Deerfield Elementary School

My review is referring to my experience with some of the support staff. There are some very nice people working in the school, unfortunately, whomever has been responsible for doing the hiring over the past few years seem to have scraped the bottom of the barrel. There have been some of the nastiest attitudes in grown adults that are working with children that I have seen and so unprofessional in appearance and talking like they’ve no sense. These support staff employees are supposed to be assisting as needed but they don’t seem to want to show up and do the job they were hired to do. Not sure why the heads of the Special Ed dept. and administration are unable to monitor their own problem children employees. Again, I can only speak for grades K-5, but what an absolute disaster this school is. Classroom behavior seems to be an issue according to my child, however, it would appear that nothing is ever resolved as a result of the VP not having a backbone. Revolving door of in and out behavior issues. There are some wonderful teachers, unfortunately, there are a few teachers that seem to be lazy, disorganized, and just waiting for the end of their career. No, I absolutely do not recommend this school at this time.

2019-2020 Was the worse year at Magnolia Elementary. No school activities that were promoted by PTA. No respect for students and their families. No respect for the teachers and staff. The principal needs racial sensitivity training and not be a principal. Well qualified individuals who would connect out community and make our children feel proud to be who they are.

I’m not sure what the previous reviewer had against Riverside. This school is amazing! I never had an issue once with any staff or admin’s! As a parent I love walking in the door and the staff knowing who my kid is. Wonderful school!

My son got bullied numerous time and they did nothing about it.
