He goes above and beyond his capability to make your child succeed and i am very thankful for him. However the front desk workers are terrible.

Am giving this school 5 star because of Mr. Salazar otherwise poor communication and luck of understanding a parent in front office...

The environment is so conducive to learning. I feel she is so protected. The class of students who attend are completely different than most public schools. Only bad thing is it's hard to get in.

I couldn't be happier with our experience at Franklin. I'm so glad my kids got in, and every teacher they have had has been outstanding. Sad to read the entry of the student who was bullied. But luckily we are in a class with amazing parents, supportive staff, and amazing kids. They have music, gardening, and amazing after school opportunities. Their PTA is the BEST PTA I've ever been a part of. (and I've worked at many schools) Franklin rocks.

Something needs to be said about Glen Oaks Elementary School…read more.. To all the staff helping with pickup -- the teachers, aides, cone crew -- please chill out a bit. This is an elementary school, not a prison yard. The energy out there feels tense for no reason. There's a lot of yelling, finger-pointing, and attitude. Kids are small. Parents are just trying to pick them up. It doesn't need to feel so aggressive every day. A smile goes a long way. A calm tone goes a long way. Instead of acting like wardens, try creating a space that actually feels safe and welcoming for the kids. And this isn't just about pickup -- it feels like a bigger issue with how some staff carry themselves. Having a degree or a position doesn't mean people owe you anything. Respect goes both ways. Hopefully the principal takes a look at this and reminds the team: lead with patience, not pressure. These are children. The environment should reflect that. This is an everyday occurrence and a sad experience

AVOID THIS SCHOOL AT ALL COSTS if you care for your child's safety. The principal only cares about…read morethe $68 they get for every student and she will literally remind parents of it during every assembly. If you complain about anything, the principal will hide from you and avoid you. The nurse, Lina Isaghoulian, will alter documents months after the incident showing she is not properly completing incident reports. She will even hand the parent a blank document. They even have broken the Browns Act. They dont care about transparency with parents. They are manipulators. If you care for your child's safety, keep your kids away from this school until the principal Christine Aroyan, and the nurse Lina Isaghoulian are removed. They need to stop the corruption and agenda pushing in this school and in the district.

Most importantly they start their days with prayer, so they take into consideration the spiritual growth of the kids as well. This is my daughter's second year in this school, she's in first grade. My son will start next year in kindergarten. There had never been a day that I've regretted my decision, on the contrary, as day passes I'm totally convinced that this was by far the best choice. If God allows it, they will attend this school all the way to twelve grade.

Both my children attended this school and I regret my decision of enrolling them here to this day. They suffered verbal abuse by particular teachers (and most staff including support staff) at this school. As soon as they left this school both my kids excelled in school and their teachers had nothing but praise for both their behavior as well as academics. They earned 2s at this school and were not once selected as gate or honor students, they never once were praised or awarded for being kind, respectful, and hard-working. At their new school, they immediately became honor roll students and identified as gifted. Sad that this school staff never once praised my children in any shape or form but instead chose to ridicule and mock them. One of the teachers kicked my child who was a third grader at the time, had her outside the classroom for half an hour then sent her to a first grade class for not doing her math homework in Armenian that was the same exact math and problems as the math in her English. Extremely sad that this school's staff practice favoritism and they don't have a clue about what teaching children is all about.

The school staff does not respond properly to serious problems -- the loss or damage of personal items is often ignored, and refunds or refunds for items cannot be obtained. Teachers behave rudely, do not show respect to students and do not try to create a comfortable learning environment. In general, it's hard to be here, and the level of organization leaves much to be desired.

I snitched, and they did exactly what they said. They knocked me to the ground and I fainted. I wish the staff would not have the stupidity of a 2-year-old and actually find bullies around campus. I saw those same kids bully this nerd. (No offense). The nerd also got pounded to the floor. He tried to fight back but they grabbed him by the wrist and twisted it. I know how High Schools are and why the kids have to go through this, but I did not know they were this bad. Overall don't take your kid to High School unless he/she is under supervision. Make sure the staff understand this. I hope this message finds you well and you know about the violence caused in these schools. Make a difference.

First off, this school goes off of PTA kids only. Favoritism by staff and teachers is over the top…read morehorrendous, you could be top in the class but the teacher would still deny you yet if you are a PTA kid you are always to be considered the most favorite student in the whole school. Next, literally all the well known teachers get denied by staff, but the same new teachers get Teacher of the year. Staff members are also pretty rude, as like the nurse. You say one thing wrong she gets insanely mad, my leg was bleeding during the start of the year and I accidentally told the nurse one of the options and she yelled at me for lying. Overall, this school is mid after the class of 2017.
