Ada Vista Elementary School

Culteral diversity is accepted and enforced... Bullying is widespread and rampant and and very much accepted as long as you continue your donations. Please let others know your story so future families realize this is not the school it was 5 years ago and maybe sr santillian/sra. whittland will begin enforcing anti bullying plans and save this once great school.
