I went to this school as a kid and I absolutely loved it, the current principal was my principal back in the day and she is amazing with the kids. i felt it really prepared me for middle school at the time and the school over all just has a sense of family, everyone just got along. I attend Cal State Fullerton studying Mechanical Engineering and to this day I still look back to the days of how an amazing school it was.

The office staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The principal is very involved. My son is in first grade and both his kindergarten teacher and 1st grade teachers have been great at teaching him, communicating with me and focusing on any areas he needed a little more help with.

I love this school my son did 2 years of pre-school and is now in Kindergarten with Ms Lambardo who is amazing I feel she pushes the kids potential in a very good way and gives them home work and or assignments that encourage parent involvement. Over all the staff and principal are all very friendly and helpful. I have also noticed the school is very clean.

i have mixed feelings about the school. Don't get me wrong it's a good school. Both my kids love it but in another hand I just don't think they praise the kids enough that have certain disability. My older child was labeled as a "problem child" because of his kindergarten teacher. Parents don't think they don't have a system for all the kids. I also don't think that giving awards to just "good" students is fair. How about kids that do have disability but doesn't get recognized. My child has been going to this school for 4 yrs and not once did he receive an award for his hard work. He turns in his homework everyday tries his best but is never recognized for it. I understand he is impulsive but that's part of having ADHD. I feel bad every time my younger child gets an award and my older one doesnt. He will always ask me how come he does not get one. What do i tell him, your teacher doesn't think you are good enough? Even though i know he has been trying. But as a parent all i can tell him is we just have to try harder even it's upsetting to see. I think all kids should be recognized and awarded not just in academics.

Anyone could have reported you...a neighbor, a family member, a colleague, etc. Teachers are mandated reporters. You are misinformed about the responsibilities of the school and the teachers. Safety is first and foremost for all of our students. This is an excellent school and we put children first!!!

My son is in kindergarten here and he loves it so much, he wishes he could go on the weekends too! My daughter is also going here in the 5th grade and she's enjoying it as well!
