    Yeah... you can say I was a tomboy…read more Scraped knees, monkey bars, steal-the-bacon, kicking everyone's ass in tetherball and 4-square (or for those who were good enough, 2-square) are just a few fond memories of the place I spent the majority of my childhood. Kindergarten brings back memories of playing "house", growing silk worms, show-and-tell, nap-time, and mourning the class pet chick's unfortunate death when the tower of blocks came crashing down upon it. Mrs. Messemmer, my teacher, was a kind hearted lady, with curly gold locks and a warm smile. Funny how after all these years I still remember her name. Fast forward to my last year of elementary. 5th grade was taught by a younger teacher named Mr. Green. One of the girls in my class had the hugest school-girl crush on him, it was so obvious and pretty funny. My best friend and I were the teacher's pet of the class, which was cool because he let us get away with a lot of things, like coming in late from lunch, etc. Haha. Overall, it was a happy time for me. It was conveniently located near a McDonalds, Welch Park, and now that I realize it, it was right next to Long Phung Sandwiches (I love their eggrolls!) Assuming they were in business for that long. I'd give it 5 stars, but over the years the area has become sketchy. Back then, in the good ol' days, when everything was innocent and safe, this was a great school to go to.

    Very bad school, I was bullied a lot just for being quiet and finally speaking about it now I only…read morewent for 6th grade and graduated (Thank god). The school should more on the issue of bullied students, my brother went here for Pre-K-6th and he experienced bullying, because he was special ed. I'm so glad I left that school.

    Christmas in the Park with Rocketship Mosaic Elementary!! Scavenger Night!! How does Jake get to…read morebe so lucky to be a rocketeer?!! This school is the best! Not just academically but also when it comes to kindness, love, care, and character building for all the children modeled by teachers and staff. Even though it is not a religious school, I feel there are more love and compassion in this school more than any other religious place I've been to. Everyone, the principle, teachers, staff, students, fellow parents, all are so caring and making every member of the school feel so special and loved. Children need love! I feel so good dropping Jake's off each day at school and he loves going to school so much! Alexander keeps saying how come Jake's school is so cool and all Jake's teachers love him so much!! They also organize a lot of cool events. They want the children to be well rounded. The school relies heavily on staff and parent volunteers since it does not have much funding and it serves mostly low income students. Yet everyone serves with all their heart !! Still contemplating on moving Alexander over to Jake's school. ROMO with all our hearts!!

    I want to write this review to help all the new parents. As myself, it's really hard to find a good…read moreschool for my kids because we don't have any experience before. I think we got lucky to get into this school and so far we love it. The school is small and don't have much parking but the school create and organize really smart and convenient way for parents to drop off and pick up the kids. All the teachers are really nice and friendly. I get my answer back whenever I have concerns about my kid (through texts messages and in person). My kids are happy and improved everyday I can tell. I am proud and happy that my children are in a good environment and being successful.

    At linda vista, my son had an incident where another student smacked him bottom and kissed him on…read morethe shoulder. I wasn't aware until my son told me. I didn't receive a call from the teacher/school about it. Grandpa went down to the school to speak to the principal but she was busy, so he spoke to the teacher and she said she was only aware of the student kissing my son on his shoulder. I was upset that they did not tell me. I didn't get a phone call back from the principal until I called the district, she called about an hour or 2 later. (2 days later). I told the principal my son is uncomfortable and to move him classes and she told me now. I went down to the district and they said they would call me within 24 hours. It's been a little over 2 days now. No one has returns my voicemail since they don't answer their phone.

    Meyer Elementary school, this staff name Ms. Santana questioned my daughter about what my child was…read moretelling me when I picked her up from school (Ms. Santana had called my daughters attention earlier that day for no reason and had left my child without recess making her sit down at a bench). The next day Ms. Santana questioned my daughter about what she had told me regarding what had happened (leaving her without recess and accusing her of pushing another gril) she involved Ms. Lopez (lunch lady) the lunch lady got mad at my daughter and grabbed my daughter by her wrist leaving two small bruises. I noticed the bruises the next day in the morning and went straight to the principal (Dr. Carilo) I told her everything that was going on she couldn't believe it and told me she would investigate and call me later. That same day Dr. Carillo questioned my daughter about the situation the principal intimidated my daughter and made her cry and told her she's the one coming to school she needs to fix her own problems and not involve the parents!!! I went straight to the cops and of course had to let the district know too! The principal and staff changed the story and stated my daughter got the bruising from the monkey bars which she doesn't play that and also stated that one of my daughters friends pushed her and made the bruises, and when the cops asked for the videos from the school cameras they stated the cameras didn't capture the location of where the incident happened. The case was dropped!
