Arrowhead Elementary School

The teachers and staff are great, but the principal that’s a different story. She thinks she can talk to some parents any way she wants. She’s very moody. The principal before her was nice though.

The first year our child was in this school for preK it was awesome. After that the decline started. First off the front office staff have to be the rudest and laziest bunch I've ever encountered. It really was a nightmare dealing with this group and almost anything they could push off on the teachers they would. Most of the time I found myself having to message teachers for administrative issues. It was ridiculous. It seemed like one year we would have an engaging teacher and the next one that would be absent more times than present. I have to second a review I read above sending the chromebooks hone everyday with the children while they were in school. Then requiring parents to pay for any repairs. Really seemed like a way for that part of the budget to be put on the backs if the parents. A few years into our child attending it was brought to our attention that services were likely needed. Ok so we went through the process only for the request to be shut down. It took going through the OPEC department to move this along to start the needed services. The communication the last two years after the pandemic and with changes bringing a new principal in and then a new vice principal 2 years in a row was most alarming. At one time I'm sure this was a good school but we totally regret the financial maneuvers we jumped through to put our child in KES. The last year was an absolute nightmare I hope no parent has to go through what we went through with a total lack of emotional support for our child due to personal tragedies and unresponsive requests to quench excessive bullying our child was put through the last year. There are definitely some huge changes that need to be made there. Severe incompetence big time.

Current Administration doesn't know how to handle difficult situations. Dr. Goldberg is flat out rude. Nursing staff phones it in. Had a bad run with teachers too. Last year the teacher allowed fidget toys and the complained the kids were distracted. duh.This year my kid gets a head injury because the teacher replaced their chairs with balls to sit on. This are elementary school age kids. You give them toys they are going to play.

My relative was not treated right and cried daily over teachers and staff. He/she felt their voice wasn't heard and teachers held long grudges. They would get glared at constantly by staff. They expect high expectations and when you don't meet the requirements you are judged. There is very clear favoritism. Please save your money

It's amazing! The teachers go above and beyond.
