Jose De Jesus and Maria Luisa Vega Elementary School

Posted June 11, 2007

My Daughter is a current Vega Student, we are taking the summer months to list and sell our house so that we can be rid of this school. The sole emphasis is placed on preparing for the tests. The lunch program is nauseating, the extracurricular programs are poorly thought out. The school and adjoining park has developed a very 'thuggish' atmosphere with which the administration and police seem unconcerned. Students with behavioral problems are coddled and tolerated at the expense of good students. Think twice before enrolling.

My children have been here for 3 years. I loved this school. The teachers were wonderful. The support staff was great also. Its a shame we had to move. I couldn't ask for a better school. They did a lot of fun after school activities. The picnic in the park was lots of fun. They all star celebrations were great with the No Mam band playing. The kids loved it! My daughter learned so much being here. Her grades went up as well. Im gonna miss VEGA!

The school was not so great, but I don't blame teachers. I blame the school system in general and the 'No Child Left Behind Act' which happens to leave all children behind and only sounds good. I removed my children and placed them in home school. Parents should really stop looking at the smiles on the teacher's faces and enquire about the curriculum.

Vega Elementary is a great place to work and have my child attend. He is nurtured by an outstanding staff that takes the time to challenge him and accent the positives he possesses.
