Zavala Elementary School

very good school when i was there

Avoid This School — Looks Can Be DeceivingThis school may have a beautiful campus, but that’s where the positives end. The staff is overwhelmingly made up of teachers who seem exhausted and disinterested in teaching. Many of them appear to be simply going through the motions, and the quality of education and care reflects that.The World History teacher is a prime example — an elderly woman who has stopped teaching altogether. Instead, she gives students videos to watch, yells at them constantly, and even raises her voice at concerned parents. She clearly plays favorites, giving special attention only to students who offer expensive gifts.The Religion teacher piles on homework as if no other subjects exist, and her religious views are pushed to the point of fanaticism. It’s less about education and more about indoctrination.The Algebra teacher often veers off-topic to talk about her difficult upbringing and seems to carry resentment toward girls who come from two-parent households. It creates a tense and unfair learning environment.As for one of the English teachers, their behavior is shockingly unprofessional. They’re known for yelling at students for even minor things and have no issue being rude to parents as well.This is a Catholic school that severely lacks compassion and humanity. Most of the teachers seem to enjoy the power they hold over the students rather than nurturing their growth. It feels more like a toxic environment than a place for learning.If you care about your child’s mental health and emotional well-being, do not be fooled by the appearance of the campus. Avoid sending your daughter here — it’s not worth the trauma.

I wanted to love this school but unfortunately I have decided not to return for 2018-2019.

Terrible administration. Interim principal Sister Angelica lacks tact, is unprofessional and very disrespectful to parents. Admin and office secretary Anguiano lack people skills.

Great School, Great value and Great community!
