Dr. Peter Marshall Elementary School

2627 Crescent Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92801

"It's a good school. They recently expanded their school grounds, and keep their grounds clean."

"It was great from k-3rd until 4th grade (2009). I got a teacher named Mr. Rogers and that started to go downhill. Me and some other students were extremely terrified by this teacher. I made one tiny mistake and he yelled at me. He would also say and I quote, "I can make you cry." When I told my parents about him, they immediately switched me to Schweitzer elementary school. I only lasted in Mr Rogers class until it was almost October. Overall, I would recommend the school if Mr Rogers wasn't working there anymore. If he is there, I highly recommend Schweitzer elementary school."

"My son went to this school from 2nd grade to 4th grade. I thought i liked this school until my son was being picked on. I wasn't too happy with the new principle, Mr. Hernandez. He made a comment that really upset me. He said, "because your son does certain things, other students think it's ok to do it also." The fact that a principle can make this type of comment is beyond me! My son and a group of other kids would hang out and of course, my son was the bad one when in fact, ALL THE BOYS did the same thing but the blame was on my son ONLY!!! Also, their Anaheim Achieves here is HORRIBLE!!!! I loved it when Darika was in charge but ever since Evette became supervisor for the 2015-2016, everything went downhill. She was super write up happy. She'd give write ups for every little thing these kids did. She has the worst attitude, does not know how to talk to kids or parents. She's rude and disrespectful. I reached out to her boss, Donna and of course, Donna did absolutely nothing to help! i finally took my son out of this school in the middle of his 4th grade year. Once i transferred him to a new school, he was so much happier with the school, teachers and Anaheim Achieves. Come to find out, my son was the only student in his new 4th grade class that DID NOT know to write in cursive because apparently, his teachers at Peter Marshall didn't teach him!!!! It all makes sense to me now why Peter Marshall has great test scores. They obviously are not teaching kids what they need to know. I remember learning cursive in 3rd - 4th grade and for my son to not know how to write in cursive in the middle of his 4th grade year is just ridiculous!!! I do not recommend this school!!! Both my son and I are extremely happy with the move and he does not miss this school at all!!! My son was being picked on by teachers and staff! Before I forget, the nurse at this school is ridiculous also. My son would go to her and tell her what would bother him and she would just tell him to stop lying and go back to class. well, one day he did go to her complaining about pain and she didn't believe him. My son ended up having a UTI!!! Not pleased with this school at all!"

"My experience this year with Mr Brown has been wonderful as well its been really fun and funny."

"Our experience was extremely negative: Between 2001 and 2007 my daughter was bullied, neglected, assaulted by a teacher, Robert Brown, humiliated frequently by another teacher, Cerri Chaves, and we were ostracized by the school and Magnolia School District. Why?... I believe their mistreatment was based on a laundry list of third party accusations reported to them and other members of the community by the absent father of my child, and had nothing to do with any observations of us as a parent and a student. I had sole physical and legal custody of my daughter, the father had a restraining order on him, he had no parental rights, and we had no contact with him, but the school evidently did, which we were not privy to at the time. He was a Santa Ana police officer, who accepted early retirement as a plea out to evade domestic violence charges, and was evidently using the school and other sources as a vehicle to retaliate. Regardless of my many attempts to communicate with the school and the district, I was consistently ignored until I was forced to write the State and Federal Departments of Education, which finally resulted in reprimands of the principal and a teacher. Unfortunately that didn't happen until my daughter graduated from that school and there was no change in the mistreatment against her while she was in attendance. I sent letters to the Board of trustees and the director of special education, which were NEVER responded to. I am an Anaheim homeowner and voter, who supports the district through property taxes and wishes to be heard and communicated with. My hope is that the school and district implement more professional behavior when confronted with defamation issues and that ALL children would be permitted to exercise their rights to a happy and safe school experience without ridicule, shame, and exacerbation by school employees. If any certificated employee or member of the board wishes to contact me in an effort to work amicably towards our happiness as members of this community, please message me or contact me directly. Thank you"
