I absolutely love Alta Elementary School. When we move to Murrieta I had a concern that my oldest daughter had dyslexia and when I enroll her in Alta I let them know and they offer to make an assessment. They did a lot of tests in the first weeks of school and have a meeting to explain the results, they were so helpful and professional. I also have twins in TK and they had the best teacher in the world. We are very grateful to the staff they are always kind and graceful with our kids and we as parents can't ask for more.

I attended Alta when I was a child, K-5, my sisters as well. I have lifelong memories of my teachers and my education which were all nothing but amazing. My son (who is 16 now) attended, and my daughter is going into first grade this year 2022, after finishing kindergarten At Alta with one of THE best kindergarten teachers I've ever met. I not only highly recommend this school, but its literally the best you'll find in this community. Big thanks to Mr. Brown who is a legend there, one of the first bilingual teachers in the school district at that time I believe, Mrs. McKenzie who was my kindergarten teacher, and last but never least Mrs. Henderson for helping my daughter so much!!! Plus, many many more. This school is beyond amazing. Thank you all and I still have my mustang spirit!! Love and many thanks!

We have had a great experience. Teachers communicate effectively and always encourage parent participation. You will see an improvement in your child's academic performance and application in this school.

This school is really great., however the dropping off and picking up of students is awful! No one is out there to tell the drop off parents not to just sit in in their cars until little darling has safely made it thru the gate in the am, rather they hold up the entire line of cars behind them. In the afternoon, you have people parking in the one handicapped spot by MPR who have no placards, which is illegal. The situation is ridiculous!! Get someone to make the traffic move, and make it safe for the kids! This is the worst parent pick- up and drop-off I've ever seen. Other parents streak thru the staff lot at over 30 miles an hour to get a spot to pick up . Someone WILL get hurt if nothing is done and SOON!!!!!!

My children are in 4th grade this year at Alta, and have attended since Kindergarten. We absolutely love it! We have had an amazing teacher every single year. On top of that, the librarian, the front office staff, principal, and also the campus monitors take a genuine interest in making sure our children are thriving. They have club coaches/staff that dedicate time to supporting our children (even evenings and weekends) that some parents struggle to even find time doing balancing work and life. I recommend this school to any parent that wants their child to have a top notch education. Thank you Alta for giving my children and I an amazing experience with elementary school!!!
