I arrived with ONE person waiting. After about 15 minutes of not being helped, that person left to the restroom so I obviously moved to the front of the line. Another woman got behind me after filling out a packet, then the first woman came back and got behind her. There was one receptionist and alot of phone calls and kiddos coming through so I understand she was super busy, but with my receptionist experience you help people who are in your face before you help a phone call. After about 45 minutes of standing there(ONLY needing an enrollment packet) she decides to help the lady behind me FIRST, and then the woman behind her FIRST. I find that extremely ridiculous. Waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a packet to be given to me, and 2 people who were behind me being helped first, as well as multiple phone calls? Horrible. I had high hopes after hearing such good things about this school. Hopefully my child's experience there will be better than mine.

This school is highly NOT recommended…read more The vice principal Scott Elliott is too comfortable with the students, he pushed one of the students on purpose with force and you could tell. Honestly, that student could have got him in trouble for it too. When the vice principal, Scott Elliott, and principal, Patrick Spears, are together, they like to walk up to students and talk about them in front of the students. This has happened to my friend before, which was also in front of me. The office ladies are very rude. They talk with an additude and will say they're busy when they aren't. When they're so-called 'busy', they're talking to the other office ladies. Students are constantly getting in trouble for knocking too many times on the window because of how long the office ladies take to respond. In general, the office ladies are annoying. I can say parents think so as well, because other students say so. So do my parents. The teachers there are really crappy, except for a few and when I say a few, I mean at least one. The P.E. teacher, Mr. Jones, is racist. He is a white unfit old man, he cusses at the students and says the 'n' word. Mrs. Postiff will happily get you in trouble because she will call security, which is also her husband, Mr. Postiff, even if it's over something small. Ms. Bennet, old white math teacher, really loud and annoying, other students and teachers can say the same. You can hear her yelling from classrooms nearby and next to hers. Mr. Postiff, security, will get you in trouble for anything and everything. He once got me in trouble for a small, hand sized mirror and took it away. It really didn't cause any trouble or distraction, and the teacher was okay with my mirror. Another example of getting in trouble for anything and everything is just having anything out in general. If you have a paper out, security will go to question you or watch from afar. Overall, I'm happy I graduated and got out of there. It really sucked and I'm glad I don't have to spend another day at that horrid school. From my experience, I highly do NOT recommended going to this middle school.

At first, I really loved this school for my son. But after he got after-school detention for not…read morehaving p.e. clothes because I didn't receive my check from work yet, I went to pick him up from the after-school detention to find the gates wide open with Zero staff members around. This was around 445 pm. Students are made to stay on campus with no staff around and a wide open campus? But today the student store opened. I only had a $5 bill and so I gave it to him. They wouldn't accept it unless he got 5 items. So you charge $1 to buy stuff but can't break a $5 so he can get a water and rice crispy treat??? That's wrong. What if that's all he was able to spend for the week? What is the policy against taking a $5 bill? Obviously we arent rich and most of the time live paycheck to paycheck. Just let him buy a damn water next time.

Ok, this school isn't great. It's awfully confusing especially if your homeroom teacher is bad.

The only good part is the few opportunities for the future. If you go there have fun. I barely got out of there alive. Just to add a few of the teacher shamed me for being underweight back then so yeah good luck.

My daughter has been in this school district for 4 years now. She attends Old River Elementary, and…read morein these years, I have had no complaints. This is the first time having to come to the actual district office. It looks like their buildings are on two streets. There are plenty of parking and even solar panels in the parking lot! Even if you walk into the main office, the receptionist will tell you where to go, like she did me, because there are different buildings for different services. It can be kind of confusing. Staff was kind, though, and the building I did have to go into for the info on fingerprinting I had to get buzzed into. This whole process was very easy, which I appreciated. My little girl will remain in the Panama-Buena Vista School District for Jr High as well, so I'm hoping my experience will remain as pleasant as it has been for elementary!

Awful is an understatement!…read more I have requested a copy of my students IEP for over a month. I am very well aware this is part of the parents rights to obtain a copy of it for their records. My child is in 7th grade this isn't her first IEP and won't be her last. I have emailed the woman who conducted the meeting Monica H., as well as her teacher who is supposed to be giving her a whole period of extra help AND the principal of Stonecreek. Finally went in person, asked the front desk lady. She wrote my name down I STILL LEFT WITH NO IEP. No IEP still. Maybe not conduct the IEP meetings via zoom? That way the parent can get a copy after the meeting is over? No responses on email from multiple people including the principal who are all employed at Stonecreek nor the woman who represented PBVUSD that led the IEP meeting back in early September. The lack of communication and care is shameful. They have pushed her through grade after grade knowing she has autism and a learning disability. Her teachers have no problem failing her knowing she has this disability. Grades are supposed to be weighted. She turns in all of her work and has 4 Fs in multiple subjects. Clearly she's in classes that are too hard for her. Wouldn't that be a sign to provide this child with more services? Not at Stonecreek or PBVUSD. They are content pushing her through each subject and grade with MINIMAL help.
