Went to school here in 06-09 (7th and 8th). Hated the math teacher who took over my other teacher…read morewhile on maternity leave! She was mean, insensitive, had ego issues and the worst! Even my brother didn't like her when he was forced to have her because she was impatient with him even though he's autistic and always behaved in her class. She was impatient and hostile with me if I was ever wrong on a math problem (and I'm talking if I made a typo error or multiplied wrong just a quick fix) when I'm great at math and always made it a point to behave. Whenever I needed to stand up against bullies she was mean and told me to "ignore them" but ignoring DOESNT WORK! Maybe it works for her oh wait it didn't not when that same bully called her the very name that describes her accurately (the b word). Hypocrite! You should've ignored him? Yeah what good did that do? Did you ignore him when he called you that? Exactly! Idk if she's still working there but I'm glad I don't have to see her anymore! I'm so glad my mom put you in your place and threatened to report you to the superintendent if you didn't change your behavior with me because the way you behaved was like that of a bully, it was senseless, counterproductive and disgusting. I always behaved myself in your class but you showed the same animosity to me and students who behaved themselves better as you did to the bad kids. I'm not dismissing the fact that we had bad students in class, I hated being with them too but you didn't need to get your anger out on the good kids. I'd say drop that stupid ego of yours and stop mistreating your students! And to some of the rude office staff including this tall African American woman who always came in either a frown and spoke nastily to me, I hope you know that your sins will find you out for carrying this attitude and ego of not wanting to help others. I learned you weren't just this rude with us students but were the same way with parents! You disgust me! I'm sure my mom put you in your place at one point because my mom doesn't take crap from anyone not even you!

Our child did worse here and then EGCS illegally and forcefully dismissed our child from this school. Ca Ed code states "A charter school shall not encourage a pupil currently attending the charter school to disenroll from the charter school or transfer to another school for any reason except for suspension or expulsion".

The school refuses to acknowledge any responsibility or financial obligation to protect students belongings. This is, in a word, BULLSHIT. Further, my attempt to find a principals or vice principals number to make a simple complaint to, failed. There is no number to call to reach any administration or staff. Zero number. Nothing. No number to suggest anything....which is what i wanted to do. Cameras? Security? Seems obvious to me. Way to go, elk grove high!
