Pete Mirich Elementary School

Very poor administration. Has been in the local newspaper for allowing bullying and has very negative reviews from teachers and students who attend the school. High teacher turnover every year and very negative school culture.

Overall I think it is a great school. I have a daughter who goes there and she has had great teachers all along. I like the way things run and I like way she is being taught.

I would give them a 5 stars, but there were a few hiccups along the way. The staff members I dealt with were great and very informative when it came my questions. There was lack of communication that had me concerned, but was resolved as soon as I pointed it out. No matter where you go, there will always be some form of bullying or discrimination to which I made the staff aware that I as a parent would not tolerate whether it was someone bullying my child (which happened for a trimester) or my child doing the bullying.Their philosophy is great, but there needs to be more communication between school and parents. Parents need to try to be involved both at home and at school to make the school's philosophy work. Both of my children will be attending this coming school and I will make sure I'm more involved.

No. Don't do it. Just run. Don't bring your kids to this school. They just plain don't do anything about bullying.

My child has been attending UCE for three years and I love this school! I will be sending my younger children as well!! The communication between the school and myself is great. They provide every tool for parents to be involved. They have a relationship with my child he isn’t just another number or test score! He is above state average himself I was surprised by the numbers listed above. It’s a safe, warm, and professional environment. I am very pleased with UCE.
