Providencia Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-05-21 “My daughter started kindergarten this school year. She loves the school - her teacher, Ms. Magner, and most of the staff that she comes into contact with. I am very happy with her reading, math, and science concepts learned this school year. She is very excited about learning and can't wait for school to resume in the fall. I would recommend this school to everyone!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-09-14 “My child no longer goes to this school. One positive was they have great community programs. The office staff is hardworking, but it's an unfriendly atmosphere. There afterschool program didn't emphasize on doing homework and it created more work for us as we work full-time. Two years in a row my child had a substitute teachers a couple months before school ended due to pregnancy. They didn't follow the same rigorous program and rules as their primary teachers and it caused my kid to fall behind in certain areas because of the lack of continuity with times tables, etc.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-09-13 “I am a very disappointed parent of two children who have attended this school. I settled for this school because it is closer to me so I am part to blame for not doing my research. Though this school has some great teachers, and has potential to be a good school, it almost seems like the interests of the children are put aside ( no A/C in some rooms ) The atmosphere of this school is very sad compared to others that I have visited in the district where you could feel and see the warmth of the staff and children. I had to pull my child out of there and he actually likes going to school where he is now. I won't make the same mistake when he goes to middle school and will try for open enrollment for my younger one next year.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-06-06 “My son started Kindergarten this last year and has been very happy in his class. His teacher, Ms. Hofman, is highly qualified and the interaction she has with the children is extremely positive for them. Academically, my son has done so well. I am extremely happy that my son has had such a nice experience his Kindergarten year.

The principal is a very aggressive and in some points rude. She expects a Stafford child otherwise she will recommend the student to the districts program call 'outreach'. My child s efforts were not recognized and never heard a positive word from his teacher or principal.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-10-16 “From my child's first day at this school I was able to see that the school wasn't warm and receptive. The teacher's are unprofessional and the overall feeling was that this is an unhappy staff. My child's efforts went unrecognized and the teacher never had a positive word to say. She scowled over her students everyday. Actually, the experience caused my child trouble personally and academically.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2004-04-29 “The enrichment programs are virtually non-existent. With a school district such as Burbank, the resources are available; however the district, community and administrator must realize the needs of not just the English-limited students, but the student body as a whole.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2003-11-06 “At Providencia the focus seems to be on the English learners, and the parents of English learners. We have outstanding teachers, and support staff, as well as our PTA, which make great things happen each year.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2003-09-17 “From what I have seen, there are some really excellent teachers at this school. Unfortunately, it seems as though all resources at the school are used towards raising test scores and providing help for underachieving students. I cannot think of any existing enrichment programs. This school has the potential (because of the teachers) to be an excellent school, but must focus on the needs of all students.”
