What could improve Yelp ask? Everything!!!…read more I've worked for this district for over 10 years! Until today!!! I was a very good employee, good reviews and very good with students! At the end of that very toxic one sided work relationship I was denied a formal complaint, un heard, or cared about against a mentally and emotionally abusive teacher (Theresa Bradley) on a daily basis! There isn't an answer, well a logical answer for why she treated me that way but she did! Ive also reported abuse towards students from a IF in her class and got shut down and denied! I I would never and do never suggest or recommend people from applying and will continue to warn any and everyone that will and would ask! They don't care! They don't care about their employees, They don't care about our student! They just don't care about anything other than $! They have some of the most AWESOME teachers, Paras, Admins and campus workers and use and abuse them on a daily! I will miss those people dearly, I will miss those students more! I didn't work for TR for the money (God only knows they don't pay enough!) flipping burgers gets paid more! I simply and whole heartedly worked for this Students! When Ms. K was there they knew someone cared and had their backs! That's the part for me that hurts the most! As a mom I mothered each and every student that came into my life. When your student was with me you knew they were safe and loved! And most of the time very happy! So this is hard, very, very hard! Good bye TR you lost a real one! Sincerely Ms. K forever!!

Twin Rivers Unified is not only a horribly underfunded and lazily organized and completely…read moreunsupervised school district, it is downright dangerous. My son has been brutally emotionally and physically abused by his classmates across three classes and two Twin Rivers Unified schools over the last 3 years. AND NOT ONCE HAS THE SCHOOL ATTEMPTED TO PROTECT MY SON IN ANY REALISTIC OR MEANINGFUL WAY. They make false promises and safety plans with no intentions of following them. My son has been hit, kicked, STABBED with a sharp stick near his eyeballs and SPIT on. He has had to undergo Hepatitis and HIV screenings. Has come home with open bleeding wounds. And the school DOES NOT NOTIFY YOU THAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION. I am working on moving to a new school district. Your child would be safer enrolled in the infantry over in Bosnia.

This school sucks, the office never helps situations and only makes them worst. Worst 2 years of my…read morelife so far, this school has drug problems,fights,rude and disrespectful teens that have no manners; I dont know whats worse the teacher's attitude or the students. I will say the amount of opportunities here are amazing and graduating from here is only for the people who keep their head in books the whole time and who are not affected by the environment. The counseling office is so helpful and understanding though and help the students no matter what. Also the nursing program and media class are very helpful and can help with your future other then that .

Ha, I can't believe this is on here…read more Anyways, I am an EC Alumni who graduated in 2007 and was there my entire 4 year highschool career. If you're looking into this highschool for certain classes, they have your standard language classes, with Spanish and French. They took away Latin the year I wanted to take it though which was disappointing. Don't ask me about science classes or math, I hated both and scraped by on minimum credits when it came to these subjects. And English all 4 years was fun but my freshman teacher never liked me because I think she used to compare me to my older rowdier simblings, which was never fair. If you are aspiring in a career in art or music though, EC is the place to really be. You're allowed to take any of the art classes as long as you want, and the teachers are never afraid to let you excel and do what you really want to do. There was even a welding class I always wanted to take but never had time. I mainly took drawing/painting and ceramics while I was there as far as art and it was the best learning experience I've ever had. Anyway, I think Mr. Ratliff is still teaching ceramics and he teaches you everything you need to know and more. I'm taking ceramics in college and I seriously feel bored listening to the professor go on about things I already knew - that's how extensive his teaching goes. EC is also fun for it's guitar class, all kinds of choirs and fairly successful band classes. The only thing I hated was how unnecessarily strict they were when it came to certain things. I came from a MIDDLE SCHOOL of all places that allowed you to dye your hair any color you pleased, EC does not tolerate unnatural hair colors and will put you in Saturday school, which sucks. They were also much more strict with the dress codes. I felt like a child even at 18 for not being able to tdo something as simply dying my hair how I wanted. And if it seems like you're driving fast in the parking lot, they give you a speeding ticket issued by the highway patrol. I have friends who learned this the hard way who weren't even speeding. As far as the students, it was a great experience because EC wasn't one of those stereotypical "clique" schools. Sure I had weird hair, wore a studded belt and a band t-shirt, but I hung out with all kinds of kids who would probably be considered "preps", "jocks" or even "nerds." It also allowed me to make friends beyond the kids I went to middle or elementary school with which is great as well.

San Juan Unified School District - This is bullshit they sit on the side of the building on Engle and smoke so all the kids can see them on the way to school

I have never seen such dedication to education and the nurturing of young minds as I have with San…read moreJuan. I have taught all ages classes and programs from California to Colorado. This district knows how to teach! The schools are safe and well maintained by the operations staff. When I go by campuses now, I see HVAC workers on the roofs and custodians cleaning classrooms in preparation for the school year. It's good to know that there are people actively workin g behind the scenes to help facilitate the safety of our children.

San Juan Unified's interest is money and not the students. They are desperate because their…read moreenrollment is low and students are leaving the district. The district hires and retains inexperienced, rude, unmotivated, privileged teachers set in their ways, racist staff, and have discriminatory practices. I am a parent of 4 students who attended schools in the district since 2008 and it has only gotten worse. My youngest is at Rio Americano and the culture is toxic and dysfunctional. His counselor Sydnee Butcher needs training and support as an academic guidance counselor. Doesn't surprise me being trained by Elizabeth Irwin. When Sydnee first appeared last year, she was very vocal about change and supporting students. She stated she once was a student there and her experience there allowed her to identify areas of improvement. My experience with her is that is far from the truth. Sydnee doesn't perform any research nor does she fact check. She just blindly regurgitates what Elizabeth feeds her. My son is in a unique position and has aspirations for which he has set goals. While trying to reach those goals, Sydnee and Elizabeth have only worked to hold him back with hard stops. They are not helpful at all. You would think your academic guidance counselor wants students to succeed and instead of delivering hard stops, they will use their discretion (they have levels of discretion) to find ways and create opportunities to support students success. If you are able to get your children into a different district. Please do so. You will not regret it. If you are not able, please listen to your children, the teachers and staff lack integrity.

OK...so...our daughter started out in Kindergarten there. Her teacher was fantastic and the school…read morecommunity was a pleasure. First and Second grades were pretty much the same story. We noted that their alternate language training was to provide them with a Rosetta Stone account and...well that was it. No follow up or guaranteed exposure in class. Then they moved to the new campus ...and OMG We would here 'Mrs Kim's' voice mails every night on the phone "Good evening Carmichael Parents...I am the good fairy princess..". They have reorganized their parking loops and traffic flows 8-10 times in the time that we have been there. They even began controlling the way you exit the parking lot...yes redirecting traffic on public roads. The administrators cordened off all parking spots for themselves...forcing parents to park a block away if they want to walk there younger child in. They even started making the kids wait in the cold, out in the breezeways until 10 minutes prior to class so that their 'facilitators' had preparation time. Yes...facilitators...not teachers. My daughter was one of 30+ kids in a single class from three different grades, and not one was on the same lesson. The one teacher never had one on one time with her, and very little time to speak to even her grade as a whole. Essentially, the way they have organized it there, is that your kid is in a correspondence course, and with a bit of luck they get a visit from a teacher. They say it works for some.

I LOVE this school! My kid too. I consider a priviledge and…read moreblessing to be able to be part of it. Every school has troubles and misunderstandings but from over 600 parents 7 are unhappy or just cmp carmichael did not work for them, does not make this school worth of only bad reviews. Every time I had a question, principal, teachers, dean of students and administration have been so helpful and nice to us. This school is tk-8th grade. Gated.
