When my brother came to this school it was great kids got the help they needed and you hardly ever seen any sort of violence or BULLYING. So when it was an option to enroll my daughter I was ecstatic. Well she has been bullied by the same kid for almost this whole school year. And there was an incident by some upper-class member (bullied into kissing a classmate). I have a low grade kid.

I have a lot to say about this school but I know I won't be able to say it all. I'm a former student here and from personal experience I hated the school the former principal was weird and I've had bad experiences with quite a few teachers(some I know still continue to "teach" here) I was a quiet kid didn't do anything out of pocket just wanted to get the days over with. I used bring up moving schools or even homeschooling to my parents. I'm grown now I've finished school as a whole. I sadly have a sibling that goes here and from the beginning I was always against them attending this school because of obvious personal experiences. I did have the thought that maybe it's changed it's been years I knew a new principle had come about so I tried not be so against it. Well to this day the dislike I hold for this school persists. The things I hear happen disappoints me. It seems like nothing has changed. I wouldn't recommend this school to absolutely anyone.

This year the bullying has gotten out of control. There is nothing to engage the children in, no after school programs, no art, no music. Just swearing and bullying.

My husband and my self went to Otay school 27 years ago and now our son attends Kinder. The school is great, the teacher Ms. Todal is amazing. My son has learned to read so fast and he has gotten to be great at math. All the kids talents come out, all the kids have improved in one way or another.

My daughter started going here for 2nd grade and is now going to 5th. My litle one did Kinder and is going to 1st grade. I am very pleased with the teaching methods, they have wondreful teachers, staff and principal. The students do a lot of testing but also get medals or trophys if they get passing scores. This is an accelerated school and I enjoy my children going here. =)
