The school overall is excellent. And most teachers are excellent. Though a particular first grade teacher has been extremely disappointing. Despite her teaching 6 and 7 year olds, she is short and cold with them and their parents, and does not seem to enjoy her job. She does not respond to emails, and her personal interaction style is unpleasant and a bit odd. Despite this teacher, the school overall is great..

Fantastic! I have nothing but good words for this school. The teachers and staff alike care for the wellbeing of students, and continue promote an inclusive, diverse environment for students to thrive. The school has done an excellent job in handling the response to the pandemic, and maintains great communication with parents. Teachers make sure to push their students to their fullest potential!

Great principal whom really cares about her teachers & students. Professional teachers and personal. The School always seems to reach their goals in fundraising because of the strong PTA & parent involvement. My kids are still attending Monteverde virtually but the staff has been super awesome & supportive for the students during covid.

Strong leadership, caring teachers, strong academics, involved parents and community. I love everything about Monte Verde. My oldest graduated last year and has adjusted to middle school smoothly. My middle child loves all her teachers (especially Ms. Mirt) who are constantly challenging her and encouraging her to reach her potential. My third child will be entering MV next fall and I can't wait to see how he will thrive at this school. We are incredibly blessed to be part of this amazing community of educators and families.

Both my kids are attending Monte Verde Elementary School. I have to say, this is so far the best school that I have know and proud to be part of. From the principle to teachers and volunteer parents. Everyone work together like a team to benefit our children. We are so far the have and maintain the highest school rating in the South San Francisco School District for public elementary school. I am a very proud mom of the school, principle, teachers, volunteers and my children.

My son is new to Monte Verde Elementary School this year. We love this school!!!! Ms. Mirt, the principal, has been so helpful and kind since I met her in June 2010. I have seen and experienced first hand that she is a caring individual who cares about the her students, the parents, the staff and of course the faculty. Ms. Mirt is very involved at Monte Verde and often can be seen outside of her office chatting with parents, students and participating in school events such as the walk-a-thon, getting dunked in the dunk tank and attending PTA meetings. She has welcomed our family to Monte Verde and remembers who we are which is great. Ms. Mirt is very proud of her school and exudes school spirit. My son is a first grader in Ms. Meyers class. Thus far, my son is doing great in school and is able to demonstrate what he is learning in class. He receives a good amount of homework each week which reinforces all the concepts he is learning in class. He gets spelling tests every Friday which is great. Monte Verde is a California Distinguished School and plans to retain that title and honor by holding the students to high standards. The veteran parents at Monte Verde are fabulous! They have also been very welcoming and are involved in the PTA and school events. It was great to see many of them at the Walk-A-Thon event, especially the familiar faces from PTA. It is a great feeling to know that Monte Verde parents are also just as invested in the success of the children as Ms. Mirt, the teachers and the staff. We haven't been at Monte Verde very long, but I can honestly say that I am proud to be Monte Verde parent! We are truly blessed to be a part of such a wonderful community. Go Eagles!!!!

Our school just won A Distinguished School award, in an era were we are facing budget cuts our principal saw only the good and entered our school. We have the best PTA.

I have a 3rd grader and she has been at the school since grade K. We love all the activities and parent involvement. Ms Mirt is always available to hear out concerns and is very active in the school day with student to student issues. Its good to know they have a principal they can go to that will get to the bottom of any issues. My daughter LOVES everything about her school including the office staff, lunch staff, janitor, yard duty staff, parent volunteers and whoever else is part of the awesome MV team. All four teachers she has had have all been WONDERFUL and caring to her needs on all levels. They take time to answer all questions I have about my child. Keep up the GREAT WORK MV *I think it is awesome that the parents are so dedicated that the library is ran by VOLUNTEERS!
