In 2014 my sister found a dead body behind the schools fence. At recess, they did not alert the parents or shutdown the school day went on and after school, my sister told my parents exactly who the dead body was. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE. I was here from the 3rd - 7th grade. I'm 23 now. In the 3rd grade on September 11 my art teacher play a clip from 9/11 of people, jumping out of the burning building. With no context. I practically skipped the fourth grade because my fourth grade teacher, (Mrs. Shellhammer) would constantly kick me out of class and I had to sit in a corner in someone else's classroom for the entire fourth grade. I am not joking! If I opened my mouth, she would just send me to another class even though I wasn't getting written up!? In the fifth grade we had a friend her name was Sarah, she was an orphan. She had a foster mom with a foster brother when they came here we knew how Sarah terrible depression, and a cutting problem. My sister and a few friends brought her a basketball and covered it with glitter. No we did not spread glitter all over the school that wasn't the issue. The issue was when we were walking down the hall, we had glitter all over our hands and faces when we were told to wash it off, we said no. Long story short they brought the police so Sarah starts running away from the school. A police officer teases her before she can even get off school premises. We were in the office watching this happen. Also in the 4th grade, my music teacher (ms. shmitt) said infront of everyone "CHASE YOU DO NOT HAVE A VAGINA" because he was singing the part made for the girl. Also She heard I was sad about not getting the part in a dr. Seuss play so she decided to pull me out of my first period class to tell me what she thinks. She said, "you did not get the part because you cannot sing." Why did she only do that to me well because she heard someone say that, that girl only got the part because she's one of the teachers daughters and thought it was me who said it. Mind you I am literally crying before she even pulled me out of class because I had just gotten beaten down and in rock by my stepmom I was leaving from my hand and wrist and was. Also one day my parents showed up to school because money was missing so in the office my parents beat us in front of the whole staff. And did nothing about it even tho it's your job to report children being abused. Yet you guys constantly called CPS on us and then when you actually watch a child get beaten, you guys did nothing about it. What do you have to say for yourself Inca. My brother is autistic and was in a special needs class. My brother being in the first grade had accident in his pants and they didn't even bother cleaning him up. Mind you, when you ask for a tour of the school, they have showers that are made for children of special needs in the nurses office and in the classroom. They locked him in the bathroom and he was playing with his feces. It wasn't just the teachers it was the staff and the principal they were all generally bad people that did most of the abuse especially if we're in the first grade. I got sent to a first graders classroom for detention and I watched the first grade teacher treat all her kill shit I literally stood up and said yeah I'm not staying here and walk the fuck out until the office pulled me right back into her class and so her and another teacher were literally looking at me and laughing at me the entire time. Tell me Inca was any of the right or appropriate why didn't you just transfer me to another teacher if I was missing so much precious learning time. Why didn't anybody call CPS when our parents put their hands on us right in front of the whole entire staff?

It was completely different at our previous school. Teachers looked happy and excited to be there. Some of the teachers look so miserable!! Especially, ARIANNA BROWN, WHOM TEACHES 1st grade! She has been every parent's nightmare!! She shouldn't be teaching at all. She does things purposefully to hurt a child's feelings it's disturbing. Once you call her out, she stunned and shocked. Teaching is not your calling. Every time I have tried to engage, she has a miserable attitude and look about her. They need to start handing out psych evaluations to these "teachers." Because who can hurt a child's feelings and feel absolutely nothing is beyond disgusting! The school district and principal did absolutely nothing when we requested to move our son out of the classroom. Our request was denied. Now my son is traumatized by ARIANNA BROWN.

This school has no student of the month ceremonies or awards ceremony. No field-strips, no activities. Only once in the whole school year. They don't really acknowledge students improvements or anything. Although my kids did get good grades but still waiting for the end of school grades.

Now idk if it is a discrimination issue or what, but I personally wouldn't trust Mrs. bunch-rindell (1st grade) or Mrs. Santistevan. They have an issue allowing children to use the restroom and then use scare tactics to keep them from physically walking out the classroom to use a restroom when they are on the verge of peeing their pants in front of everyone. I'm sure teachers are taught to pay attention to the psychological effects they have on children as well. In my case it didn't seem to be anything they're concerned about. Nor the principal when I came to speak with her about it. Instead got an attitude back and they refused to believe it happened the way my son said it did. Safe to say I will no longer have my children attend this school. It's up to you to take any chances.

