Parents faced over 100° heat, missing teacher signs, absent staff in classrooms, and long lines with only a few helpers outside. The air-conditioned cafeteria and library were not used to help parents. Only three or four helpers were outside with laptops trying to manage huge lines. No teacher signs or staff in classrooms to guide children. Temperatures were over 100° while families stood outside. This is awful !

Weather report stated excessive heat warnings and triple-digit temperatures. What was even more sad was there didn't seem to be a back-up plan in place. C'mon, you had to have known and/or checked the weather forecast that there was going to be extremely, sever hot weather... Or, here's a future suggestion , I am pretty sure maybe the PTA had funds or the school could have used emergency funds to purchase canopies and have provided water at least to the graduating students. OR..., An all out emergency text could have been sent to all parents stating "Bring your own canopy, water and/or ice etc. Some consideration for older people and younger children regarding this heat should have been taken. This is horrible!! Worst graduation experience EVER!! Many didn't even enjoy the ceremony because everyone all around were continuously complaining about the poor planning by the school. Shame on you Elkhorn Village Elementary School in West Sacramento, California.

We were able to stay for a full 8 days before taking our child out of this school! STAY AWAY FROM…read moreTHIS SCHOOL!!! I will begin with stating that our child was 6 years old in 2nd grade, which is young. He started a new school and we were getting a phone call every single day. EVERY SINGLE DAY. He is not that bad as he has had perfect days in his new school. We had already told them that he would need a transition time adjust to this new school and older schoolmates. The story begins..... The principal, Kelvin Jackson, told our child to "Shut up and come with me." after a particularly tough day at school. He did sent us an apology letter. As his father, I could accept that, but we knew that this wasn't the school for him to grow in faith or academically. We did pay over $600+ for him to be in school for a whole 8 days. We spoke with the on-site superintendent, Jason Yarbrough, (the only other review for the school, see below) after initially getting blown off by him the week before. He stated that we HAVE TO PAY $65 FOR AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE!!! We respectfully let him know that we had pulled him out from the principals actions, but that didn't matter as he continuously pointed out the behavior of our child and justify his principal. Of course we are going above and beyond to let parents know and are getting in contact with the school board. Charles

Let me first say that nobody is as cautious as me when it comes to deciding what school I was going…read moreto put my son in to begin his school life. I am so happy I picked Natomas Christian School (NCS). Prior to my son starting school in August-2015 my beautiful wife and mother to my son died from cancer in January-2015. Needless to say we were still deep in our grief. I was faced with having to decide on the best school for my son that would understand the emotional trauma he was in and would work with me to make his transition as smooth as it could be under the circumstances. I looked at both public school and private schools. I quickly knew public school was not an option. My son needed a school that shared the same Christian beliefs as me, promoted prayer in school, did not use the Common Core curriculum, was affordable, had extended care, had a summer program and had small class sizes. NCS met my expectations to the letter. My son's kindergarten teacher (Mrs. Flowers) was the perfect teacher. She had a background in Psychology and was an experienced teacher. My son's transition was rough in the beginning but his teacher and school prayed for him and worked with him. In time he adjusted fine and was reading by Christmas! He is also good at double digit math and his overall confidence level has improved tremendously. I highly recommend NCS to anyone looking for a new school with small class sizes who view educating kids in the way it should be done. The staff and teachers are top notch and I'm very happy with where my son is emotionally, spiritually and academically. God Bless NCS!!
