Monroe Elementary School Reviews

 
This year is my sons first year at Monroe He loves his teacher Mr. Kong and he seems to enjoy school, However I must agree with a lot of the comments on Bullies at the school. My son is trying very hard to try to adapt and he does come home often saying thre is crude name calliing, and just recently was hit in the face and kicked by a student leaving a bruise on his leg. So far Ive heard of no punishment given, or an apology by the student, This is a serious problem wheen there's abuse by a student and no action is taken to correct it.

Below poor principal, teachers and staff. Below poor security make the campus unsafe for children at certain times. Below poor playground attendents that pay no attention as bullies run amok. Grounds are not maintained well, the school sign is an embarrassment the way it typically looks. This school is what gives many schools, teachers and the whole system a bad name. I also discovered that this school is rated by the LBUSD as a 'needs improvement' school - are we surprised, I think not.

I rate the safety of this school to be poor. Even with voicing our concerns to the principal issues still go unchanged.

I agree with this post. In fact I am questioning if I wrote this and somehow forgot I had. The school for the most part does a decent job but can certainly do better. Some of the teachers do appear to be bothered when you ask them to do 'their jobs' I understand budget cuts and not wanting to work and get paid minimal for it however as a teacher that is just part of the job. Parents are the 1st teacher in a childs life (or should be) and we are not paid. We enjoy the smiles when they 'get it' some teacher in addition to their awful pay still get the satifaction of a childs smile. I would love to see more smiles at monroe on the faces of both teachers and students.

This school has nothing spectacular to offer. It is average along with the staff who is not very welcoming or helpful. I hope the new principal can encourage positive attitudes within the staff and PTA that the school needs.I heard so much complaining among staff members.(not good for a parent to hear!) Along with the behavioral problems esp. from the Middle school kids. I'm hoping for an improvement.

My son will be 5th grader going into the 08-09 school year. Thus far we have had amazing teachers. We had Mrs quinby for 4th and he loved her. My only concern is that there is way to many bullies on the playground and they get away with it on a daily basis especially at lunch. My son and other friends of his have told me that the yard ladies are not doing much to stop this and my son is miserable when lunch time arrives. He has always loved school but now has issues just thinking about lunch and if the same kids are going to steal his lunch again. I love the school but just hope they will please pay more attention. I know it can be hard I have worked daycare for many years and you cant see everything.

This is just an update since the prior posts were before the new Principle came aboard. The school still has a long way to go as far as parent involvment, which can make or break a school sometimes. Mrs. Imbroane is the best thing thats happened to this school in a long time. It's too bad the budget cuts will affect how much she can do for the school. She has such spirit and willingness to physically get out there and make things better. If only half the parents that complain about things, could use that energy toward helping, we could be a 9 or 10 rated school too.

I went to this school during the 4 grade year all the way untill the 8th grade i loved the teachers and and the staff. I would never forget any one there. It's a wonderful place to grow and learn from. I'm a senior now about to graduate, gving lots of thanks to the teachers there and staff.

My son has been going to the school for 2 years now and he loves it. He was speech delayed and I was nervous about starting Kindergarten, but to my surprise, it has been the best thing for him. He had a wonderful Kindergarten teacher. The school has a gardening program and library day. He's brought home Radishes that he learned all about and Kale that our whole family tried for the first time. Another great option that the school offers is the
