I have been a Paddison parent for about 14 years. I think that Paddison has come a long way with a wonderful new principal, Mrs.Guiterriz ,she gets to know the children as well as their parents, and is always available to listen to us . She greets the children every morning and stands outside after school. She is very involved. We also have a new PTA ,they have family nights and are getting parents involved. this is a great improvement compared to when Mrs. DeLuna was running PTA. Mrs. Arce, Mrs. Ramos, and Mrs. Aguilar are doing a great job for our school, bringing families together and making us feel welcome. My children really look forward to the events PTA puts together.

This year there is a new principal. She does greet the kids by their names every morning. Mrs. Guttierez really listens. I've had kids at this school for five years. The last two principals had real problems, especially Ms. McIntosh. She was horrible to parents. This principal has been so good and my kids love their school and their teachers. They are really learning so much.

This is a great school both of my daughters are in the gate program and have attended this Paddison since Kindergarten, they have thrived to the best of their ability and by far are over achievers and well known at school, the negative input in my views is irrelevant to the school's academic performance and has no reflection on the staff, the PTA folks are obviously unemployed and have a personal vendetta against Mrs Macintosh of whom I believe to be an excellent principal.

This school is sad. There are no incentives for the kids. The teachers are great and seem to try their best, but Mrs. Mcintosh, the principal is too rule bound and does not make an effort to know the kids or make it cheerful.There is an awards ceremony just after report card, but no one is allowed to even clap for the kids who get rewards. We parents do not feel welcome. The PTA is no longer able to have a voice. No one even wants to help with PTA anymore. Everything gets shot down. Teachers do not seem happy. No one seems to matter or be able to talk to the principal. She is the boss and she sees it as her school. It's really our community. Some have gone to the superintendant but he doesn't listen. It's too bad.
