La Paloma Academy - Lakeside Campus

I am so impressed with the teachers and staff at La Paloma Academy. My 4th grade sons were new to the school this year (because we moved) and they have new friends, like their teachers and are enjoying school. They just joined a club afterschool and they wish it was everyday. Mrs. Mensing, their teacher, is amazing. She has so much patience with the children and keeps me up to date on what they're working on at school. They both have Dyslexia, so they have IEP's. The special ed. teachers are fabulous, especially Mrs. South. Their reading has improved so much in just a few months! You can tell that the teachers at La Paloma really care about the children and take the time to get to know them.

My daughter did 2 years here kinder and 1st grade she needed more than a 504 which did nothing to help they refused to give her the iep help she needed when asked why cant she get iep help they said they dont provide that service which is the sorriest excuse Ive ever heard but its ok I thought no school is perfect but theres more issues here they are CONSTANTLY in your wallet attempting to get more money from you they do NOT provide ANY school supplies at all they sell snacks and supplies to the kid they sell field trips they sell you summer school WHICH is 1200 bucks so this year I thought Id try something different and put her in a TUSD school with a free after school program which is more than just recess like la Palomas and I can say Im blown away with Ochoa she gets FREE breakfast lunch and dinner with the FREE JOHN VALENZULA program and she was tested for her iep on day 1 and smaller class sizes so she gets more individually attention and FREE supplies I bought her stuff because I was used to la Paloma ridiculous wishlist items but she doesnt even need it Ochoa supplied EVERYTHING la Paloma gets money from the state AND from tuition from parents they should be able to afford basic things for the kids but since its actually a business not a school they DO NOT CARE Im not saying Public schools are better but la Paloma is definitely not the answer sorry
