Attendance staff is awful. The main office staff is awful sounds like they are always in a bad mood. Every year it gets closer and closer to the actual return day when they start announcing the class rooms the students will pertain to. Then they wonder why they have to make announcements on a newsle
Posted by a parent on 8/12/2026The uniform policy is very strict. The recess teachers always complained. The teachers are either kind or have a terrible attitude. Teh counselors don’t really care about students mental health. Also the lunch looks unedible.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorst school ever! Take your child out of here. Principal is quite irresponsible and teachers only protect him, people here show a face of being very kind staff, but in reality they cover their faults each other, without caring if it affects the student. Don't be fooled by their fake friendliness and be careful.Parent Review5y ago - Calmeca Academy Elementary School
