Red Hawk Elementary is one of TVUSD's smaller elementary schools with a student population of just under 600 students. We strive for academic excellence and rigor while also maintaining an attitude of care and concern for the children in our charge. We encourage and foster family involvement and are proud of the safe and welcoming environment that is foundation of the Red Hawk culture.

My kids have been attending this school for the past five years. Red Hawk is an amazing school with a wonderful staff and supportive principal. I just attended this year's posting party and was so glad to see all the excited looks on the faces of students as they found out which class they would be in. I absolutely recommend this school to anyone new to the neighborhood.

Red Hawk Elementary is an exemplary school. I have experience as both a parent and an educator. I have worked directly with the staff and administration and absolutely love they way they care for our community and our children, particularly my own. The new principal is amazing! She cares for your children like her own. The staff has all been together for several years and is really a family. The level of expertise of the teachers, office staff, and administration is top notch. I have been very impressed with all of the teachers and the level of knowledge and skills that they have brought out in my children. I have both lower and upper grade level students here. The entire school runs like a well-oiled machine. Being a military family, we were not only very welcomed here, but they took extra time and care to make sure our children had all of their needs met. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to others. No matter which school your child attends it takes communication and flexibility on both parts to ensure that your child is getting the best education. The school is diverse and all students are loved and welcomed there. Red Hawk is the sole reason we moved to Temecula.

If your child is going into 5th grade be VERY careful on the teacher that your child is placed with. Terrible experiences with administration (principal); staff was OK, but not overly helpful or considerate. The only thing positive at this school was my child's 4th grade teacher. If I had the option to do this over again, my child would NOT attend this school.

Being a military family, our child has attended numerous schools and we love Red Hawk. Our daughter has had great teachers and she loves this school. As parents, we appreciate the high academic expectations and the fact that the teachers, staff and administration truly seem to care about the students.

Racism and discrimination. If you are black, hispanic, indian, asian or anything other than White - do not send your child to this school. NOT MILITARY FRIENDLY nor DIVERSE. The front office gossips and has rude staff. I took my child out of the school. They single out minority children.

I love Red Hawk Elementary, the teachers we've had experience with are great and so, it seems, are the rest of them. I was unhappy that two years in a row my youngest was moved into a different classroom three weeks after school started, due to budget cuts and class size requirements. In kindergarten he was moved into a combined K/1 class, and in first grade he was moved OUT of one into a First Grade Only class. Where he is bored due to, i think, having absorbed so much first grade level knowledge in his kinder year. My fourth grader loves his teacher but she's a bit ditzy and disorganized. Still a wonderful woman and a good teacher, but assignments don't often come back on time, etc. He is also ahead of grade level and involved in the GATE program for gifted children. I wish it was available to my younger son, but it starts in third grade (testing at the end of second grade). All the teachers have email and are usually quick to respond if you contact them in that manner. We will be moving to the Murrieta Unified School District at the end of this school year, I'm interested to see the differences.
