Little Britain Elementary School

Our experience at Little Britain Elementary school was by far the worst of any school that we’ve enrolled our son into. My husband is in the military and travels a lot, so we inquired about eating lunch with our son and/​or visiting his class when my husband returns from his assignments to surprise our son but to check on him as well. Principal Sagrario Rudecindo-O’Neill was very unprofessional and condescending during our one and only telephone conversation. She stated that we could not visit for the SAFETY of the students and kept referring to the FERPA policy. Safety didn’t seem to be an issue when several parents were allowed to enter the school and classrooms to make pancakes for the students and doggie treats during the holidays. After speaking with the Asst Superintendent and reading the policy myself, I found out that FERPA has nothing to do with the safety of the students, but was implemented to safeguard the records of students. The woman who stands at the desk during afternoon pick up and gives out visitor passes during the day was extremely rude and inattentive. She would often allow kids to run from the building during dismissal, while their parents had barely started up the walkway to sign them out. Sometimes this was seen during times of heavy traffic.
We never really had an issue with the teacher, but with a class of 25, he couldn’t really give our son the attention that we expected. Our son was not excited about going to school or learning and he was often quite bored at this school! We were beyond excited when our son was accepted into an awesome private school and we were able to disenroll him from Little Britain Elementary School.
