The Bullying in this school is out of control. Everything gets swept under the rug and is never resolved. i am letting my kids finish out the school year but they will not be attending this school again. I have already registered them at another school.

WWORST SCHOOL EVER.I come from san.bernardino.And thought wow ontario.No way.From day one my child has been picked on and made fun of weight. I agree they sweep EVERYTHING under the rug.I can not belive no one cares.The kids are way out of control.And the school needs to fix the BULLYING ISSUES.And the parents need a lesson on parking right and droping off the children and the curb NOT STOPPING TRAFFIC AND DROPING THEM OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAM STREET......

Things have really improved thanks to the new Principal, Dr. Garret and the PTA. Many events this year have really created a community at the school. They even have a new Community Liaison person that speaks perfect Spanish and is helping build bridges between parents and the school. The PTA still needs more volunteers though.

This Is the worst school! My child has went to Levi for 2 years and went from top of her class in K to intervention as a first grader! She has been abused and made fun of on a daily bases and has had her pants pulled down to her underwear twice in the same school year! The kids are out of control and it is a Zoo! Please think twice if your child has to attend this school and transfer NOW!!!!

This is the worst school in the I.E. We have a new principle mrs.miller who thinks she is coming to get things in line and the only thing she is worried about is the parking lot. And as for the teachers Mr. Magical is a poor excuse for a teacher of role model and everthing else he's suppose to represent
—Submitted by a parent
Just moved from the Ontario Montclair school district and I'm very disappointed in this school. The parking lot is a zoo and no one seems to have control of the children and unfortunately to say, the parents. I like my daughters teacher ( Mrs Simons) she is the only one I've seen trying to discipline the children in the playground. I really appreciate that.......thank you Mrs Simons!

Appreciate the Principle Mrs. Miller and her staff members especially all the hard working teachers. I am very please and I highly recommended this school.

This has got to be the worst school I have ever come in contact with. They brush problems with teachers under the rug. They have a huge problem with teacher that lack organizational skills and ability to keep their classes under control. It's very important that parents keep all of their childrens corrected class work so you can prove what assignments your children have done so when you get the report cards that reflect poor grades due to missing assignments you'll be able to prove your case. It would be in your best interest to put your child in almost any other school in So. Cal.

Princpal leadership is great, they are always visible and available, the teachers I have encountered for the most part show good judgement. The substitutes chosen have not been well prepared. I think staff and principals should be more involved with the actual class education and feedback from students in reference to their class environment. Maybe provide extra classes to show teachers how to manage and assist students, especially as it pertains to large class sizes and situations in and out of class.

very cheap school!!!!! low academic programs. no after school sports..... i do not recommend to go to levi dickey!!!!!
—Submitted by Brittany, a former student
I am not only a former student of Levi Dickey, but I am also a repetitive volunteer who beleives that this school has been seriously overlooked. Levi Dickey is a great school full of caring and concerned teachers. Working on a teaching credential myself, I can only hope to be as good of an example to my students as they have been to me.
—Submitted by Janelle Housen, a former student
Principal George and Asst. Principal Martinez knew their parents by name. I imagine most parents, like me, would feel important when addressed by name by a person in charge of 500+parents.

Welcome to GreatSchools!
For principals and school officials, we offer a special Enhanced School Profile (ESP) which allows you to update and add information about your school, as well as respond to reviews. If you are a school official, click Continue to start.
Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for your comment to be posted to our site. While you're here, we'd like to invite you to fill out a survey on your school's programs, activities, and extracurriculars. It only takes a few minutes and will help parents get a full picture of your school.
Continue to compare the schools you have already selected or Edit schools to change your selection.
Get started now! You have successfully registered and can now start updating your Official School Profile. The information you provide is extremely valuable in helping parents and students learn more about your school, so thanks for taking the time!
