Terra Linda Elementary School

If you enjoy a very strict brand of Christianity that believes God is fearful and intolerant, this is your school. However, if you follow the learning of Jesus's love and understanding towards "all" people, please be led to a better learning environment. As of just last year, the teachers and leaders were much more welcoming to others and seemingly more kind to the children as well. Bullying (such as repeated notes to die and cruel birthday wishes) were merely brushed off by the staff. There are so many toxic examples from the staff and children from the middle school in particular. As an awarded educator of both private and public schools, it is disheartening to see this kind of education existing today. "Love is patient, love is kind" truly exists outside of this space.

We have been involved with St Pius for a while. While the school started out great many years ago, it has not been good since we got new administration. It was a great place before. I felt it was much more co-creative and the teachers liked actually working there. The school is very cliquey and we've seen many turnovers of parents leaving. For the past few years, turnover has also been high for staff and morale seems to be very low. There are better private schools in the area with staff that cares about both the students and the parents.
