I have been lucky enough to have both of my children attend Dena Boer. When we moved to Sailda, Ca we made sure to buy a home in the Dena Boer neighborhood. I would recommend this school to anyone new to the area or even to those looking for a better fit for their kids. My kids absolutely love this school. The teachers are wonderful, they truly love their students, and always make sure each student is striving towards their own goals. My kids have always felt safe and comfortable at Dena Boer. Our parents club goes above and beyond with extra activities and family fun! Our family truly loves being apart of the Dena Boer culture!

This school has some great teachers, but it also has some very poor ones and for the last few years the administration has been in turmoil and there have been 3 different principals in and out. My child is special needs (mild case), and they cannot provide even minimal support. If your child has special needs at all, dont have them attend Dena Boer, I give them an F for this reason. I also think 1.5hrs homework every night is ridiculous. My kids were burnt out and their spirits of learning crushed. Chose to move my child out of this school.

My child has gone to school for 4 years. While our first two years were good experiences our 3rd year was a waste of his time and this was due to the teacher. Thankfully she has been placed a difft school. This year his 3rd grade teacher is a wonderful person who cares about my childs learning. My child has excelled this year as he did in his first 2 years because she CARES. She cares about all her kids in her class and wants them all to excel. I feel that the last year when complaints were made they were brushed under the rug by the principal and feel that if he cared about the kids, he would go the extra mile to investigate the problems and not just speak to the teacher and take her word for it. I am grateful for this years teacher!
