They do not answer the phone and notify things at the last minute. Totally disappointed.
I made a transfer and they told me that everything was ready and that they had saved a space for my child in Pre-k3 for the afternoon and just a few days before starting school and after buying his uniforms and materials, they come to notify me that there is no space for him. I called several to the school and they don't answer.

No contestan el teléfono y notifican las cosas a última hora. Totalmente desilusionada.
Hice una transferencia y me dijeron que estaba todo listo y que le habían guardado un espacio para mi niño en Pre-k3 para en la tarde y a tan solo unos días de comenzar la escuela y luego de comprarle sus uniformes y materiales, vienen a notificarme que no hay espacio para él. Llamé varias a la escuela y no contestan.

VERY unprofessional setting the teachers and principal Smith do not know how to run a school professionally very immature teachers. They need to really look into the administration of this school.

Honestly I witnessed the principle fighting for a parking spot at a differently school. Completely rude and even told workers from the campus who where trying to park in their assigned parking "do you know who i am?!"
When confronting them and then taking it to the other staff by saying "my side is the only right side" and even threatened to email higher ups over a DUMB PARKING SPOT that the staff PAYS FOR THEMSELVES. Sad and pathetic.

Schools has tremendously gone downhill since it became a fine arts academy. The school stated they would choose an activity they want to learn, then they never got to choose. They have to do whatever they say and don't get to focus on a fine arts of their choice. New principle hires piano teachers that don't stay and they let teachers take 6 months plus of maternity leave and expect kids to behave with a constant change of substitute teachers. They have a whole auditorium but do all the songs and dances in the gym. If your kids gets injured during a drill they wont even answer their door for you to pick up your child so you can take them to the Urgent care, which is child endangerment in my opinion. This current Principle needs to go and get someone who can get the school in order . I miss what it was and hate where it is. Ive left messages to contact me but of course they avoid calling back. I just haven't been happy with anything this year . it sucks we have to have a public school system I know is failing our kids, but what can we do? We have to put them in certain schools based on our zip code. I hope the school board reads this and take it to heart there are many of us that feel this way but no one says anything.

Its Jun 30th,2022 and I just got a phone message stating that Paso Del Norte Elementary school will receive an additional 250 students because it is now an arts academy well I want to say this is ridiculous because as it is we as parents have a hard time parking to pick up our children every day this school does not provide a proper parking or pick up areas for our children. Also it is a very stressful situation parking to drop them off in the morning. The school is over the comfortable amount of children it should accommodate, yet they add 250 more!?!?! 😠 PSN was already at full capacity. If you are going to do something like that, you need to fix the problem of how kids are picked at this school. I usually have to get there 20-30 minutes and park earlier so i can pick up my child at a descent time. So unorganized and of course they are doing for money. 😠

Probably my favorite school ever all the 5th grade teachers are really nice and cool (beside when mad)

I absolutely love the fine arts here, however behavior and discipline needs work. I have seen students attack students and have gotten no discipline.

Awesome school but wish they would give us electronics instead of books and a backpack
