Stewart Elementary School

This school is the worst. My kids have been there for 6 years now and have learned nothing, other than its okay for teachers and students to be bullies. And once you hit middle school, don’t expect to actually learn anything. I wouldn’t suggest this school to anyone. Love the location, it is hidden away from traffic, etc. but you won’t learn much here. And there is no concern for safety. With all the news stories about school shootings, kids being taken from schools, etc, you would think they’d be concerned with safety. Nope. The school is wide open, ²⁴⁄₇. Anyone can walk right in. And where most schools, the younger kids get walked out by teachers to be sure they actually get to their own parents… not here. The bell rings and there isn’t a teacher to be seen. Not a principal, no one. Kids go home with whoever they want and no one pays any attention. Stay away from Elizabeth Stewart K-​8. And if you do go there, take your child out before the get into middle school. I am removing my younger kids before they get Ms. Smith as a teacher. She is awful.
Edited to Add ⁰¹⁄₂₀₁₄ I’ve heard that Ms Smith was let go. And the principal was replaced. Good news. My kids still won’t be returning.

I came here years ago for elementary school and middle school. I didn’t really like this school for many reasons. The teachers are rude and the students are always dramatic. I remember when I was in the 4^th grade-​8^th grade I was told I wasn’t allowed into the music program there such as band. Which was messed up. I showed interest being in band and I was told by the teacher I can’t. What the heck? I don’t know if band is still going there.
Lastly, when middle school came, it was a lot worst. Some teachers are nice and some are rude. The students are still dramatic. I remember this teacher who is always negative about me. I don’t remember her name. She told me that I won’t graduate high school, or make it into college. If I saw that teacher again, I will tell her «look, you said that I won’t graduate high school or make it into college, look at me today, I graduated high school and I graduated from a university»
So there are better elementary schools around the area such as Ellerhorst and Collins. I wouldn’t recommend sending your child here for middle school. I would send them to Pinole middle.
