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.

We attended summer camp here. This review is basically on the location and not it's staff or…read moreadministration. The location is old. It's been here as long as I can remember. It's located next to a park that was known for gang banging and by the looks of it, it probably hasn't changed much. I bring this up, because the school has also been tagged with what appears to be gang related graffiti. The parking lot is horrendous! Let's just say I'm glad my kids don't go here on a regular basis. It's a drive up/pick up parking. People have the tendency to double park anywhere and sometimes leave their cars which causes mass chaos. Also, the fence to the parking lot is also attached to gate that and entrance to the pedestrians/students. It appears that they do not open the gate completely, therefore the children must enter up the driveway. It makes no sense to endanger the children when they can simply slide the gate open completely which would allow the children to use the gate appropriately. Instead the children must walk though the the congested car exit. It's an accident waiting to happen. I give this location 1 star for the lack of thoughtfulness if the safety of the children.

We appreciate the structured curriculum and thoughtful lesson plans that challenged him and helped him build a strong academic foundation.

It was the right decision, because we have seen her grow so much from her time at scholars. The teachers really pour their heart into nurturing and caring for the kids. She comes home with amazing art work, work sheets and tells us about all the new things she learns every week. They organize a lot of events where parents get a chance to connect with teachers and other parents. The annual spring and winter concerts are very well organized and it's rewarding to see the community come together. Overall it's been a very fulfilling experience and we're glad we found scholars ! They encourage outdoor playtime and also hone kids' personal preferences as well. Their reports are also very detailed and specific for each kid. They have also started meal service which is a huge relief for busy parents. I cannot wait to send my younger daughter to scholars once she's ready.

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!
