I think alondra school is a really good school to go to.the teachers are really nice and good at teaching.ever since i came to this school in the 4th grade nothing but good things happened to me. the teachers really want us to do a great job in our life and they care for us alot! they want whats best for us and they dont want to see us slacking off in school or anything else. i really like alondra school and if i was you i would enroll your child in this school the teachers will help your children achieve. even though im an 8th grader and i'll be leaving this school its still a great school and a very very fun atmosphere. so enroll your child today! and you'll see what i mean.

Alondra
This school leaves much to be desired. Enroll your child at your own risk...cause the staff and district really dont know what there are doing. If you have to take your child here, make sure you investigate and keep in contact with the teacher. They will take no extra steps to involve you even if they should - unless forced. Special ed kids and parents - STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL- If you do, you will need a lawyer.
