My son has been attending a charter school for a year, it is one of the top ten STEM (science,…read moretechnology, engineering, math) schools. The children there are laughing and playing in the schoolyard in the morning, they greet parents, do running club, or go to the library. The children there are taught character, and a foreign language starting in kindergarten. I'm amazed at my son's progress and the stark difference in his educational environment. Kids are allowed freedom to learn in a fun atmosphere and it shows in their demeanor.

I…read morehad went here all my life because my past family had also, the years of kinder-3rd were great, except for covid and other stuff. But when i got into 4th, they had gotten a new principle. The old one was kind, completely understanding. But the new one, had never cared about students or their mental health, i had a friend, who was problematic because of her mental health, yet they didn't try helping her. And because of her mental health issues and trama, she had done things i wish she hadn't done with me and my friends, so we started getting in trouble, yet the principal DIDNT HELP ANY OF US. So i moved schools for 5th, and it was the best decision i had made :) now i'm in middle school and doing my best!

There are good point to Oak Park such as the music classes and the after school program. I personally appreciate Prime Times efforts to keep the kids safe after school. Though I did not attend Oak Park I have been to the school many times for relatives. I like it but as I said before their are pros and cons as there are in most areas of life.

I have nothing but great things to say about this school. 13 years ago I stumbled upon this hidden…read moregem. And Instantly, fell in love with this small and quaint elementary school. Johnson Elementary is a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) school in the Emerald Hills neighborhood for the San Diego School District. All three of our children attended school here and were very happy, the teaching staff are exceptionally supportive at nurturing and developing the children's academic skills. Within these walls, students are challenged academically and socially. The academic curriculum is rigorous and engaging. However, the more important strength of the school is the way they teach the students to be people of character. I love that! Here are a few notable teachers and staff that have done an amazing job in helping teach our kids: Mrs. Randall, Mrs. Katona, Mrs. Ramirez, Mr. Naughton, Mr. Hickenbottom, Mrs. Faudoa, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Hermann, Mrs. Hernandez, Mrs. Jackie, Mrs. Uniz and Dr. Jenkins Martin! Sadly, my son graduated 5th grade this week! It's definitely bittersweet. But we're excited to see what the future holds. Johnson is truly a remarkable place. Anyone looking for a good school should definitely enroll their child here- you won't be disappointed!

But when the old principal Ms. Flabia was there she would throw a festival and would make school spirit alive. He's so lazy! Also one person there is Ms. Venture an old lady who's always grumpy and yelling at kids for no reason. Shes a horrible woman and my child was scared of coming cause of her. Other staff include Ms. Gonzalez who my child told me how when she was in 1st Ms. Gonzalez grabbed her my her arm and yelled at her and put her in another class because my child didn't finish her drawing... My child was crying the whole day and now that shes in high school she told me about it. Another woman there is Ms. Hagler who doesn't teach well! These women act so nice in front of parents but once they leave they are horrible to kids. Yelling and screaming at them.

The best teachers have left leaving only a few good ones. The new principal ms Ochoa is a bigger downgrade. Everything another review mentions is all true then some. Spoke to a few parents who feel the exact same for her. Educational wise, nothing to write home about. Standards keep lowering to accommodate instead of pushing the kids to learn more. Not much of a steam academy any more. Lacking severely on field trips. If you have a choice, choose a different school!

He does not take action in situations like fights,language etc. Although the new principal, Mrs.Ochoa enforces more rules she still isn't the best choice. Students need principals like Mr.Coordt. He was a previous provable at our school. He was what really made students exceed in academics. He would play football,basketball,four square and even wall ball with students. He is what made change in this school, and I think every principal should take his examples and use them for themselves. Such as, letting students play baseball. Mrs.Ochoa banned the privilege to play baseball because "there's too many injuries." In my opinion I think if the kids can't play baseball then they should not play soccer. I think this because if there's injuries in baseball then there needs to be fair action. Because three people were wheel chaired of because of injuries. They also banned hot chips! I think this is going to far. Students should have fun in school. Not skipping because staff and other students. I do also think that there is only about three teachers all students respect. Such as, Mr.Moran,Mr.Luna, and Mr.Josh. Overall I think bayside isn't the right fit for all kids!

When we registered with the district, we were in a zone located directly in the middle of two schools. At first thought, we believed the bigger school was the best option for our child. We were pleasantly wrong. Parkview staff has been excellent. I'd like to thank the principal, Ms Valdivia, and teacher Ms. Stanek. You both are amazing. Our family is forever appreciative for you. The front office, the nurse, the teachers, everyone is amazing. Thank you for all you do. This school has a small town feel. Every staff knows every student. Thank you all for being such professionals, and being so influential in our child's life.
