Wildwood Elementary School

This school is awesome! My kids love their teachers, the principal is hands-on and involved with the parents, staff and kids. I am so happy our school finally has a principal who controls any bullying and behavior issues and is fair and consistent with everyone and that we have someone who wanted to be a school principal again instead of being so far removed at the district office level, a bold move in these times. This school was the only school in the district eligible to apply for a California Distinguished School this year because of the leadership of the principal and teachers, involvement and support of parents and academic growth of students. If you are moving to this district, fill out the paperwork to come to this school. You will love it it!

First things first, if you are not rude and snotty and caddy you can't work in the front office!! If you are not sneaky and condesending you can't be a Principal!!!! Strangely the former Superintendent of Schools is now the Principal of Wildwood!! If you ask me instead of being demouted she should have been terminated, but oh right they don't do anything normal or proper in the Yucaipa School District instead we will make her the new miserable Principal at an Elmentary School!!!!! Comes off nice, but let me tell you she is not!!! And another thing they get rid of all the great teachers like Mrs. Dawson she was an excellent teacher and instead they keep the hateful witchy teachers, and have a teacher there that they call the pervert teacher!!!

Wildwood Elementary is a great school with a wonderful teachers & staff. I believe the teachers and staff truly care about the needs of each individual student and go above and beyond what is expected. My only complaint in regards to this school are the parents. I have never witnessed such lack of respect, cruelty and outright ignorance from parents in a community. Now mind you ,there are only a handful of these parents that seem to give a bad name to the rest of us. The parents I am speaking of seem to constanatly have some grievance with the school whether that be with the teacher, playground, yard duty, office staff, lunch, recess, volunteer time, principal, homework and the list goes on. I feel so sorry for the teachers and staff that have to deal with these 'mommies'. 5 stars staff 0 stars parents

The teachers in this school are just mediocre. As a previous review stated, they need to be pushed to provide assistance. [My daughter's teacher] is very nice, but very difficult to work with in providing assistance.

Unfortunately, the ongoing battle of teacher wages/benefits has still not been resolved with the school district. The teachers are understandably frustrated with this issue. Their union and the district both distribute literature claiming the 'other side' is being unreasonable. Until they have resolved those problems, teachers are not compelled to put in the extra hours and effort that they use to, although I personally think they are do a terrific job. Perhaps the district really cannot afford their demands for the nominal increase; perhaps it is a state problem that has trickled down. I don't pretend to know all the details but I hope, for the sake of the morale of the entire school, they take a close look and truly attempt to work it out to insure a fair deal. I would like to see more clubs and extra-curricular activities for WES students that currently simply do not exist.

I like my daughter attending this school. There is only 1 thing that I do not agree with and that is the same thing as the last persons post, The bullying. Oherwise the teachers are great, they are not just teachers, they treat your kids like their own. Ms. Labani is the best teacher. I dont think my daughter will ever have a teacher top her.
