My son started in 2nd grade and just finished 6th grade. I think this school is outstanding. I have found the staff to be competent and well informed. They know my kid's name when I call the office and they don't have to ask for his grade or teacher's name. His personality is flavored with Autism and they are ready for that. They are proactive in helping students accept one another. Pros and cons based on my personal interaction: I helped in the classroom in 2nd&3rd grade. I liked see how the teachers taught and though they did a great job helping students individually in anyway they could. They were backed by great programs outside the classroom that were designed to give students even more help. The 4th grade teacher wasn't used to help and I don't think liked parents much. She was annoying to me, but that's not on the school. Nonetheless, I am confident she did her job well and my son learned well in her class, too.Ultimately, I am pleased and glad he attended this school for the last 5 years.Some of my favorite things that include parents are: the school play (directed by that 4th grade teacher) and the "day of the child" celebration at the end of the year. The music teacher and gym teacher coordinate and the students perform dances and sing. There is a lot of co-teaching and I think that is a great way for the teachers to support one another and strengthens them in what they are able to offer to the students.

We have loved being at Sharon Elementary! We feel more invested in our community having our child attend the local public school. There is a good feeling when you walk in. The office staff is welcoming, the principal is fully invested, and the teachers are excellent. My son is happy and confident going to school each day. We feel a sense of community being at Sharon, and we truly value the relationships we have made.

Choosing to send my kids to Sharon has been one of the best choices I have made for my children. It’s a hidden gem in Alpine School District.

I really don't have anything good to say about this school. Please don't think I am one of those moms who got her feathers ruffled and wants to tantrum, I have just been very disappointed and wish that someone had given me a heads up. I signed up for every single chance I could to help out in my daughters 2nd grade class (field trips, parties, after school activities, even prep) and was not once called to help or participate in any way. I even went in and randomly asked if there was something I could do to be involved. Nothing. They had activities that rewarded the students based on their parents availability, punishing the kids whose parents couldn't go in during the school day, leaving them to sit at their desk while their classmates got to play games and eat treats. They were constantly asking for money and had so many fundraisers I can't even remember half of them. If you are a parent who wants to be involved I would really suggest looking at another school...the district allows students to attend any of the local schools as long as you are willing to drive...just fyi.
