Cesar Chavez Elementary School

This school has improved over the last couple of years. The teachers and staff are wonderful, caring people. They love their students. This school also has a great PTO team that does so much for the students. Classroom size is NOT small, in my opinion. Small to me is 15-20, but the majority of the classrooms have 25-30 students. They do need to have teachers aids because it's just too much for one teacher to handle a whole classroom. I worked/volunteered there as a tutor and I was satisfied with my daughter's first year at this school. This and every school needs more parents to get involved!

I think that the parent who wrote that the school is very old and outdated is confused with a different school because this school just opened in January of 2009. I just moved my daughter to this school and have another that will be starting next year. It is a very new school and the classroom size is small. The staff is very friendly and some of the teachers that are teaching here have been teaching in the district for at least 15-20 years because I had them as teachers too!

The school is very old and outdated. The classrooms are bug infested and dirty. The playground is old and filled with dirty sand. The cafeteria is small, dirty, and unorganized. The school has no place for parents to park which causes a great deal of problems during drop off and pick up. The school has no security at all. There is hardly any parent involvement hence lack of funds. Nearly 85% of PTO meetings are spoken in spanish which makes it difficult for us to understand or even want to come to any meetings at all. Do yourself a favor- If you live in Greenfield and your child has to go to school, beg for someone's address in Soledad and take them there instead.