I have been so impressed with this school from the little details to the big things that matter…read more They are committed to keeping kids safe by only letting those on the approved pick up list show their ID's to pick up kids- IMPERATIVE in today's world. They are on top of informing parents about the status of the events, dates and information we need. They are so good about pumping the kids up for school everyday with fun music playing at the entrance and approved upperclassman opening doors for kids and saying "Have a great day!" Thought this was a 1st day of school thing but it's still going on! And from an educational standpoint I am so impressed. My girls are challenged and aided through every level of their education. They are both in the Honors class called Traditional Academy (not sure why this name when it's for all advanced students in each grade) and they are learning Spanish, moving though subjects and levels faster and I'm always kept informed about what is going to be taught. The principal at this school is incredible and is made for this job. He is kind, fun, caring and involved. He is high giving kids, giving smiles on the corner waving parents into school in the morning and sitting with the kids at lunch. You won't find a better school! Verrado Elementary is IT! I couldn't be happier.

This school has major issues. My daughter was so scared to go to class I couldn't get her go, due…read moreto an ongoing bullying issue with her, her sister, and other classmates. Despite the team at this school seeing and hearing the fear in her voice (she couldn't breath...she was in horror and terrified), they refused to switch her out of the class with a bully. Mind you, this school has kids in sections all day. You are with the same group all day. Instead of switching her out of class, they insisted for a month, that forcing her to go to class would help. After 9 days of my daughter in horror of sitting in class all day with this child, I encouraged her to go (per their request). Day one of returning, this bully would not leave my daughter alone and shoved her. The team there says it never happened. They claimed to review cameras and that this never happened. This happened to other parents, and they refuse to provide evidence for parents to see. Meanwhile I have been able to provide a steady stream of evidence to the school, and they claim it's false. The PD has also shared this school has been made aware of this issue from a handful of parents. I've never heard my daughter cry in such fear before. Since they still refused to switch her out of the class, I brought her in so they can face her so they can say to her face (hyperventilating, crying and in terror) and say to her face that she is "lying". They all said they were "busy" twice while I waited. Not one person in their large leadership team could come out. This school took 30 days of inaction and has accused my child and my family of lying. This experience has been beyond traumatic for our child and our family. I am very disappointed in Great Hearts with how this has been handled. The leadership has been rude and condescending during this whole experience. I am telling everyone I know to avoid Great Hearts. They do not stand by their mission and values. Avoid this school at all costs.

In an effort to protect children and their families I do not recommend this Young Hearts. My son…read moreattended this school for 4 months and it was absolutely awful. He was at one school prior to this one for 3 years. We moved him because of the reputation Great Hearts has. We were also told originally that by attending Young Hearts, you receive priority getting into Great Hearts which we later found out is not true and illegal. I have a long list of issues but the biggest one that I believe families need to be aware of is that there are two teachers that put their hands on children here. I can only speak to our experience with Mrs. Hopple aggressively grabbing and pulling my 3.5 year old on the playground against his will while he pulled away and cried to the point of almost throwing up. I only found out about this when other parents kids went home scared and shared with their parents what had happened who then shared with me. Once I asked my son he shared the same details. I went into the school the next day livid about the lack of safety and care for my child. I was told by Mrs. Rodriguez and Mrs. Campbell that it was investigated, they watched the video footage and what was shared with me was true but they thought it was a "coachable" moment for Mrs. Hopple. Mind you before this even happened, there were multiple incidents I would hear Mrs. Hopple yelling and raising her voice at children and had made complaints about this and was told over and over that she was being "coached." I filed a complaint for negligence with their headquarters and was contacted by the vice president of Young Hearts who was also livid about the situation but said mrs. Rodriguez had made the choice to keep Mrs. Hopple as a teacher already. I pulled my son from this school and can't in good faith not share publicly so other families can make informed decisions. There are two other teachers specifically I have heard not be kind to students and say things like "you are absolutely ridiculous and I shouldn't have to raise my voice at you all" which in my opinion is completely unacceptable when speaking to young children. Kids shouldn't feel threatened or scared of their teachers. Mrs. Macias was the best and the only reason I felt good about bringing my son there for a while but then she quit at the end of May and I knew that was a sign there was no hope there anymore. I know of two children who were unenrolled without notice by Mrs. Rodriguez. I've walked into class and witnessed students sitting in the dark around an iPad watching blippi/YouTube which I think is ironic for a school that pushes no pop culture so significantly. They announced based on parent feedback they are closing earlier and raising prices (no parent would request that, just say that was a leadership decision), and I have countless screenshots + documentation of unprofessional and negligent messages from Young Hearts that I am willing to share. I think leadership there is the worst I've experienced and that impacts the culture of the overall school and lack of care and commitment + why teaching is lacking significantly as well. I understand there's not many options out here for schools but I rather drive more and know my child is safe then go where is close and be anxious everyday about my child's safety and care. I hope sharing our experiences helps protect another family.

I will continue to post how they handled the situation. Which was pushed under the rug. It is tempting to release the audio because its not right to talk to a student that way and to make a parent feel they are making a big out of nothing. I can pick my children up from the spot you put them in, I can tell them they can be anything they put their mind too. As for the principal....what are you and your school? Mediocre?
