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!

She comes home every day from school telling me all the new things that she learned including her alphabet, counting, sing-along songs, writing skills etc. She is always excited to go to school, and is well monitored while there with multiple teachers supervising in the classroom at all times. You can tell the teachers have a passion for children and genuinely love their job. They have flexible hours that you can adjust to fit your work or school schedule. They offer full day school and extended hours which is difficult to find for toddlers. There IS a waiting list, but it is well worth the wait! I highly recommend the program

We had an option to enroll her at GVA with her other cousins but so far my sis- in - law has had some issues with them nothing major but enough for me not to feel comfortable with. When my nephews first got here (Everett elementary)they were behind in school due to my sister not taking them in Lodi, that's when we became legal guardians and enrolled them here, right away the teachers were very helpful and did everything they could to help one of my nephews catch up they split him in k/1st grade it was a lot for him but the teachers worked very hard for him. I now have two happy healthy boys and I thank the twins Ms. Vaughn and Ms. Vaughn for helping my nephew get through this rough patch.

I worked at Columbia for about six months and that was the worst six months I ever had in my life , Columbia treats their staff member so poorly! We were always understaffed and always treated like crap from other staff members including the MOT!! Which is known as janitor people at Columbia Elementary School!! I was a yard duty at that school and seeing how many kids got bullied beat up on and in fistfight at such a young age and that school never did anything, no follow through no punishments nothing just sent right back out to recess!! it disgusts me!!! I saw so many concerned parents because they had no idea what was going on at that school because the school does not inform parents about anything!!! Usually at an elementary school it's three strikes you're out when it comes to discipline I have never seen a child control the teachers so badly in my life just because his mom and dad worked at that school!! I also worked with a few elderly people that were so beyond kind hearted and we're poorly treated like garbage! The janitors also like to walk around and say that it is not their job to pick up garbage and to do janitor things! My main concern here is that there has been so many staff members children, parents that have been concerned about their kids in the school and everyone contacts the superintendent for help and the superintendent will not do a single thing about anything!!! The principal at that school don't even get me started with that one I have heard her say so many mean things to children telling children to shut up telling children they're stupid I have no idea how that principal is a principal!!! I will continue to post bad reviews so people can read them and see how the school is and they can continue to take my review down but I will continue to post and continue to get it out there because this school draws so much concern to me there's so much more in depth that I would like to say but that would be cutting into children's privacy and I would not want to do that for the privacy of the parent and the children!!! By far the worst school ever!!
