Our daughter started in the dual immersion program in kindergarten. She had a wonderful teacher, Ms. Sisco, and her test scores were top of class in both languages. She is now in the 1st grade and has already hit her markers in reading and math for 1st grade. So far she’s doing great. Ms, Braley is a wonderful principal who really cares about her students. The school encourages parents to be actively involved in school activities and the kids seem to love learning and going to school. I don’t know what things were like a few years ago, but we love Coldwater Canyon.

This school integrates technology into all aspects of the curriculum. These students are working on 21st century skills. In addition, the teachers go out of their way to plan engaging lessons in STEAM! Coldwater Canyon is an excellent school.

I'm a parent and the whole time that my daughter has attended this school it has been a nightmare!!!!! Starting with the "so cal principal" She is a ridiculous lady that wants to enforce all these unnecessary rules! My daughter has been bullied more than once and I have gone to the principal's office and all she says she could do is to tell the kids to be friends and to not put hands on each other. Some of the teachers don't even speak English properly! I've had it with this school system!

I will say that I LOVE the principal. She's positive, energetic, concerned, and easy to talk to. I like the fact that you won't find her locked away in her office, wearing a suit and scheduling appointments. She's very involved in what's going on on campus. That said, Ms. Stevens is about the ONLY thing I like about the school. As the parent of a kindergartner, my son's teacher is forever focusing on his negatives, though he has shown INCREDIBLE improvement since the start of the school year. The school is AWFUL about communicating vacation days and early releases, and they no longer offer the after school program to the lower grades. My son will NOT be back next year, even if I have to home school him.

I just want to say that my daughters attend Coldwater Canyon Elementary and I just love this school. I'm also a parent volunteer and I love helping the students and teachers in whatever they need. This is a great school and the teachers are wonderful. I'm very impress with the principal Mrs. Stephens, she does a wonderfull job at encouraging the students every morning. Also the food they give the students is good and healthy. Its a very clean school and hard working too. If you are looking for a school for your schildren to start, this is a great one to have in mind.
