As a result, girls unfairly blamed boys for various serious issues, including misunderstandings, leading to automatic expulsions and suspensions. Furthermore, the TCS football team faced a shortage of players. I do not recommend this school for junior and high school boys.

In hindsight, TCS Elementary does not look academically strong. When we left TCS after a number of…read moreyears, we found that our child was behind, especially in math. We went from an A in math at TCS to starting at an F at a public school. Our child was not the only child new to the school, but the only student in class that failed the first two math tests of the school year, because a lot of the material was new. Our student has to work hard to catch up and is saying that while TCS was a nice school, "I am learning much more now", and "I like my new school better". I'm glad we made the change. This review is for those who may be in a similar situation and on the fence. Pros: Nice campus, safe. Mrs. D was the best teacher for us. Cons: Many inexperienced teachers. Limited curriculum in science, math, and history.

The Monkey Bars: Revolutionary and ahead of it's time. A carefully crafter piece of art shaped like a soda can. I used to play Batman on these bars because I was the kid with the Batman cape attached to my glow-in-the-dark Batman shirt. The White Squares: This solitary confinement proved to be the predecessor to modern-day prisons. The tight quarters (2 ft.x2ft. max) and strict silence policy made these squares unbearable. During the hot summer days, it was practically a death sentence. I would willingly take waterboarding over these horrible playground prison cells. Computer Games: Thanks "Oregon Trail" and "Number Munchers" for teaching me dysentery and prime numbers. The teachers rock! Thanks Sonoma Elementary School for all the great years!

We had nothing but good experiences here and highly recommend it. The teachers are very patient with the children, older children help younger children settle into routines, and the school even helps with potty training when the time comes. When our daughter started Kindergarten at the local elementary school, we found she was far beyond her classmates in math. This school prepared her well. Your child will take time to settle into the new environment. It took my oldest nearly six weeks. The school will work with you, so be patient and don't blame the school if your child isn't ready.

This place is a freakinnn' mess…read more After essentially being pushed out just two days in, I was told I'd get a full refund, minus the two days my son was "in school", yeah.. ok. What I got instead was several weeks of back and fourth emails, and a check that was finally recieved via snail mail aka USPS. I thought: "FINALLY", cause... hey, we're talking a little over $1,800. I go to deposit it and lo and behold.. IT'S NOT SIGNED. Yes, seriously, they sent me an unsigned check. From there, I went back to the email thread, going back and forth a million times with accounting and random people who never introduced themselves. An aggressive email from a random staff member named Patricia, who never introduced herself or her role in the whole situation. I didn't receive any phone calls, no apology, no accountability. Weeks go by, and I don't receive another check, so I filed a dispute with my bank after attempting to resolve this for over a month. Guess what? I finally heard back from accounting. They tried to get me to cancel my dispute so that they could issue a check again. I said nope! Thankfully, a week or so later, my bank was able to refund me the entire amount after literally faxing them our email thread and the unsigned check. Please do not bring yourself or your children here. The staff here is unprofessional and incompetent and needs to brush up on their customer service. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

PARENTS BEWARE! PLEASE READ PRIOR TO ENROLLING YOUR CHILD(REN):…read more Prior to enrolling my child here several years ago I did a lot of research on this schools and the districts and found only positive feedback regarding McSwain Elementary. My daughters first years here under a previous staff was beyond amazing! Sadly, within the last couple of years, this school's administrative staff and new principle: Lauren Lanum/Vice Principle: Hector Perez and especially the Superintendent Andrew Kersten have completely lost sight of safety and responsibility for the children who attend this school. My child has experienced both discrimination for medical reasons and had been bullied a total of 8 months within one school year. When dangerous situations occurred and death threats were made upon her life nothing was done to stop it even though adults in charge were notified. My child was told by those in charge to ignore the bullies. My child became so traumatized to the point of wanting to take her own life because of the constant torment. I emailed, called & visited for various administrative help about the dangers and suicidal feelings my daughter was having due to the bullying and no one batted an eye except for the school counselor Vanessa Granados. (Thank goodness for her!) The principle Lauren Lanum could care less. Both she and the superintendent Andrew Kirsten hung my child for a situation they stated they had no malicious proof of. They simply used her as an escape-goat. A Teacher who was supposed to be responsible was never held accountable because thats what the adults do here; they protect one another. The female Coach at this school: Heather Perez allowed bullying and even became involved. Parents over-heard/saw her talking negatively about my child and contacted me to let me know she was involved. When I brought up the comments to the principle she made excuses. This school is like a boys club. If you are a "favorite" you get special attention and privileges. If you are new, bullying is a huge problem. I'm not the only parents child who's been emotionally tortured at McSwain. I'm simply the one who is willing to stand up against bullying and speak my truth and experiences. All other positive posts after mine are simply to throw off the scent of the lies and deception that this school is so wonderful at performing. Guardians Beware!
