Along with a new principal a new feel has taken over the school and not for the better. Parent's do not feel like they are being listened too. Students are being yelled at by staff and what used to be what was in the best interest for the student is no longer the case. If they don't fit in they go to the back of the class and are humiliated daily by peers and teachers and it has become acceptable. This is where we should nourish our children no matter what the 'fault's' of the child are. Wake up parents get involved and fight for your child. My child will no longer attend Fruitvale and that is what we feel is best for them. Someone needs to get a hold on Fruitvale!

from our first day of school at fruitvale to our last the teachers and staff treated my kids great. the teachers dressed much more professional then our previous school in the district. the staff cares about the kids and their well being. it is not just a job or a pay check for them. i miss the staff since we moved out of state.

Fruitvale offers an art curriculum, as well as a high quality music and physical education program. There is a unique staff at this school that cares deeply for its students and for each other.

I believe the teachers at fruitvale don't push the students hard enough and also challenge the students more. Music and Art are available to the students. Sports is very limited, they do have physical education. At 1 time the parent involvement was much better but now with a new principal in place that seems to have gone away. I also believe if the teachers were there to teach instead of taking all these teacher planning days and such, the scores would be much higher. The summer months when school is out of session should be the time for these teachers to plan there school year. Most of us parents work full time with only 1-2 weeks vacation a year. When I went to school there wasn't all this teacher planning day stuff, we went to school with none of those type days off for so called teacher planning.
