Cimarron Elementary School, K-6 (Public)

Cimarron is very poor for advance stusdents. education is not a high priority for the teaching staff.

I have a great opinion of this elementary school. Unfortunately, my two boys have had to attend 6 schools, this one by far has provided the best for them. The school has strict policies and rules that are enforced. The classrooms are new, clean, and have good teachers. My children did better with the higher expectations placed upon them from that school. Hope this helps.

This is my second time through, The first was when the school first opened, I would not have given it very high marks by the time my first child was done. Now however, I feel that the quality of the staff has improved greatly!

good school but lacks extra activities such as band and sports

Coming from LA Unified School District in the San Fernando Valley I am very disapointed with Cimarron Elementary. I feel that they are very behind with achieving good test results. The teachers need to be involved more and take the time with the children helping them understand their classwork. Most of them close their classrooms and their ears as soon as the bell rings. They offer Math classes to the parents after hours but can't take the time to help the students. Is it that difficult to take a few minutes after school and help the students? I am lucky to be an at home Mom but what about all of those other hard working parents that are not able to help their children?

I feel over-all it's an above average school in most areas but more attention needs to dedicated to student behavior.

It does not appear that the child's education is the main priority at this school. There are no accomodations for advanced children. My children attended one semester and I am not pleased at all. My spouse and I are currently looking for other means of school because we do not want them to return to Cimarron.

I was disappointed with the academic level of this school. I have 3 children, grades 1, 4, and 6, the older 2 had repeat and slowed learning from the previous year of schooling (they transferred to Cimarron) and my kindergartener encountered 4 new teachers in that first year. School looks nice, but progress is slow. Parental involvement was relatively low. The manners of school children and the disrespect of teachers was appalling. I opted out and began homeschooling.

the school is newly blt 2004. computer labs and new gym. my child in special ed. 1st semeser there. compared to previous school special ed for 5 yrs. lab time more structured and educational at previous school. more activies for his involvment at previous school.

Cimarron is very clean and comfortable. Most of the teachers are really great and they have a strong GATE program, recognizing and meeting the needs of these special students. Lots of parent volunteers, both in the classroom and in PTA and other groups. The principal is supportive of both his staff and the parents. Consistent discipline of problem students could be better.

My comments relate to my expreience with Kindergarten grade level. I would like to see more notification from the PTA for it's members to inform them when the meetings are held. As a member, I have yet to be notified of a meeting,although I was informed and attended PTA sponsored functions.
