Sunshine Elementary Charter School & Paragon Academy Middle School

the food is soooo bad

Great school. The environment is perfect for young students. They love being there. Dr. Montes is tough. He expects excellence and commitment from every employee.

My son went there a few years ago and his teacher, Ms. Santiago was the best. She was what I call a “real teacher”. She was patient and encouraging which is hard to find in teachers now days, sadly. Too many just want a job with summers off. I was so sad to have had to move away because he was boundaries for another school after that and he hasn’t had but one real teacher since and that was 5 years ago. If you’re reading this, thank you Miss Santiago!

To be honest, this school had its ups and downs, but its okay... the things that really bothered me was the staff.. I can see that the staff and the principal’s behavior towards the kids has changed, I can kind’ve see for the reviews... But before that it was complete chaos! Kids kept fighting and fighting, the staff and principal even had favorites! FAVORITES! Now dealing with children is kinda hard, personally I know, considering how big my family is, but we don't get to have favorites. Your treating some kids differently than your treating other kids! Plus, the physical contact! The staff is always putting their hands on kids, taking their lunch.. it’s rude and disgusting! One time on the first day of school I saw the principal putting HIS hand on a child’s body, god knows what he was saying to him, but luckily the mom came and told him off...nnMay I also talk about the condition of the school, turns out in aftercare I went to the window to hangout with my friend and I saw so many termite wings! That is disgusting, and also unbelievable seeing how long the school has been around, has anyone not noticed it? Also, considering how quick staff come and go out of no where is unbelievable, and it’s always the nicest ones, but what is really odd is that there is one particular staff member that people would call the most “rudest” has been working there for forever! And how quick the principal takes sides with them, there was also this one time where that same staff member was encouraging my class to hit their kids when their older! That is absolutely cruel, telling them how to raise their kids?! Wow...to be honest, writing this is making me absolutely mad! Here are some tips about how to not to get in trouble with them.. 1. So you might be thinking “oh so their bad, and I need to confront them!” No do not, all you need to do is say “Hi” and walk away 2. Do not say anything that would make them feel offended.. 3: the last one is that if any of them put THEIR hands on you without your consent, just tell your parents and get them fired! Bye.. I hope they improve that school tremendously! God bless them! (Btw, they have 2 churches next to them! Someone help them get baptized.. again if they need to..)

This School is nice but they need to stop the bullying and they need to stop favoritism
