Susie Fuentes Elementary School

Teachers are pretty awesome that's why I rated them so high! Front office is the worst I have ever experienced... very rude! It's sad these are the attitudes you experience when you first walk into the school.

The 22-23 school year was great. Our daughter was so excited to go back and the 23-24 year has been an absolute flop. As a parent I feel so incredibly disconnected with my child's school. They say it's to make things safer but it makes parents feel completely unaware of their child's environment. Since school began this they have taken complete liberties with release procedures changing them multiple times with NO NOTICE. Today our children were released 15 minutes later than normal with zero explanation. I am disgusted with how Principal Dipalma has been completely absent outside of her weekly pre fabricated emails that completely lack any sort of explanation for her constantly changing procedures. They are hiding behind 'district policy' and keeping parents in the dark. Shame.

Amazed at the quality of education my children are receiving both in and out of the classroom. The teachers care about their students and help them excel.

The students carry all their books, pencils, folders, etc. in their backpacks at all times. This is ridiculous. The kids shouldn’t have to carry their school supplies on their backs all year. It’s the school’s responsibility to provide a place for the kids to store their things. A desk, cubbies, ect.

Very overpriced with under paid staff. Lesson plans in at least one of the classes is more of a formality then something teachers actually stick to. Favorites was also a big part where kids who were more of a "problem" were left to someone else because a teacher wouldn't want to deal with them. Decorating the hall was more important than helping take care of kids in the same room. More of a daycare than a preschool were children are learning.
