The school itself is wonderful although the teacher is not. My daughter had openly told me she dislikes that class and feels discomfort with the teacher. She also mentioned that he had draped himself over her closets friend and she explained her friend felt extremely uncomfortable. I am glad my daughter graduated from that school so she doesn't have to deal with that sort of teacher ever again!

The only notable things about the school are 1) it's one of a handful of schools powered by solar energy, and 2) the assistant principal is Julia Roberts.

Sounds like discrimination still. Way to give opportunity to the lower income or non religious families.yes "ALL ARE WELCOME" to apply. As she said. But not all are welcome the same chances of getting admitted. I'm still saying it's an unfair admission process.

They tend to brush issues under the wrong to keep a good reputation and delete their google reviews…read morefrom parents - including racism While prescott Elementary is often highlighted for awards and ratings, our lived experience tells a very different story. There are significant behavioral issues among students that are not being effectively managed. The lack of classroom control creates constant disruptions and takes away from students who are there to learn. This directly impacts academic progress and the overall learning environment. More concerning, a fifth-grade teacher told an entire class that they would not amount to anything, would not get into college, and were not talented. When this was reported to both the school and the network, it was dismissed and brushed aside. This response--or lack thereof--raises serious concerns about accountability and whether issues are intentionally minimized to protect school ratings. Additionally, morning supervision at Wrightwood Park is inadequate. Staff members are frequently disengaged, chatting among themselves rather than actively supervising students, which raises safety concerns. Finally, during my daughter's transfer out of the school, her personal belongings were mishandled. We were given only one notebook and one pencil. Her glasses, pencil case, and multiple school supplies that we personally purchased were missing and never returned. Families deserve transparency, accountability, and a safe, supportive learning environment. Unfortunately, that was not our experience here.

My daughter has been going there since pre-k. My daughter was going home because she was feeling…read morevery sick with an upset stomach and a dizzy head. The new principle didn't believe that she was feeling sick and made her cry. He gave no heart into her feelings. So was the new vice principle she was just a tad bit nicer. The principle doesn't care about what the kids need. They spend money on a new teachers lounge and catering food for the staff. In the bathrooms the kids need soap, paper towel, toilet paper, and Kleenex. The parents have to provide the items for the children. But the staff get paper towel refills 24/7. The school wastes their money on the dumbest things. The kids don't even have a real jump rope, they have to use broken extension cords tied together. I've seen much better at other schools. We hopefully will be transfering schools.

Meaning when you enter Avondale, its still the same school of the 70's and 80's (well for those who came through their doors) but it does have its newer ventures with computers and really nice wall hangings. Avondale is one of those schools that has character and although you may see a teacher or two from way back when, the majority of teachers here now are younger and just really loving to the kids. Not to take away from the teachers before, no not in the least, but the younger teachers seem to be very no nonsense and very direct. If your in the neighborhood, just stop by and let them know you just want to see how the school has changed, or hasn't. From the outside, you can see the newer parts of the school, but the inside still maintains its integrity.

I am aware Brian Tennison is now Supertindent. In…read moreretrospect, former Principal Brian Tennison was the most neglectful staff ever seen at Lane Tech College Prep. I am an adult who is 40 years old. I know right from wrong. Principal Tennison might have shook every Lane students hands while he was in office, he neglected their needs as far as stress goes. There was no relief, no therapist offered whatsoever. Brian Tennison did not care. Plus, he took away all the parents privileges to volunteer at their Prom. I was devastated at that time. Even though, my youngest daughter was unhappy about me not going to her prom. I would have been very happy without dancing and prom dinner. I rather be in the same ballroom with both my daughters' prom instead of dinner and dancing. We survived without it. I do not know who changed the prom volunteer policy. Hence I am very sad at Brian Tennison. Dr. Christopher Dignam was a very very excellent principal. Dr. Dignam allowed parents to participate as prom volunteers. You rock Dr. Christopher Dignam!!!!!! Does anyone have a say about the parents, prom and Dr. Chris Dignam?
