If I was not a SAHM with the time to navigate the legal system, it might have taken twice or three times as long to get services. Additionally, The admin. has tried to discourage development of a PTA, even though said PTA has raised over $6000 so far. The school refuses to give them a wish list and doesn't want to accept the money. This is despite the fact that the school doesn't have a playground or recess time. I was reluctant to send my kids here because of this but the school said they were working on getting recess equipment. This is the best option available but it still doesn't live up my expectations. I am thinking of taking a job with Lincoln District so that my kids can go to school there. I guess I was looking for the quality education that I received.
