Poor leadership skills: Lack of organization. No clear objectives and goals for teachers. Unprofessional, dishonest, and terrible communicator. Non-supportive, hostile working environment. This school needs a strong leader who cares about the students and teachers.
This school is great and the resource specialist, teachers, and staff really do their best to help the students.
Review pertains to Hammer Montessori, now merged with Galarza. My son has attended Hammer Montessori since kindergarten. Now since closed and merged with Galarza Elementary, Hammer's montessori program is barely hanging on at the new campus. With an integration of almost 1,000 students, the atmosphere is no longer appropriate for successful montessori theory to be applied. I have been unhappy with the lack of communication between staff and parents. With severe budget cuts, they do not go on field trips. Overall, we don't feel that our son is receiving enough structure and concentrated learning time in order to pass. He is now in 2nd grade. I have spoken with many other parents that have students the same age as my son, who are now behind and are struggling to catch up. It leaves me to question the self-motivating atmosphere of a montessori classroom belonging in public schools.
