I have been very disappointed in the Alta Elementary School. My child had 50 students in his K class, and the school decided to only provide two teachers for the majority of the year (25 kids per section). Also, in my opinion, the supervision & safety of the students outside of the classroom setting is not up to par. Students are able, and do, exit the building for recess and play without any adult supervision for up to 10 minutes after their lunch. I think the leadership is weak, and parent and teacher concerns are often discounted. I have had positive experiences with the teachers, as have my kids, however, it is difficult to expect all the students to receive the learning and attention they are entitled to when the class sizes are so far above the recommended size of [the] IA Dept of Education and Nat'l Education Assn
