Apple Tree School

HORRIBLE!!! The teachers are unprofessional and argumentative!! I cannot believe some of them are even educated. The principal is all over the place. And the curriculum is very poor. My daughter attended this school for 2 years. After 2 years enough was enough. I felt she was barely being taught and the teachers talk to the kids crazy. I purposely spent a bunch of money to move out of the district and I am glad at my decision. My child doesn’t have any issues at the new school. And the curriculum is better. If you are new to the area and care about your students education I’d suggest looking into a private school or charter school. Trust me!

Ive been a parent to multiple students at Ponderosa Elementary for roughly 4-5 years now.Not to say it was the best to school to Begin with, but the recent change are atrocious. Now the New Kindergarten teacher is extremely great, she has my little 1 reading in KG! But other than that, its as if the other teachers don't take their job seriously, at times it seems like a complete joke. Everything from little kids fighting on a daily basis... to little elementary school kids being caught Vaping....Where are the teachers? On top of that the School majority amount Group Punishment...for an entire grade level... For example...if 1 3rd child talks at the wrong time...All 3rd grade children are punished. Pure Laziness!Along with the fact that it seems the Teachers are absolutely overwhelmed, this website 1 teacher per 14 students? absolute joke, try more like 24-30 students per teacher. That's why Group Punishment is favored... other than individually taking time to address the students... they have too many to address... They where short staff on Bus Drivers... so they hired a bunch of Temp's... who would literally drop children off miles from their bus stop, simply at the wrong address...Ignore the child when they tell you its the wrong stop, tell them to walk. Happening to 1 child 1 time. Ok, Mistakes are understandable..But multiple children being dropped at the wrong location....multiple times... also being forcfully held on a bus due to ignorant Bus Driver. Safe to say the School is Circling the Gutter if not already in it, Luckily enough its definitely my last year with this School.

Teacher are incapable of solving kids issues, zero empathy towards the kids and parents, they can not handle a situation, they not only terrible teachers but terrible human beings. Zero support to mental health.

Tengo una fatal experiencia, ya que mi niño que es autista lo han golpeado constantemente por compañeros de su clase y dos veces su maestro también y no han hecho nada al respecto, he hido hablar con la junta directiva , con el distrito y no han hecho nada , prometen y no hacen nada , he tenido que llevar a mi niño al médico con su cabeza partida y aún estoy esperando respuesta de la escuela , no recomiendo esa escuela y más para padres que tengan niños especiales .Padres no tengan miedo de defender a sus hijos a cualquier nivel , pues ellos dependen de nuestra protección.

En general es muy buena escuela, su personal tiene una calidad Humana increible. Gracias Joselin por siempre dar el support cuando lo hemos necesitado.

Every first time parents always have the fear of leaving their only child somewhere to be taken care of. Well I am not exceptional. But at Abiding, I found it settling. The environment,the energy and effort every educator/instructor has in this school, is phenomenal. I was certain that my kid will get the best and shall be the best. She has!. The change that I have seen, I will highly recommend this school everyday. Thank you teachers and pastors for what you do every day. I pray for more strength to all of you.
