Arlington Heights is a great school. I’ve been very impressed. My firstgrader has been learning math and vocabulary far exceeding my expectations for first grade and he loves learning and going to school. They still do recess, PE and Art/music also! Great principal and teachers.

This school is leading the pack in STEAM education in the Citrus Heights area, and really in San Juan as a whole. There is a lot of initiative shown by leadership and teachers to give students diverse and quality educational opportunities which better prepares them for future schooling and potential careers. I have seen many students flourish under the current climate and school community and truly believe that everyone at Arlington Heights is working to give the students an innovative and top-notch educational experience.

Love this school. This is our second year here. My daughter has excelled to great heights in her learning. The teachers are very personal and work great with the students. The school is going to be a STEAM school next year which focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. My daughters are very excited to work with all the technology and experiments.

Awful, Awful Experience at this School! Enrolled my Child at this school a mth shy of her 5th Birthday! Going in I was nervous and told the teachers I had No problem whatsoever with her repeating Kindergarten if they felt it would benefit her! So, the yr came to an end and we all made the decision to have her repeat! With 2 years of Kindergarten under her belt, for 1st Grade, they decide to stick her in a K/1st! So, basically a 3rd yr of Kindergarten! Was Sooooooo Unhappy about that! The Principal is Beyond Awful! Told her my Daughter had a Seizure over Winter Break and was admitted into the Hospital and that we needed to get a Emergency Plan into place for staff and to please tell her teacher, she did NONE of these! In fact because she did NOT listen to me, I feel my Daughters life may have been in danger! She was Very Rude and Cold! Not very Kid Or Parent Friendly either! I am Sooooo Thankful I got my Child out of that School! Would Never recommend Arlington Heights to anyone!!!

Our child used to LOVE school, advanced in many areas, social, and thrives quickly in nearly all facets of life, yet by 3rd grade, she quickly lost motivation at this school. Unfortunately, the teachers (in our experience) spend more time with discipline and telling the students to be quiet than finding creative ways to control the learning environment. With 35 kids per class, that's nearly 35 times every 10 minutes, they are telling each kid to be quiet. If a child just plays tag at recess and touches another child, they will write he/she up as "aggressive, bullying behavior." (more than 8 families we know experienced this, too). Many children have cried being labeled like that by adults they respected. They have no flexibility with allowing young children to be young. This school was a big regret, and we're very happy to no longer go here. I'm sure there are great teachers, but we never experienced any. This school has a lot of older, impatient educators who have no grasp on how to make learning fun. We spent nearly 3 hrs. a day on learning in a fun way at home to make up for the lack of education from this school. Discovery Club(paid after school program)was awesome, though!

My daughter loves school and learning but does not get any support or enthusiasm from her current teacher, Ms. Blauser. I have heard nothing but negative things about this teacher and she actively avoids me when I am at the school . The principal is nice but not very proactive in helping to foster better relationships with the teachers and parents. The best teacher we had so far was Ms. Cornu, whom I wouldn't say gives you the warm fuzzies, but is excellent in keeping an organized class and letting the kids have the right amount of fun. Ms.Cornu really helped many of the students excel in the strong suits and helped in the problem areas. So far, not too impressed with the rest of the school.

At Arlington Heights Elementary School, the academic year started with enthusiasm and change while our school funding is at such a crisis level and limited resources morale may be at an all time low for many. However, at Arlington Heights hope remains for the future of our children. My daughter s teacher s haven faced the challenge of taking our "babies" from the nurturing introduction of education into the advancement of learning. This was done with encouragement in the process with discipline, knowledge and commitment the schools role and excitement about learning. The school implements a solid structure that is consistent with state standards, interesting and delivers our school district with excellence. Unfortunately, fundraising is extremely flat in our community. While this school has most children below poverty level it is still a darling, happy and positive place for them to spend their day learning. This is a perfect example where one can still see the charm and dedication at our neighborhood school. With an extraordinary school like Arlington Heights we are building a better future for our community and children one class at a time. My child considers her teachers as people to admire, respect and care for. We are fortunate. With extremely limited resources and very few extra curricular activities the teachers at this school have championed their efforts to succeed at educating our children as well as winning over the children's hearts.
