Adams School District claims to have the best schools around and I have come to believe it. We have…read morelittle ones going here and they love it. They get up excited to go to school which says much for the teachers and staff. Stuckey has the usual grade school stuff-big yard, playground equipment, etc. and any time I have come to pick kids up after school there is always someone out front ready to pounce on tiny miscreants, aleways reminding the kids to cross at the cross walk. I feel good that someone is keeping an eye on the kids. I realize other schools do thisI want to remark on how appreciated their vigilance is...and how good we feel about this grade school.

This school gets great scores academically. However, it is located in an affluent area with very…read moreinvested parents who raise over-achievers. It would be difficult for a principal not to guide this school to great scores. The two stars are because the intermediate (grades 4-6) underachieves in its behavioral expectations. It's ironic that the school administration prides itself on its great scores but doesn't honor the students who achieve them. Rather, it's the top athletes and popular kids who rule the roost and the bookish, kind children who are pushed aside. Even worse, those who bully are not held accountable by the principal. We've seen multiple instances of this. We know families who have left the school, who have stopped using the bus and who have turned to home schooling because their children were bullied at Bradford and the principal didn't manage the situation to avoid recurrence. If you send your child here, he or she will be well educated. However, there's an excellent chance they will be put down or teased by bullies and you won't get anywhere with the principal to stop it. PS. The primary school (grades 1-3) is the opposite and is good academically as well as behaviorally.

The only thing that upsets me was the fact that I received 22 detentions in my last three years at Slavens. It almost felt as if the teachers were singling me out and attacking me. That's not something you want to hear when talking about middle school teachers. Overall my good experiences outweigh the bad and I highly recommend for any young lad looking for a similar experience.

I'm assuming they're always out at lunch or something. Every time you want to talk to a counselor you always have to leave a message with the receptionist. And by the way that receptionist is extremely rude! I walk up to her desk and she proceeds with "what do you want?". I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. The lunch, the students, the staff, and most of all THE COUNSELORS are unprofessional and unorganized. Please do yourself and your child a favor and send your kid somewhere else.

If zero stars was an option that would be my rating. I can only hope this review is read by parents…read morebefore enrolling children into this center. It is under staffed, unsafe and during my short time I witnessed a dozen licensing violations. The preschool class room has 12 to 15 children at any given time ages 2 1/2 to 4 years with only one adult. Current ratio is 8:1 for children 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 and 9:1 for 4-5. Because of the mixed ages in the class room some children arent potty trained and need to be changed frequently. However, there is no changing table in the room causing the only adult to leave 11 to 14 other children unattended or forcing a child to go hours without proper changing. With little supervision children are getting hurt constantly. The play ground has lose gravel wich is a breeding ground for more injury. I've witnessed several injuries from minor scratchs to concussions, none of which were reported to parents at the time and no incident reports were filed. In addition punishment for the young children is obscene and over zealous considering the mentality and maturity of the children. Kids are threatened with sitting in the office and when taken they do not return to the classroom for anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour. I've had parents tell me that the director yelled at a child and threatened they would not get breakfast if they could not behaive. Since when is a 30 minute time out or withholding meals a reasonable punishment? Last week was a tornado warning for the area, while taking my family to a safe place I called the center to ask if they too were on lock down. Being the center is mostly windows I was concerned for their safety. I was told no, and that the children attending before and aftercare were being picked up. An additional call was then made to the pickup school and we were notified the kids were not being released at their useal time due to the weather advisories. However, the person picking up the kids still went into the school and demanded the children be relaesed into his care. You can imagine the horror I along with the parents were faced with. Lucky the tornado didn't touch down, but if it had, who knows what could have happened. I, along with several other parents have addressed these safety concerns with the director, only to be told it is not something she can fix because she is overwhelmed with other duties. To my knowledge the center as of now, has 3 pending violations with the county and after a call to social services and licensing I'm certain the number will be inflated here shortly. Lastly, becuase the center is understaffed they are struggling to find qualified personal to fill the positions. Most of the "teachers" have NO quilifications, formal education or the state required 3000 hours of experience for early childhood education. You can imagine with no training or proper experience, many of these employees are not equipped to manage children properly in this situation. The teachers are commonly yelling at children and threatening them. When these means aren't productive bribery of candy or ice cream (which isn't actually ever given) becomes the new barging chip. My only suggestion is to put serious research when finding a provider for your child. Walk into the center several times unexpectedly and allow yourself a real view of the environment your child is placed in. A provider should be loving, caring, excited to see your child, he/she should come home with stories to tell and singing songs they've learned. If you son/daughter is crying when being dropped off, please let that be an indication that something is not rite.

The staff at Kinder College have consistently exceeded my expectations over the last almost two…read moreyears, that my son has attended. From his teacher, Ms. Nadia, to the wonderful Ms. Jacci to center director Ms. Malika, the school is the place to have your child attend for preschool. I think it's safe to say that every parents major concern is that your child is safe, cared for, loved and is involved in a program that help them to grow mentally and physically. I recommend this location 100% and with no hesitation. I truly love this location and staff.

So, if I HAD to complain about something inside the school it would be that. They seem to be a little TOO trusting when it comes to who is picking up children. Parking is minimal, the after school pick up is ALWAYS chaotic. Arrive early, secure close parking and you're fine. Drop off is crazy, as well. Mainly because not all the parents follow the rules and think their child is the only one getting dropped off. Mrs. Ortega (the new principal) is stern and fair. I think the communication with parents and faculty could be A LOT better.
