I literally dread going in there to get my child early for therapy. It's one of the main reasons we are switching to a different school new year. The principal also called me to ask about absences. Of course when my child is sick they don't go to school. However the principal said oh they can still come they just have to wear a mask. Hmmmm maybe if people kept the kids home when they were sick so maybe kids wouldn't be out sick.

Because it is such a small student body the teacher, admin and student relationship is a very strong one. The teachers do their best to make sure the students learn the material and most importantly that they understand the material. The teachers are there not just for educational presupposes but they really do care about their student and want to see them succeed, they are willing to stay after class and talk to a student about anything they need help with whether that be a school thing or not, they are there to make sure that their students are in the right mind set to keep in the right track for them to succeed. Their building is not built to be a school but some how they have made accommodation and made some what functional for it to be a school. The first thing you see when you walk in is their classroom that is the heart of the school. To your left is the main office and to your right is the hallway into the school. The hallways are a little small for the size of their student body. The over view of the school is too small buildings with orange an blue floors. When you first walk in to the building it has a very unique smell because every classroom has their own smell. This is because almost every teacher has their own classroom. For example two tears ago a teacher there had a glade plug in that smelled like a man colon. Then the hallway started to smell like that and over time it started to clash with other scents which gives the whole school its own scent. My only complaint about this school is their lunch food. They don't make the lunch food there, they have someone cater. Something are really good, the flavors are amazing for example, they used to have a chicken tostada salad that was amazing. The tostada was nice and chunky, and the beans had just the right amount of salt and the chicken was well made. But then they have lunch like their spaghetti and meat sauce. That was one of the lunches I could not stand when i was at this school. The pasta and the meat sauce had no flavor to it. It tasted as if it had no salt or any kind of flavor in it. Other than just this complaint , they are a great school. If you are looking for a school that holds their students to a high standard and is going to help them have a bright future please check this school out they will not disappoint.

Teacher did not reached out to me knowing she was falling way behind in class and did not offered to give my child the opportunity to makeup missing assignments. Instead she and the coordinator were so focused on having a meeting days before the school is over so they can write a report that we had a meeting as a formality. My child also experienced discrimination from the teacher. The teacher allowed other children to celebrate their birthdays in class and she refused to give my child the same opportunity. Mrs kovas said I can bring lunch if I liked and she can have lunch with the parents. For back to school night she did not once acknowledged me at all or greet me there was only one parent left and a child. I let the coordinator know about my concerns as a parent and she completely ignored my concerns and blamed it on my child , where I was also receiving the same lack of support from the teacher like my child. Teacher wrote false information in her reports in regards to even school supplies. My child was not given a book for math homework and the teacher lied and said that the office also gave my child a math book when I personally asked the office staff about the book and they had no idea why my child did not received a math book. Mrs kovcs gave no support and caused me extreme stress. I never been treated this way by anyone in my life. Some people should not teach.

I'd like to share my experience from the 2020-2021 school year at Calahan Elementary when my…read moredaughter was in kindergarten with Leslie Levine. While Ms. Levine presents herself as friendly, and I'm sure she's a good person outside the classroom, I feel strongly that her behavior toward young children is not appropriate for a teaching role, especially at the kindergarten level. In our time there, I observed several concerning patterns: * She frequently belittled and humiliated students in front of others. * She singled out certain children, showing clear favoritism. * She would call kids out harshly for mistakes rather than redirecting or guiding them with care. * She lacked patience for age-appropriate behavior, responding with audible sighs or annoyed grunts. * When a child struggled or acted out (as kindergartners often do), she offered little support or redirection, often just frustration. It was heartbreaking to witness, and it deeply affected my daughter's early learning experience. We eventually made the decision to switch schools for her well-being. I don't know what the school environment is like now, but I feel it's important to speak up so other parents can make an informed choice. In my view, Ms. Levine may be better suited to a role that doesn't involve direct work with young children, perhaps in a support or administrative position. This review isn't meant to be hurtful, but honest. I wish someone had shared this with me before we went through it. It was very upsetting for me to expierence this and you really never know what is really going on behind closed doors. I did try to address these concerns directly. I spoke with Ms. Levine during the school year. While she did apologize, it felt more like a formality, nothing changed in her behavior afterward, and the issues continued. There was also a teacher's assistant in the class who started out incredibly kind and gentle with the children. Unfortunately, toward the end of the year, I noticed that even she began to reflect some of Ms. Levine's behavior. It's heartbreaking to see how this kind of environment can influence others. I truly wish more teacher's assistants would feel empowered to speak up when they see things that don't sit right, especially when it involves young children.
