I love Victoria Magathan Elementary School because it is the best school in the High Desert. We have an excellent Dual Immersion Program that teaches children to read, write, and speak Spanish. Our staff is dedicated to the well being of the children academically as well as mentally (FUN). Our principal is awesome. She loves teaching and continues to due so through her leadership skills and great knowledge of the learning process. We are a family that sticks together and supports one another through the good times and the bad. theses children are considered our children and we take special care to make sure that they know it.
This school has improved greatly in the last few years thanks to Mrs. Thomas. The teachers are wonderful and dedicated.
If you can help it, do not enroll your child in this school. At first, I was happy that my child would be attending a school with a black principal and what seemed to be a supporting staff. Come to find out that I have had nothing but difficult situations; one after another. The teacher my child was assigned to, was purely antagonistic, to her students and my child. She did nothing to help the students advance, but had much to say if they didn't read at the level she thought they should be reading at. Not to mention, this school has no physical education system in place. The children have twenty five minutes to eat and play, which is the only exercise they have. My child was not happy at this school, and I was even unhappier, knowing that he wasn't in a positive learning environment. I have transferred my child to D. F. Bradach, where we are both happy.
This school is much improved. My daughters first year at this school was filled with frustration! Two years and a new principle later, the staff has done a wonderful job of bringing an unorginized mess into control. My only complaint is the lack of a music program.
