“My daughter has been going to menlo since pre-k. She loves that school so much. Until know she has learn a lot. She has had great teacher that take out the best in her. She loves to read. My experince in this school has been wonderful. I hopefully that it will stay this way until she grauduate. The only problem I have is with staff and how they run the school. They dont have to act to mean when a pareant approach them to ask for information. We as pareant need the help of the school staff. I will really want to see a change in this situation as a concern pareant.”

“I had a daughter that went to that school in the 3rd grade. And her experience there was not plesant at all. The teacher had no control of that classroom and most of students there were out of control especially with the language. They are lacking in books for the children and proper guidence in that school. I know the principal and his staff does their best at Menlo but its up to the parents to take part in their childs education as well as the school district and school board. To learn to handle serious situations in a timely manner and not wait unitl it gets out of hand. Overall it can be a great school if the parents and school officals can come together and agree on what to do to make Menlo a better place to be. Have a plan and stick with it no matter what.”
