Finkl Elementary School

The school is improving and has small class sizes. Dedicated teachers and well taken care of facilities.

Poor school with bullying problems. Students sit on laptops doing computer programs alone for hours a day. Internet program IXL teaches the students, not the teachers. New admin is white in a Hispanic school. It's a mess.

My child is in her second year in the school. She has loved her teachers and they do a lot of social emotional learning as well as academics. The school has many cultural events. Most of the students are Mexican American and my kid loves those events. Because she's not Mexican, they also accomodate her to observe and teach about our cultural customs. The Special Education is especially strong. Many surrounding schools push out disabled students to raise test scores. But Telpochcalli accepts all students and supports them. The curriculum is not only about academics, but helps students feel love and support for themselves and others with disabilities. The multilingual program is strong. It starts from Pre-K but you can enter at any time and they have special classes to catch you up if your kid is coming from a monolingual schools.

This school showed me a lot of values and a lot of responsibilities there might be people who cant used to an environment where there supposedly missed treating their child when nobody is the staff is basically the best and the overall school also the passion for things exists here best program to say to have is the boy's soccer team is the best in the network and the best for discipline and overall show yu the passion for the sport and academics there a lot of responsibilities and the kid is taught good enough to be independent later on

The entire staff works to make sure everyone feels welcome at Ruiz!
