L D Brady Elementary School

A COMPLETELY TERRIBLE SCHOOL/DISTRICT!!!! There is SERIOUS RACISM and DISCRIMINATION that is rampant and not even Acknowledged by the school district/staff, the fact that it’s not even addressed makes it worse. My daughters ages 7 and 5 had previously been wonderful students that were always so excited and eager to learn, until they were enrolled at John Gates Elementary school. Now they both simply DREAD attending and have started to suddenly act out, PARTICULARLY while at school. I am angry and disappointed in this school. I pray this place hasn't destroyed my daughters love and enthusiasm for learning. Why do I say these things? My daughters are caucasian and are constantly being bullied by both staff and students of the Hispanic ethnicity. The failure of the district/staff to see this type of garbage directed at my daughters speaks volumes about this place. I am currently in the process of removing them from the school and enrolling them elsewhere. I am sickened by John Gates Elementary school and the manner in which they allow this to happen. I GIVE THEM A FAILING GRADE AND DON’T ADVISE ENROLLMENT.

Excellent experience with my daughter being there from Pre-K through 2nd grade. The teachers and staff were tremendous. You can see they truly care about the kids.

It has been a great experience so far. It was my daughter's first year of attendance last year and the teachers showed genuine interest and support in encouraging my daughter's academic success. I look forward to another successful year.

Bullying can exist in many forms: It can be physical (pushing, punching, or hitting), verbal (name-calling or threats), or psychological and emotional (spreading rumors or excluding someone from a conversation or activity). The school does not agree. They punish the victim. Cater to the abuser. Poor guidance and ignorance does not excuse this schools response to a child's well being.
