East San Jose Elementary School

If you want to send your child to a school where they will get bullied, then this is the school for you. The principal ignores your phone calls and emails and reroutes them to the dean (who seemed to be the only person that actually cared about my student at the school). The teachers get away with making inappropriate comments towards students, including telling the entire class about my daughters past prior to being adopted(without her permission), and the school claims to be "non punitive" in order to excuse the bully's behavior. She was made fun of for her appearance, for having two moms, for having short hair, for being adopted the list goes on and on. There is zero accountability, and my student was choked by another student in which I was not notified of. She came home crying almost every day and was told that people were mean because it was her fault. We moved here from another state where she was excelling in school, her grades dropped severely the first grading period here, she was told she was ahead of all the other children, but her grades did not reflect that. When we asked for homework to work on the subjects she was struggling with the teacher told my student "That homework was stupid and that her mom's wouldn't be able to teacher her the work anyways" If I could give this school -5 stars I would.

Run....don't walk...to another school. We had the unfortunately experience of being forced to attend the school secondary to a court order. Most teachers were parents of other kids at the school. The lack of training was evident. This is radical right wing evangelical Christian church which is attended by the president of the national right to life group. If you're of the ilk, you'll get on fine with the sub par teaching and Christian nationalist philosophy. But if your are not, run (don't walk) somewhere else

I am a proud MAS parent and my child has been at MAS since kindergarten! He is now a 10th grader and is a dual enrollment student and is thriving! He will earn an associate's degree by the time he graduates MAS! I could not be happier about this! So proud of him and grateful for MAS!

This is such a wonderful school! The administration and the teachers genuinely care about the students and work very hard to ensure the students receive quality education. This is my son's first year at this school and he's learned more this years than in all the years at his previous school. I wish this school had a high school because we would stay through high school if they did. I would highly recommend this school to everyone wanting a quality education for their children! I cannot say enough good things about this school and their teachers!
