Overall I feel that teachers need more experience/help or need less children in classrooms. I dislike the way teachers use students to help in the mornings during student drop off while they (the teachers) are on their cellphones or laptops not paying much attention to to student safety. This school does not fundraisers or even allow parents to bring their children cupcakes or a cake for their birthdays. There are a lot of things this school should change but I feel that overall I don't really recommend it.

My son has attended this school since they 1st opened, he started in Pre-K. I felt that kids were being given HW at such a young age was outright wrong. ESPECIALLY, when the teacher herself never checked it. I can honestly say by far that the worst year for my son in this school was 1st grade. That teacher never had a clue as to what the hell was going on. I'd ask about the homework and she seemed confused herself. I remember have a parent teacher conference with my sons homeroom teacher and another teacher. Let me just say that the other teacher pretty much did most of the talking because his homeroom teacher had idea what in world she was saying or trying to explain. I asked her during that time if my son was improving with turning in his HW... crickets and confusion once again.

There are too many reasons on why this school is horrible. The teachers do not take initiative to learn about the student or their educational needs. All of the teachers keep leaving and going to other schools which leaves gerrero left with teachers that hardly have any experience. My child has severe allergies and the nurse did not notify his teachers or the lunch staff I had to continue to call her to tell her to do her job. The mentality of the school is just poor overall frequently I go into the office and I see teachers being ignored by other staff members the school does not work as a team. How can it even be professional when everyone has a very poor attitude. The only nice encounter that I ever had at Gererro Thompson ,was when the nice janitor lady said hello good morning, this is something very rare to receive a Guerrero. Being that my child's teachers are very inexperienced leads them to do things inefficiently and unorganized whenever I ask a simple question as to what is the curriculum schedule for the day? the teacher cannot give me an answer in fact she said I have not thought about that yet, and this was 3 days before school starts ,not to mention this was meet the techers day. My child has a disability and neither of his teachers have tried to set up a meeting to discuss his needs and disadvantages and goals, so every time I encounter these people I have to keep reminding them what their job are and how to do it. I am not even a teacher I feel like I'd probably make a lot better one. so at the end of the day I feel like why am I sending my child somewhere where they may not be better off. These are only a few things that have not gone right. If you value your child and care about there educational experience DO NOT COME HERE.
