Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I had a son and daughter who got out of Mission not long ago i currently have a daughter attending this school. I love this school but my only problem with this school is the bullying, and how some staff and teachers treat the kids. I give this school a rating of a 3.
—Submitted by a parent
My kids have been at Mission on and off for the past 3 yrs(moved away, then had to move back) I really HATE what I see going on at this school...way to much yelling from teachers at the kids and parents....Children hurting others and NOTHING really being done, but spoken too.....The Principal isn't very good at her job, things are brought to her attention, and there is ALWAYS an excuse. Some teachers are great, but MOST shouldn't be teaching. =(
—Submitted by a parent
I'm very new to this school. I was extremely apprehensive signing my kids to this school. My first visit I noticed that the children were constantly getting yelled at. And soon, I found myself getting yelled at.. LoL. Some are rude. It isnt easy. However, the principle is amazing.
—Submitted by a parent
I really like the school especially the principle. She is very quick to responding to problems and complaints. I have been having an issue with my child's teacher, she is very difficult to talk to. However, the principle has help fix the problem.

I love all my childrens teachers and am pleased so far this year
—Submitted by a parent
I think Mission has some great teachers, although I think the supervision of children and leadership is not all that great.
—Submitted by a staff
The teachers care about each student's learning. They are very proactive and work to prevent future learning problems rather than just looking at their year with the child. Academics are stressed, but music, computers and physical education are also a part of the curriculumn. The staff is ahead of the district on implementing the nationally reknowed 'Character Counts' program. Your child will have a chance to achiever his/her very best at Mission Elementary School.
—Submitted by a teacher
Its been really good so far. The teachers are very helpful and the only thing that I think helps your child overall is your involvement as well as the schools.
—Submitted by Kathleen Hammon, a parent
This is a good school where teachers pay attention to every single student. I have two boys going to Mission and they love it. Once we had a problem with a child hurting my son and as soon as I called they took care of it. The principle was notified and the other boys parents. The boy appologized to my son on the same day and the teacher made sure that my son knows that he did the right thing of telling me about it. It make me feel good that they take things like that very serious.
