Review Balboa Elementary School
Overall Rating 
1 Rating(s) Submitted- Reviewed by a Parent/Guardian on December 15, 2008 (Rating: 1 / 5) Report As Inapropriate
- As far as education goes this school is fine. However, culturally and socially this school is HORRIBLE.
There is almost zero diversity at Balboa and students who are picked on for not being part of the majority get very little support from the faculty in those matters. I was even told that if I want my child to fit in I should enroll him in classes where he can learn to speak Armenian. The administrative staff has been unfriendly, unhelpful and even hostile at times and the lack of supervision after school is ridiculous. Children are allowed to wander out of the gates without anyone watching.
