PTA, staff or principal has some sort of scam going on. They raise tens of thousands in fundraisers…read moreat the beginning of the school year. Their fundraisers promise field trips, supplies, additional activities, etc. Then it gets spent on a P.E coach for the students for the school year. I am a little confused because P.E is supposed to be ran by the staff of teachers. Does this mean Imperial teachers don't want to conduct P.E for their students? They would rather spend public donated funds (at least $30K BTW) so they don't have to teach P.E? Other elementary schools I have worked at have teachers collaborate on a P.E curriculum for their students. It is ridiculous to spend that much money on a resource Imperial teachers should be supplying, than have a school look as old and run down as it does. The playground is peeling, old, broken and sad looking. There are no covered walkways for students to walk to the outdoor benches for lunch. Which means during cold, rainy days when they eat outdoors, their food is soaked by the time they get to the benches. There is NO indoor cafeteria and no auditorium for student ceremonies, performances, etc. For an affluent area to be capable of providing at least some basic school amenities like an auditorium or indoor cafeteria (at least a covered pathway) through fundraisers, why is this not happening? Underprivileged areas are much nicer looking and provide true additional activities for their students without asking for additional donations aside from the hundreds already donated... apparently for P.E coaches. Did I mention that parents are still asked throughout the school year to donate even more money for field trips and classroom supplies? This is an addition to the hundreds we have already donated for their main fundraisers and additional "eat at such and such place these days for even more donations!" I am tapped out. I do not want to pay for a P.E coach because the teaching staff is either lazy or privileged. If it is a staffing issue, then take it to the OUSD district and get them to subsidize most of it, if not ALL of it. Or collaborate and do it yourselves. Other elementary schools do. Why do we need to pay over $30k so Imperial teachers don't? Use that money to actually go towards the students. Not hide behind student use, but really its so teachers don't have to teach an hour of P.E, twice a week. There is no excuse to have raised over $100k since my child has began attending Imperial and have such a worn down playground, no covered walkway to their outdoor "cafeteria", and no actual auditorium for school events. Imperial uses their library space as a small, area for ceremonies and events. It feels like I am attending someones last minute thrown together bible study where you sit wherever you can find a plastic chair or stand against a wall or bookshelf. So tacky. And THIS is an Anaheim Hills Elementary school everybody! PTA, Principal, and staff should be investigated. Do better for your schools OUSD.

Game volunteers/parents assisting with the snack bar and ticket takers were extremely welcoming and friendly. The bleachers were very comfortable and provided a great view of the court. The only negative issue we experienced was the temperature change: one minute it was chilly, the next, extremely warm. Spectators could feel these changes instantly as the heat and cold came from these huge black, vinyl/rubber, tubular-like thingys. Other than this, our visit was a positive experience, and our school's win made things that much better.

Do not bring your kids to this school, they do not prepare students for success…read more From the time my children entered 9th grade, I asked the counselors how to prepare them for the IB program because I wanted them to have the best chance at getting into a good college. Since I didn't study in the U.S., I depended on the school's guidance. Instead, I was misled. When I first asked, the counselor told me to wait a year. By the next year, I was told it was already too late. Later, they told me that the ACT wasn't required, which is technically true for some colleges but if you want your child to have a real chance at highly selective or Ivy League-type schools, strong ACT/SAT scores are still very important. That guidance was never made clear. Meanwhile, both of my kids have 4.0 GPAs here, but when it came time for standardized testing, they were completely unprepared. My senior son tested very low in math, English, and reading. After paying for outside tutoring, his English scores improved, but in math he is still struggling because he doesn't even have a solid foundation in algebra. That should have been addressed long before his senior year, yet the school failed to provide the preparation he needed. Now I am spending a lot of money on private tutoring and outside academies just to make sure my children have a chance. For my daughter, I am already relying on an external program because I know I cannot depend on this school or its counselors to prepare her. Bottom line: if you want your children to be prepared for college admissions, especially competitive ones, do not rely on this school. The lack of proper guidance and academic foundation has been extremely frustrating and costly.

The kids wear uniforms which are very reasonably priced and cuts distractions substantially at the school. We were paying for private school the first 6 years of elementary school and found the curriculum hear to be significantly better.. and no tuition!

Yup... after school pickup has the same idiot parents as all the other schools. Taking advantage of the homework club or math club after school definitely makes picking up a much more bearable task.
