Alice M. Birney Elementary School Reviews

 
It should be mentioned that Birney Elementary is both a California Distinguished School and a Title I Achievement school. All three of my sons have attended Birney Elementary over the past several years and my youngest son is currently attending Birney. While there have been many changes in that time, there are some things that have remained consistent. One is how the staff seems to be able to work as a team, across grade levels, to educate our kids. Some teachers team more than others, but the entire staff is involved and communicates with one another about their kids. Another constant is the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the school. Students and parents feel safe and accepted. It makes a difference when my son says wants to be at school.

I feel the staff is great! We do have some teachers that put more effort than others, but all our abilities put together have brought success to the majority of our students. You will get the parents who disagree, but they are mainly the ones who put the 100% on the teachers, without realizing that teachers can not do it all, especially when there is no support from home. Most successful students are the ones who have a trianlge working. Parent involvement is the key. They must take the time to look over homework and stay on top of what is going on in the schools. Parents: ask your child everyday, what did you learn? How was your day? etc.

My son has gone to Birney since the beginning and I can honestly say in his 5 yrs there he has had 2 good teachers. I feel that the teachers need to step it up and really help these kids, my son has struggled this last year and his teacher has no interest in helping him all he does is send another kid his age to teach him and I don't think that's right,we pay the teacher to teach our kids but I guess they don't see it that way. The principal the have now is worthless, she just as bad as the teachers. Birney elementary really needs help in finding better teacher that can really focus on our kids.

What an outstanding job principal Ms. Norman and her school staff have done in the past 6 years my daughter has attended Birney Elementary School. I have had the pleasure of working along with some of the best teachers each with their special qualities have help enhance the educations and lives of my child. As you can see, this well blend of teachers and staff have made my daughter become a happy and well balanced student that is planning to come back as a successful doctor to your El Rancho School District Dinner of Honor for past students. But if this was not enough Ms Norman has gone out of her way along with our hard working Gardner to beautify the school grounds with beautiful plants. This has not only shown our children love for nature and respect, but also a pinch of pride to attend their beautiful school everyday.
