They need to dress more appropriately for teachers as they are setting a bad example. Also why odd they need to wear stilettos? Weird and uncomfortable not to mention how you going to run after the stragglers and kids that don't listen. Two stars minus due to the children have to eat outdoors with the cold/hot weather and bugs. No indoor cafeteria really strange. Second star is due to pick up rules...can't pick up at main gate need to park illegally and walk over, not safe. They lock the gate! Strange system.

My child experienced relentless bullying while attending this school, and it had a devastating impact on her mental health. When she reached out to the principal and counselors for help, she was dismissed instead of supported. No child should ever be felt this way under any circumstance but maybe that's just what I think for all I know. The academics were just as disappointing. Instead of providing engaging instruction, many classes consisted of students watching YouTube videos that still left all the kids confused. My child left this school feeling unprepared academically and emotionally. The trauma my daughter experienced here is something our family is still dealing with. She is now in middle school, and she has repeatedly said she would never want anyone else to go through what she experienced at this school. Based on our experience, I strongly urge parents to look elsewhere. No school is perfect, but this was indeed the worst experience our family has ever had. Please do your research before enrolling your child I would not recommend this school to anyone.

I am writing this review on behalf of my Grandsons and my family…read more My daughter attended this school back in 1996- 1999. She is now raising her own kids, and I have the pleasure in assisting her. From the day my first Grandson, was in Transitional Kindergarten, to present, has been a positive experience. He is now 3rd grade. He has had the fortune to have had Mrs. Faye, Mrs. Hansen, Mrs. Rain, (sp) Mrs Esquival, and now Mrs. Skeens. I have only positive things to say about this Murrieta school. My second Grandson, has Mrs. Airebear. Every body loves Mrs. Airebear!!! Especially my Grandson! I would especially like to Thank Leslie and Jaqui in the office for every single time we walk through their doors. They are helpful and very professional in all they do for our kids. Whether I call them on the phone, or present myself in person, great staff in the office holding this school together! Last but not least, I haven't met him in person, but, I have watched this man from the drive up lanes, from the parking lot, walking through the halls, at award ceremonies, flag days, jogathons, picking up and dropping off day to day, and he just stuns the life out of me. He is genuine and sincere about keeping our kids safe. He is Alta's Principal. Mr. Cooley, I hope I spelled your name correctly. You rock! My Grandsons and my family, say Thank You, for keeping them safe. Greatest school in Murrieta! You will not be disappointed. I am shocked that more parents have not reviewed this school. After all, our children spend over half their lives here. 20 million stars for ALTA Murrieta Elementary!

Ms. Caldwell and Mr. Coley have always gone above and beyond, with all the students they see on a daily basis they somehow manage to personally greet my kiddo and the fact that they are so invested in the kids here really shows.

It is literally the nicest school staff you could imagine in too many ways to count. From the beautiful and inspirational Principal to the assorted parent volunteers, the PTA and the sweet custodians, these four years we've spent at this school have spoiled us and if we were considering a move at any point before 5th grade graduation, it would be a deal breaker if we had to leave this school. Seriously.

Dorothy McElhinney Middle School offers a strong educational environment overall, and our…read moreexperience has been mostly positive. The campus is clean, organized, and feels safe, and many of the teachers are truly dedicated to supporting students. My child has had some great classroom experiences and has grown academically thanks to several caring, engaged educators. However, not all interactions have been consistent. While most teachers have been wonderful, there have been a couple who were less supportive or less communicative, which created some challenges. It didn't define the entire experience, but it's worth noting since it affected our child's year at times. Communication from administration is generally clear and responsive, and the school offers a solid range of electives and extracurriculars. The culture is positive, and students seem encouraged to push themselves and get involved.

The first one was when I was in kindergarten, literally everyone was going behind the building, so I followed as a 5 year old child. The aide at the time yelled at only certain people and told us to put our clips down to red. In kindergarten, this is a big deal. Another incident I can recall was in 3rd grade at the library. I didn't know books at the time had built in bookmarks and I politely asked for the librarian to cut it off because I thought someone placed it there. She says to me rudely, "No!" and gave me a nasty look as she walked away. My brother also got bullied here for a while and they barely did anything. Other than those incidents and some more minor ones, school here was pretty fun and nice. Though, I heard one of the teachers here was a pedophile.

Just so they don't have to help those students who are in need. All the while they put on the front of being caring staff. They fail time and time again to provide the 504 plans for students in a timely manner even with a doctors note stating the student needs to be on the plan. They violate HIPAA laws and the privacy of these students. Don't even get me started on the Joke they call a principal. They lie and discriminate against those students protected by the ADA act. They're quick to call CPS on parents of the disabled because they aren't equipped with the right training to teach behavioral skills to those who need it. Non Verbal children cannot communicate their needs through oral communication. Negligence runs high in their walls. they've even "misplaced" and lost children who are elopers. When they should have had a one on one AID with them the whole time! DO NOT send your children to Ysabel Barnet if they are disabled. Your children will suffer for it! The district is of zero help too!
