We have two children that go to Fruitvale as 4th graders and have been going there since they were 2nd graders and i will honestly say that it has been an absolute blessing that our kids were able to attend Fruitvale. Myself and my wife are both full time working parents and we have gotten nothing but "The Best" support from Ms Brooks an her staff at Fruitvale Elementary. Ms. Brooks and her staff are always so quick to notify us if there is anything going on with either one of our children at school. Their staff have welcomed my children in with open arms and i feel like our children are like family at Fruitvale. One of our kids is an I.E.P student and Ms Brooks and her staff have gone above an beyond in helping both our children to reach their prespective goals while at Fruitvale. Myself and my wife have driven around the immediate area here in Hemet looking at other elementary schools and we can honestly say that there is no other place where we would want our kids to attend elementary school. #fruitvaleisthebest#

Fruitvale is simply the best! The office staff is absolutely amazing. The Principal is caring and understanding and the teachers are really supportive. From what I've seen over the past few years are more and more parents who are rude, can't get their kids to school on time, and are completely inconsiderate when it comes to the drop off and pick up procedures. I think that if more of the parents would be decent humans then our kids would have a much more pleasant and successful elementary school experience. I volunteer quite a bit at the school and see just what the office manager and the principal deal with. I am appauled by some of the families that have moved into town. Get involved - POSITIVELY - with your children's future and don't look to pass the buck or the blame onto the school... Thank you Fruitvale staff for all that you do for our children and for the community!

Pretty amazing detective work. The principal was in my room for 40 minutes meeting with 5 individual student regarding their state test scores, class behavior, and homework completion. The students have a twenty minute morning recess, 40 minutes of PE twice a week, and 10 minutes after they finish their lunch. Also we have a part-time assistant principal that also teaches PE. The administrators are required to attend meetings at the district office during the school day and complete reports, do teacher evaluations, discipline, approve every small activity, purchase, and monitor student progress. Military strategy tells us that the effective "span of control" is seven and that effectiveness diminishes after that. With thirty-eight teachers plus support staff and a full compliment of students, anyone that looks at the site objectively would be impressed.

Is it really so difficult for the principal and other staff to remove themselves from the desk and go personally speak with a child? Or maybe its that the staff doesn't really know where any particular child is at any given time because children spend a considerable amount of their day on the playground. Shame on you for dismissing community members opinions and claiming they are "disgruntled". It's everyone business in Hemet to build a safe, strong, and educated community and that starts with the Elementary schools. Oh and Fruitvale Elementary ranked 3648th out of 5186 elementary schools in CA in 2011. Yeah real "top notch".
