Both my kids attended this school. Both did well there. Leadership and teaching are tops, though its always sad to see so many resources going to ESOL and not enrichment for the other kids. I found the homeroom teachers responsive and the occasional problems were resolved, but with persistence sometimes on my behalf I have to laugh when I read the reviews about the office staff - so true. Don't know why they are crabby, nor why its tolerated. However, I would pick this school over any of the other local elementaries.
If your kid starts out ahead in Kindergarten, he/she will just sit there until focus becomes available 6 months into their 1st grade yr. My child is in the 1st grade and is working on basic addition. She learned this in preK. Last year she not start learning new material until Feb., when enrichment classes began. This year looks like a repeat and enrichment is no longer offered. There are 20+ kids in her class and no parapro, not 14 as mentioned in the report. My child is a blessing to the teacher, because she can have her sit there and vegetate, while teaching the other kids in class. Extra-curricular activies are scarce. Everyone is expected to be the same. If your kid has ADD or is reading on the first day of kindergarten, too bad.
My son moved to Harbins half way through the 2007/2008 year & like other reviews, the office staff is not the most helpful nor friendly. However, once we got through that hurdle, we have loved his teachers. My son transitioned well and has been very happy there since.
