Wonderful little neighborhood elementary school with amazing teachers.

Overall, we had a good experience at Alamosa this year. My child enjoyed going to school most days and felt supported by staff and the teacher. I was disappointed that the teacher didn’t believe my child when they reported being given a diagnosis that affects their school and interpersonal performance. This didn’t affect my child’s overall experience but did have some negative lasting affects. I hope this doesn’t happen to other kids in the future and that the school continues to enthusiastically support each child’s unique needs and celebrate their unique skills.

This is a small neighborhood school, not a magnet school so most of the students live around the area. Parking is a big problem but parents manage to attend school functions and drop/pickups daily. Everyone seems pleased about the school so I think the principal and staff have effectively addressed any problems this school may have had in the past. 5 STARS!

My son is in Grade 1 and absolutely loves his teacher. He started at Alamosa in elementary and his teacher then too was fantastic. He loves the interaction, running club and we're also big fan's of the AM/PM program. Love the environment for our son.

Everyone is so willing to help any student. I came from Chula Vista haborside elementary they told me my son was slow .. Came here two years ago he had dyslexia which I told haborside but they never did anything and here at alamosa they changed his world. Helped my son read and write made him felt like he was the smartest boy ever .. Best school ever

As a parent with two kids at this school, Alamosa leaves a lot to be desired academically and in terms of parent involvement. The former principal was arrogant and cold to parents. The new proncipal is hopelessly inexperienced and incompetent. Learning supports for my children are minimal. Opportunities to volunteer are limited to a price legend few parents. The community this school serves is great; VUSD is squandering an opportunity to have a school that shines because VUSD is unable to provide the type of leadership this school deserves.

A former kid at this school, most of the students were downright RUDE. But the principal is very nice. But compared to Casita Center, this school wasn't very tiny. It's a good school, but not as good as the school I'm in right now.

I personally liked "Alamosa Idol" the anual talent show where there are no winners but everyone gets a chance to show off their secret or not secret talents if they choose to. Another thing about Alamosa Park is the "Hawk Run," a fundraiser that takes place every other year at the park next to the school. You can run laps to help raise money for your school. Overall, I Iiked my experience at Alamosa Park Elementary School and have no doubt that your child would either.
