Telpochcalli Elementary School

My child has been in this school for 7 yrs. This is a really nice school. I love the after-school programs and the teaching. The only thing I dislike is the food. My child has told me that he has gotten rotten apple and expired milk! One time the chicken was even raw! I feel like the only thing they have to work on is the food.

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.

Finkl is a bit of a mixed bag. on one hand, the educational environment is pretty strong. the teachers are genuinely nice and clearly love what they do, which makes the students actually excited to learn. while there are a couple of teachers that were truly bad, the vast majority of the staff is supportive. the school also does a decent job with special education support and is very good at engaging with families, they really make an effort to include parents in the community. however, there are GINORMOUS issues with the administration that impact the schools safety and culture. during my time there, i found the social emotional support to be very poor, more importantly, there is a serious lack of fairness from the principal and assistant principal, and i truly mean it, i was at that school for a long time and by far the current AP and Principal are genuinely THE worst people in that school, they are comparable to that of a dictator. now with the fairness, there appears to be a heavy bias in how discipline is handled. any race other than african americans recieve a slap on a wrist for doing anything wrong, while other races face heavy punishment for similar or lesser infractions. because of this administrative bias and the inconsistent environment it creates, this school will continue being a mid place with the only the staff being the good part.

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!
