Tierra Buena Elementary School
I pulled my children from this school this year (7th gr.), in my opinion and evaluation, the teachers are not committed, the staff is rude, the upper staff are unremarkable, and there is a big push to lable a child Special Ed, when the child is far from it, and is capable of being a straight A student. My children now attend a Charter School, and are thriving. Straight A's.
