Not a good experience with this school at all. Aside from the fact that the school is not very diverse, they don’t have the experience, teacher tenure, nor accessibility to programs experienced teachers to help the students accelerate.

Instead of offering support, intervention and effective tools to students with trouble learning, (which if you look at the data is more than half of the school and they fall below state level on most, if not all categories) they offer a patternless, inefficient “small group” within the same classroom as the teachers that have been ineffective. When that doesn’t work the response is typically “they child isn’t responding to our EXCELLENT interventions so there MUST be some sort learning disability can we test your child”?

Instead of recognizing the fact that the entire school is falling behind in several different areas and that major adjustments need to be made with staffing and resources, they would rather leave the students behind which leads to low test scores, low progression and retention.

Until the person(s) in charge advocate for the children and give them the resources and support they need to make improvements, this school and MOST IMPORTANTLY the students will continue to fall behind. Get your child out before it’s too late.

This is a great school with wonderful leadership and teachers. If anyone has a problem with communication, I would suggest you read the flyers that come home in the kids backpacks or listen to the weekly voicemails - in both English and Spanish. Only safety issue is parents racing to be 1st in carpool line or driving too fast in the parking lot. The only bullying we've seen is from the parents when they don't get special favors. My only complaint, she's in the 5th grade and won't be able to attend Blair next school year.

My children have flourished here. They have had amazing teachers that encourage them to go above and beyond. Their third grade teachers even taught them cursive. I love this school and wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else.

My child had wonderful kindergarten teachers Mrs. Villacres and Ms. Matute. My child can read in Spanish and can count to 100. Excellent teachers and an excellent school.

This school is now called Blair Elementary. It's K-5. My daughter loves this school and so do I. We had a great experience last year. She learned a lot. The communication is great between teacher and parent. The teacher Ms.Baker was wonderful and so were the ATB teachers and helpers. The principal is very nice and informative and she creates a fun and safe environment for the children. My only complaints are that the Hispanic female at the right front desk is rude and the events that Blair does could be a lot more organized. Also, if you ever want to buy their t-shirts, do it at the beginning of the year otherwise you will never get them. Other than that I would love for my daughter to be able to go go to Blair again.
