You guys don't have any idea what this school is like for someone who went to this school as a student for 3 years. First the students are SO rude. I got bullied almost ever day.

Padan Elementary has done a wonderful job of creating a family-oriented environment where everyone belongs. They teach their students the 5 habits of successful students while also focusing on the whole child, not just their test scores. They have a lot of students that come from disadvantaged/challenging home lives and they do their best to build these children up and give them the confidence and assurance they need to be great!

I went to Padan for 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th Grade in the late 70's and early 80's. I loved the school and it's teachers. Very fond memories and lasting friendships to this day!

I wish we would have transferred before my child made friends. This school has been very negligent during the supposed care and supervision of my child. Learning anything here for my child has been a nightmare. Weve had a few good teachers over the years but not enough and I feel I did my child a major disservice staying here.

My experience at this school has been wonderful. The entire staff, as well as the new administration team are child centered and believe that every child can and will succeed.

Padan is one of the few elementary schools in Vacaville where students and parents alike will get an immediate sense of family. The staff at Padan is one of the most cohesive and hard working staffs in Solano County. Everyone at Padan cares about the whole child, not just the scores they can produce. From the Principal all the way to the Custodian, you will not find a more caring, concerned, and committed group who strive for student excellence than Padan.

There is a lot of diversity at Padan school which I love. Two of my kids were advanced proficient on the standardized test and one was having a tough time with reading, because of the extra money this school receives for academic improvement my son was given extra help and is doing so much better!
