The school's performance has been extremely concerning. My child was neglected, denied water, and not provided with any meaningful education. I have documented evidence of these incidents on a device I sent to the school. Even during a season when hydration is crucial, my child was not given water.
Posted by a parent on 10/13/2023I like how they teach. My daughter loves it. She likes to go to school.
Posted by a parent on 1/11/2023Teachers and non- teaching staff are always ready to help. Great
Posted by a parent on 1/22/2020Staff should get to know even the baddest students. The staff should behave professionally as role models. The principal has been an important part in the school's possible success. They should promote fun group activities in the classroom. Stop the every hour violence. Teachers should show care tow
Posted by a community member on 7/29/2014It would be better if Spanish speakers were allowed to use any language they want. If a fight breaks, it should be stopped immediately. A staff member shouldn't just sit there and watch for a few minutes then start separating the children. More than half of the students have no motivation or mentors

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is very unorganized I feel like the principal doesn't do anything and only cares about her reputation. The social emotional support and special education is SO BAD, the learning is really bad too I learned nothing at this school. They are low on staff, the school couldn't find teachers since the start of the school year because the teachers DO NOT want to go to this school. I did not have a homeroom teacher for the school year so we basically didn't learn anything same with having a substitute for the math teacher and when the math teacher was there they got angry at us for us not understanding the way of how they teach. I feel unprepared for high school. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOUR CHILD GOING TO THIS SCHOOL THEY WILL LEARN NOTHING HERE PLUS THE SCHOOL REALLY NEEDS TO UPGRADE THE BUILDING THE CEILINGS IS CRUMBLING.Other Review1y ago - Claremont Academy Elementary School
