Anthem School

"Son attended 1st -3rd. Office staff has always been rude and not very helpful. I've never had a personal problem with anyone there but have always dread going in the office or calling for the unpleasant service that has just grown to be expected. The lack of communication with the bus barn is terrible. Twice my child didn't show up at home and it was a frantic feeling. When asked why they can't call and inform parents their child will be 15-30 minutes late they said "it would take too much to call the parents". Overall the academic curriculum and little activities and events have been good. For a public school it's good, just don't count on having much involvement with your child while he/she are in school, or expect too much from office staff."

"This school is absolute trash, the teachers accused a bunch of people for apparently 'throwing thingss at lunch' just because they made every student in he grade right a report about that happened at lunch, and 2 students out of the whole grade mentioned the kids names, even if it wasn't directly stating what they had done. The accused students tried explaining to the teachers but the main teacher Ms. Hartline didn't want to listen because she had already made up her mind. The students had to have a SEATING CHART for LUNCH for 2 WEEKS. Shows how biased the teachers are, i recommend not going here and going to Gavilan Peak"

"Kids being bullied. Offender(s) has no consequences. Court orders not followed. They will overlook details just to get kids in (UPS store as home address). After all it's the #s that bring the funding. Some really great teachers and 2-3 kind office personnel. Not sure how much is just lip service though. Smiling faces"

"It's very sad how bullying is just allowed to be continued in this school. Filing reports, speaking with the teacher and office staff accomplishes nothing. Some of the teachers and speech pathologists are excellent and deserve a big pat on the back. I'm so happy my grandchildren will be finished there this May and will be going to a better school in the fall, where bullying is NOT tolerated, and there is a lot more discipline and structure. A child should NEVER lie awake at night dreading school the next day, and come home crying day after day."

"don't go here, teachers are sexist and are prejudice against select students, they even deprive you of your right to go to the bathroom. One student Hayden berg was accused of assault for throwing a grape in the lunch room. teachers accuse students of lying also even when they tell the truth. this school is bad... Teachers pay attention to certain students. The rest could do what they please without being noticed. This school is a prison, except you get worse food"
