My son is in Kindergarten and we have had a wonderful experience with excellent, caring teachers and staff. His school classes include reading/writing & math in the main classroom, then separate classes for science, music, & art. Also included are free play and wellness breaks, breakfast & lunch, and separate socio-emotional growth learning with the Incredible Years Dinosaur School. Additionally, my child enjoys the after school care with Primetime. We've experienced very great communication with the teachers & we've found that there are lots of opportunities for family engagement. It's been a great experience at Encanto Elementary.

So far I have not had a good experience with this school. They never watch the kids. Never get informed anything about my child unless it’s something they can’t get away with. Excuses are always made instead of solving the issues.

Excellent. This is our neighborhood school and we moved here from another city school; the entire staff and students were welcoming and the rigor of the coursework was grade appropriate. Plus, the principal/teachers/staff are kind and welcoming.

Encanto is an Achieving School with an API of 800+. (test scores). Encanto has raised achievement every year. We have a principal who has turned this school around in the last 4 years.

I love this school now and what potential it has ever since the present principal took over. The school has amazing technology for students, the teachers have been excellent and the principal has turned the school around 100 percent in a wonderful direction. Test scores, grades and attendance are up. A new coat of paint and murals and the school looks awesome. I'm now proud that my daughter excels in the GATE program at Encanto Elementary. The school also has more parents participating and volunteering which is awesome. :)

I love the school and this year there has been more parent participation and fundraising. I was leary after I read some of the reviews on here but the school has turned out AWESOME! I am very impressed with the Activboards and such that they have in each classroom. Seems like the teachers are very good as well. My child thinks the world of her teacher. I can't say enough good things.
