Peruvian Park Elementary School

My son began here in fist grade (this year) in the SALTA program. Mrs. Merchant was his teacher, and we are so lucky to have had her. She went above and beyond to make sure the learning was maximized for every student. She came up with an individual chart for my son, which I appreciate her extra work to best help him stay on task. I am confident that the other teachers will be superb as well.

Our experience here has been mixed, it has been good for my daughter in the SALTA program but not so much for my son in Kindergarten. One BIG problem we have is that we live outside the school district and the school system wont allow our kids to use the bus. Some of the teachers are rude and the principal puts the teachers first and us second when addressing problems.

The director ALICE PECK is a big danger to families in the area and students. she has given legal advise to unauthorized individuals. One mother whom was in a very dangerous situation and had left an abusive relationship was placed in a very critical situation. When ALICE PECK illegally added her abuser to pick up and visit with a 6 year old child without the permission of the initial parent whom registered the child. This women not only gave herself the right to do this but also gave this dangerous individual illegal advise, regarding his rights as a parent. She did all this, because this individual showed a birth certificate. Which does not give any type of legal rights to a parent without a legal COURT ORDER which would state the rights of that individual concerning the child. This lady needs to be closely monitored as she could possibly be in the wrong field. Many parents have similar concerns regarding ALICE PECK. The mother, in this situation has not been able to return her child back to school due to fear of the father showing up again and taking the child. ALICE PECK not only did all this without the permission of the mother but called The mother and told her that she had no right to deprive this individual from seeing the child, and that she had taken it upon her self to add this person to pick up and visit with the child!!! Parents please make sure you know your rights to make sure a power hungry individual like this doesn't get their power rush with you.

My child has attended Peruvian Park for two years. The teachers are phenomenal, the office staff is responsible, courteous, and welcoming, and the parent volunteers are extremely involved and generous with their time. I am very happy with the education my child is receiving.

Great school, very nicely loved working the neighborhood, teachers are top notch. It's also a SALTA school which is very nice for student diversity.
