John Malcom Elementary School

Looking over the reviews I had to chime in. My boy has had 3 teachers at Malcolm. All have been truly envoled in the process. The cirriculum is advanced, but well thought out and implemented. However, parents must get involved with homework and after school activities at Malcolm. For parents who complain about social issues and kindness, 'get involved' and send your kids to school 'prepared'. They will have more fun and look forward to school, learning and friendships. The rest will fall into place naturally. Kids wand to be proud of their accomplishments and share successes on a social level. Malcom also has a Great Principal and a Super Staff!

Times are tough all over yet the collective community at John Malcom Elementary perseveres with purposeful direction, love and determination to make a difference in ourselves and in the world.

After reading the reviews I have to weigh in my experience with Malcolm. My child was one of the first graduating classes. What you will find at Malcolm is education but what you won't find is actually what is most important- kindness. There is a sense of elitism in the parents and supported by the teachers and staff. It was an extremely painful time looking back and it might have been better to change schools as they tend to cater to only the upper level of society. Sorry Malcolm but it was true then and it appears to be true still.

My children have attended Malcom for 5 years. It is an excellent school. The teachers are absolutely phenomenal! It is truly a 'community' feeling. There is a tremendous amount of

I took my kids to San clemente where the parents and children are grounded, not focused on the almighty dollar and know how to really play. The teachers parents and kids smile and are happy and recognize the uniqueness of all children. My kids were @ Malcolm for three of the most anxiety ridden years of our live. We had two excellent teachers and two judgmental rude ones.

I am very pleased with the education my children are receiving from the teachers at Malcom. I am also very impressed with our Principal, Dr. Morris. At the January 2007 'Coffee with the Principal' she addressed the parent comment placed on this web site regarding bullying. She encouraged parental input and went over what she, the teachers and staff were doing to provide a safe and inviting environment for the students. Communicating your experiences and concerns with the principal is important; Dr. Morris is very approachable.

Malcom is a nice school, clean and academically good. The people are awful! There is a huge problem with bullying and the new Principal doesn't do much about it. The PTA is strong and has great leadership. Overall the academics is great but the social aspect is terrible.

Malcom is a wonderful school and I feel privileged that my children can attend this school. The teaching staff is excellent. Many programs are provided to the children including extra programs provided by the PTA (ie kindergarten music class). The PTA and overall parent involvement at this school is phenomenal and unlike most other schools I have had experience with.

This was the best school I could ever dream of for my girls to go to. The teachers, the curriculum, the school activities, the field trips, the 'togethernes' of staff-parents-teachers-children, and most importantly the principal were unparallel to no other. My biggest fear of moving to another county has been the move to another school. And it has been justifiable. Good job Malcom on your great success!
