my children would come home almost every week with unexplained injuries or missing items such as clothes, school supplies and more. There does not seem to be a consistent curriculum in place. The administrative staff is cold and unapproachable. I tried checking reviews on Google, but it looks like t
Posted by a parent on 7/18/2025DON'T EVER TRY TO ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE, this school is horrible.The administration is disorganized with the absence of the Principal's leadership, and communication with parents is very poor. There often appears to be a lack of coordination between the staff and teachers.Please take note that they
Posted by a community member on 7/17/2025Why work for a school that doesn’t care about its staff or send your child to a place where leadership clearly doesn’t understand children? The principal has no classroom experience, isn’t a parent, and shows zero ability to connect with students. So what exactly qualifies him to support your child’
Posted by a community member on 7/17/2025An early childhood school that’s overly focused on academics, standards, and pleasing the Network, at the expense of the kids' well-being. Children should be allowed to enjoy being kids, but here, they’re overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations. It’s no surprise, though, when the principal has no re

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are very nice to the parents and their students. The office staff is very friendly. During after school, The principal is outside speaking to parents and asking how can she assists you. The bad thing is the security. There is about 1 or 2. Sometimes teens are fighting on the back of the school and No security is in surveillance. The woman security has a bad attitude and yells a lot to students.Parent Review11y ago - Gary Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended this school from pre-K until the beginning of 8th grade. During those years I unfortunately suffered bullying. I myself had brought this up to my teachers and nothing was done. I brought it up to the vice principal and nothing was done. I was hoping for some sort of help that not even the principal provided when I brought it to her attention. For many years it went unnoticed regardless of how many times I had reported it. It was only when I had an emergency evaluation by a licensed therapist during the school day that I finally received the help I so desperately needed. From then on, they began to truly care about bullying and its victims as soon as it had reached extreme of needing an intervention from a therapist. This school truly does nothing for its students and if I could leave a lower review, I would.Other Review10mo ago - Zapata Elementary Academy
