My child has been bullied from kindergarten up to 1st grade. The staff and teachers do nothing…read more I'm not talking about words and name calling I'm talking about bloody messes, scratches, trips to the hospitals, stabs from pencils. The school want to keep a good reputation for school academic only. Trust me when I say that this is all they are worried about. There are a few great teachers though. There is no parking, you have to fend for yourself to try and pick your child without getting a ticket everyday. A parents and child crossing the street were struck by a another parent driving fast. Staff arguing outside about parents not parking in the right place, when the isn't parking for parents at all. It's a disaster.

Turns Right onto Fitzgerald - No Turn Signal. Hmm. It is probably going straight towards Chucky Cheese. Nope. Turns sharply Left towards Lucky's parking lot - No Turn Signal.

Hopefully this church van isn't used to transport parishioners.

SCS truly feels like one big family--parents, teachers, and staff all working together to nurture faith, love, and a strong sense of community. My son is not only learning academically, but also teamwork, kindness, and great manners from his teacher. The principal, Mrs. Hess, is caring, down-to-earth, and always approachable. The office staff are warm, welcoming, and so helpful whenever I need anything. I feel so confident knowing my son is in such great hands at SCS!

I toured this school with thinking I was going to enroll my son here. I attended a lot of events at…read morethis school growing up since my cousins went to school here and this was my home church. Unfortunately, I am extremely disappointed to say that the experience I had wasn't that great. First, when I met with the principal she let me know there was a "waiting list" then later speaking with the secretary she said there was no one on the wait list they just say that. During our visit my son was taken back to a room for an assessment where I wasn't present. I sat in the office area. During the assessment, the teacher asked my son questions like "do you get in trouble at school" and "do you talk a lot in class" and things around his behavior. When prior, during the tour, I was asking the principal questions around safety and what that looked like. I even shared certain challenges like talking in class. The following day, the principal called me to let me know that my son could do a "trial" with the school and see how he does in a month. This, I've never heard of and how is that even possible! It sounded like they were being selective and wanted to see how he would behave before fully accepting him into the school. Just by this, I decided this school wasn't the best fit for him. This school lacks diversity, acceptance of all people and judge. The 2 stars are for adding a park that the school didn't have, kudos for the secretaries kindness and her transparency that the principal hid. My son is thriving at his current school and an A/B student.

The staff is very dedicated and helpful and the communication between the school to the community is constant and consistent. Wardlaw has a systematic team approach to student interventions that made a tremendous impact on children's achievement. My family is truly blessed to be a part of the Wardlaw for the past few years and they have laid the foundation for my children's success with their education.

A great school with a caring staff. The deaf and hard of hearing class is also exceptional.read more

We moved to Vallejo for the diversity but we left to get away from the schools. My child had a…read morehorrible experience. He was bullied and beaten up daily. The school did nothing to support my child and neglected to implement his IEP appropriately. Instead of supporting him in accordance with his IEP they would keep him from his recess to watch old seventies cartoons and even had my third grader in a preschool reading group despite the fact he has been reading since he was two. The incompetent administration even attempted to have us increase his medication rather then address the extreme bullying he was victim to. I had to attend school with my child to protect him for three weeks until we were able to get him into another school. The first day I attended I found my child getting beaten up while another child threw food at his face. There was not an adult in sight! I found the children unsupervised at lunch and recess until I complained. His teacher literally stood in the middle of the class and yelled, "I need help!" She had zero control of the class. She spent all her time with the five third graders who were unable to read while the other children threw paper airplanes. Do not send your child to this school.

Horrific! Don't send your child to this school if you can help it: The faculty attempted to do…read moreeverything from pushing medication to keeping my special needs child in the office during recess instead of addressing the bullying issue.
