Ponderosa Elementary School

this school was my childhood and I hope to at least work as a janitor there so I can walk down memory lane of all the pure fun I had. this very school made me want to learn more about the world I live in.

Very good school. Teaches you lots of good and fun things. Get to go to things in fifth grade

I love it here because it has different kinds of things to teach children

I liked the special Ed teachers they seemed nice.. My son has special needs. So we had an iep. At first everyone seemed to be on the same page to getting my child the help he needed. The principal was nice at first but then after a while she would see me and just stare at me with a disgusted look. I can't read minds but actions tell me a lot. A lady that actually represented the cherry creak schools came to a meeting she was very professional and seem very interested in helping me get the help my son needed. As for the classroom environment I sat in a couple times it was so overwhelming. I don't know how the teacher managed. 3rd grade kids where using explicit language flipping the teacher off. Racial slurs . Teacher was nice but nice doesn't teach children. It seemed to me that they put all the minority in one class and I was told they put the challenging kids in one class. After sitting in the class and not seeing much racial divirctey . I had to ask again and the earlier statement had been retracted . Teachers are discipline them making them eat with the lights off. Making them stand on wall for recess . Whole classrooms even grade. If they would use fun ways of learning. Like building listening skills and leadership skills and working together in a positive manner to build up these precious children . If you want your child to be prepared for prison send them here. If your child has to go here team up with parents take back the lives of these children. Be prepared to fight for the lives of these kids .

The tree at the top of the hill by the stoplight... i planted that circa 1993. I didn't start hating school until Prairie Middle School, so thanks Ponderosa!
