This is a great school with wonderful teachers and administrators. It's a small school where everyone knows each other and it feels like a small family. To the reviewer who posted in August 2020, writing about not enough photos, there is no such section dedicated to student photos on our website. I think you meant to post a review for Peters Elementary School in Garden Grove. Get it right!!

This school is amazing! The principal, teachers, and staff are dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where every child feels safe, included, and empowered to be their best self. Teachers go above and beyond to foster a growth mindset in students, and families are actively included as partners in their children's education. The strong sense of community and involved parents make this school truly special.

Overall good. The environment could be a little more inclusive. The PTO is cliquish and those parents are given special treatment. If you look at the website you see photos of those children including their siblings and sometimes repeatedly.

By far the best so far! It is a small school which feels like a private one with positive and happy energy together with great teachers. My son loves the school so much.

Both of my children have had a great experience at the school. The teachers and principal are caring and responsive. Fun annual activities at the school build a nice team spirit among students and families.

Amazing school. Principal and teachers are 100% committed to supporting the academic needs of all students, regardless of capabilities. This allows students to be best version of self!

Every issue I have ever had they have resolved quickly. I haven't really had too many issues, but even the small ones they take care of quickly. They treat the children with respect and are so loving and patient towards them. My oldest daughter began attending PCE when she was five years old. She is now 11 and in middle school. I can honestly say the teachers at Peters Canyon did a wonderful job preparing her for middle school. My middle child is now in 2nd grade and soon my youngest will be joining. I feel blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school and to have my girls attending PCE.

This is an amazing school! It is like a private school among the public schools in every way! Learning is always exciting and "right on" to meet the needs of each student. The teachers are truly amazing and dedicated, and the whole community comes together to support our school.

The parents in charge run the school. Work is all completed with parents help and grading is by the book. Can get this anywhere. P.S. Takes a lot of gifts to teachers to get through the year.
