Zeferino Farias Elementary School

They need to do more about bullying

I have three children there they all have a disability and they get treated poorly

There are some great teachers at this school. The GT program is pretty good. The staff for the most part has done well to have this school running well. When I say staff, I mean teachers, cafeteria, teacher aides, and cleaning staff, I cannot say much about the the "higher up" administration. I know that in most cases the staff reflects a good leader but in some cases that is not always the case. This school in my opinion is rated average because it lacks structure from the administration and from the lack of parent involvement. Some of the parents don't care for the type of education that their child receive; they see the school as a day care center. The kids need to be held accountable as well as the parents and if that were to happen, this would make it a great school but unfortunately you need a great leader to spear head this project and unfortunately I don't see Dr. King helping out in this issue. Over all as long as your kid has a good teacher that is all that matters so hope that each year your kid gets one other wise good luck for the future of the kids.

My daughter has been bullied in this school several times this year! the principal is NOT on top of things at all. My daughter feels threatened to go to class and feels there is nothing that can be done about it. Which is true since all the bullies get is a "talk". There should be more parents involved and the school should implement that as well. I have spoken to the principal several times and all she says is "its kid stuff" and that my daughter over reacts! I really hope that the district gets more involved at this elementary. I hate having to come home from work just to see my daughter cry and ask me to change her schools. We all need to be involved in our childrens lives and increase communication. Our CHILDREN should not be afraid to go to class because they think they are going to get beat up!!

My daughter attends this school and this past year was her first year enrolled as a kindergarten. I am ecstatic to say that her teacher was brilliant and patient. My daughter finished the year knowing how to read, count, and was recommended for GT classes next year. Altough, one thing the school can improve in is by adding a playground for the kids and having more extracurricular activities such as Flokoric, and spelling B.

My daughter love this schoo,l happy daughter happy mother
