Zavala Elementary School

We absolutely love this school. Our children have always had the most caring and loving teachers that go above and beyond to help them. The staff all take the time to truly get to know all the students. It is a wonderful, fun, peaceful learning environment for the kids. The learn so many real life skills on top of academics. Putting my kids in this school has been the best thing for our family!

The Kindergarten teacher bullies students. She openly does this in front of her students, which encourages children to bully. When students are bullying each other she ALLOWS this to happen. She picks at the children and over exaggerates normal child behavior, implying that the children have autism. She sent a child home on the day of his BIRTHDAY PARTY and KEPT everything that the parent had supplied for the party. This teacher should NOT be working with children. They are NOT tiny adults. More than anything they need your patience and support. They should NEVER be demeaned. All you teach is that it’s okay to belittle others when you should be spreading kindness. This is a sad thing i’ve endured hearing. Sadly this is all I can do this far away.NO child should ever have to feel like they aren’t enough. Yes, that’s how you make them feel. I hope that gets to you because a child that young should never have to say that. SMH.I hope you see this, you know who you are :)

St. John's was a wonderful school for my children. St. John's is strong academically. I feel that my children were very well prepared for their educational journey. The faculty and staff were amazing. The family atmosphere was always inviting. I would recommend St. John's to anyone looking to have their child in a strong academic school.
