Sultana Elementary School

The school caters to all the 'Spanish Speaking' parents. There have been many functions that take so long because everything has to be repeated in spanish. Also since I happen to know both lanuages I noticed that things are explained in greated detail when spanish is being used. Many teachers allow students to speak spanish during class time and school activties. I have been on field trips and class activties where students will speak in spanish and use foul and disgusting slang with eachother counting on the fact that their teacher dose not understand spanish. I feel a great unsatisfaction when I raise a concern about my children learning 'bad spanish words' and nothing being done to correct the problem.

The teachers need to put more effort to make the students better students. The school lacks on dicipline and extracurricular activities. There is no parent involvement. The teachers quality has to improve extensively. There are no effective tutoring programs.

They have a great dual immersion program for Spanish/English language instruction. The teachers in this program are exremely competent and their students are among the highest achieving students in the school!

They dont have alot of help from the school district. In term of support or help. The school is in need of a indoor cafeteria. They need better books. There is alot of need. And from hearing from some of the teacher. They them self will tell you that this school is lacking some of the basic needs for growth.
