Browns Valley Elementary School

I disagree with the Dec. 2009 comment.. all schools in CA are now being over crowded however this school doesn't feel that way. There are 33 kids in the 4th and 5th grade classes and that is throughout the entire school district. The principal is on his 2nd year and he is here to stay I am sure. The teachers are awesome at teaching and the test scores reflect that. It is a great place to be if you want a good education for your kids and an environment where the parents are very involved.

This school is now over crowded with upper elementary grades (33 kids in my child's class!) The teachers are overworked, frustrated, and sometimes rude. The school also went through 4 principals since 2004-5. I feel there is poor oversight of children during lunch by voluteer staff, giving way to caddiness and fights, though without bodily harm. This school lives off past glory.

Very involved parents and incredibly dedicated teachers. It feels like a family!
