Assaulted by a student led to 2 staples in his head. The student who attacked him said it was an accident so no consequnce was given. The next day the student was making fun of his bandage on his head! No response from admin when addressed to her via email.

Not teaching integrity when consequences for poor actions are not addressed. Students do not learn what is right or wrong.

Son was hit in the head with a back pack with rocks in it causing him to get 2 staples out in. Admin didnt have any consequences for that student. Was back at school like nothing happened!

Had no complaints with the teachers, but when an incident does occur it is not handled appropriately or in a timely matter. Issues go unresolved and there is not much communication. Very upsetting especially since the incident called for immediate medical attention and the student brought harmful objects to school. I am sorry staff has to work under these conditions. Kids can do whatever they want and nothing will happen.

This school is not equipped to work with kids who need extra support. After being told over and over that my son did this wrong or that wrong instead of showing him with positive reinforcements how to do it correctly. A kid can only take so much of being told he is doing something wrong without breaking down.

My son was in a mixed grade class for a little extra support and after I sat down with the principal about having my son in a mainstream class, she said to my face that he would fail without giving him the opportunity to show what he can do. Now that he is in a NEW School in a mainstream general ed class, he is doing great!

My son was put in a class with kids kinder through 3rd for extra support because they told me that he would fail in a class with kids his age. This was after multiple mentors came to be privately saying that I needed to push to have him in a regular class because he would be fine. But the Principal had other ideas. I felt like she cared more about the extra money she got for having him in that class instead of giving him the opportunity to show what he was capable of doing.

My son had a kid, that was in his class two years in a row. He would mess with him, causing my son to act out. I brought it to the schools attention and nothing was done. So glad I moved schools.

Not great. Maybe if their staff was trained to help kids that need more support or didnt tell them they did wrong all the time, it wouldnt be so bad. Im not talking about all the staff as I only had experience with this specific teacher and the principal. My son is now thriving at his new school. When you go from being told you are doing everything wrong instead of teaching them in a positive way so they understand, there is a huge difference. I would say if your kids need extra support, dont send them here. If they are more independent, I dont see a problem sending Them.

Excellent, I have 2 kids at this school, we transfered from another school in murrieta that was ranked a 9 on this website and this school in my opinion is much better. It is also a STEM school!

This is our 4th year at EHC now and (TK, K, 1st, now 2nd) and I am so proud to be apart of this STEM school. There have been many positive changes over the recent years and things keep getting better and better. Our principal, Mrs Roden is incredible and wonderful new teachers added to the team. As a parent, volunteer and PTA member, I enjoy every moment at school and whatever I can do to help and be involved.

Knowing the principal, Mr. David Koltovich, has been such a wonderful blessing for my daughters and myself. I can't give enough praises for this individual and the staff at E. Hale Curran. Mr. Andrew Sosa is an amazing Special Education Teacher. My eldest daughter has blossomed in his class. My youngest is in kindergarten and is reading and asking very intelligent questions. I will be very sad when Mr. Koltovich retires this year but know that my girls have obtained a world of positive learning and growth in their time here.

so far the staff is very rude they do not help you in the office all they want to do is get rid of you I can't say much about the teachers yet but my son has an IEP and so far he told me that he does not get any help in the class but if things change I will repost a better review as for now I don't like what I see

My two older brothers, my sister and I actually went to this school in the late 80s/ early 90s.... I remember if I asked a questionon how to do something I was yelled at by the teacher. I remember one time I asked a teacher to re explain a math problem, I think I was in 3rd grade. The teacher told the whole class I wasn't listening and i was embarrassed, and never asked again, for any class. I wanted to be taken out so bad and go to another school but at that time I think there was only 4 other schools at the time. As an ex student's perspective, I hated it.
