  • Honestly, the health and wellness situation at Saucedo is pretty frustrating. The chronic absenteeism rate is close to 30%, which is a huge red flag for me—it feels like kids are constantly out sick and the school just can't get a handle on it. The student-teacher ratio is also pretty high, so when my kid has a minor health issue or feels off, I feel like it gets completely overlooked because the staff is just too stretched thin. I've seen some board reports about facility maintenance transfers, which makes me worry about the actual state of the building and things like ventilation or deep cleaning. It definitely doesn't feel like the 'clean and safe' environment they promise in the handbooks.
