Riverwest Elementary School

"I had the absolute worst experience with this school. Not so much the teachers but the type of kids that attended. Fighting all day everyday, in every grade. Kid's hitting and hurting other children who have done nothing to them. Very, very aggressive kid's attend this school. Always so much screaming and distraction in classroom because they do not have the resources or enough qualified staff to handle the aggressive nature. They have classes with two or more grades in one class. The little kids get picked on by the older kids in the multigrade classrooms. Inappropriate behavior between many students has gone on "undetected". And every time things are brought up, it's.... O they come from broken environments and homes. I had to file a police report because my six year old was being physically attacked on a daily basis and NOTHING was done about it. Almost like they're afraid to approach these kids parents and know nothing will come of it any ways. Alot of kids with severe behavior problems in the regular class setting. Doing nothing but distracting everyone else. I have huge concerns about how my kids weren't learning much and falling very far behind and then them being blamed for it. I also had an issue with a k4 k5 teacher being extremely aggressive twords the kids at times. Brought it to their attention nothing was done. My son has only peed his pants twice out of potty training and both times it was because he was terrified. One of those times was when I was dropping him off at school with that teacher and he started screaming and crying saying please mommy no, I'm scared. I fee like my kids have suffered so much academically and mentally from attending this school. I will never forgive myself for sending my kids here.. It was literally the best thing around for miles. Lesson learned.. At a horrible cost!"

"I enjoyed having my son Attend Pierce and this is his last year there in K5"
