Kyrene de la Paloma School

This school is a wonderful environment for children to learn. The principal is a compassionate, intelligent and kind person. My children have attended for 7 years between the three of them. I feel fortunate to have such caring people surrounding my children.

I am somewhat unhappy with Paloma, I think the teachers are good and the class room sizes are good. Their needs to be more focus on the way children treat each other. Not addressed at all. Parent involvement is good, PTA is good. Would still recommend to parents, no place will be perfect.

I have 2 boys attending. This school rocks! The academic level is great and keeps my kids challenged. The PTA sponsors all sorts of fun events throughout the year like carnival, pumpkin patch, etc. The kids go to art, music and PE every week and they teach 'lifeskills' like caring, concern, integrity, etc. We love it!

Great school if your child has no learning problems or A.D.D. otherwise forget it.

We were extremely please with our experience at Paloma. We felt that the teachers were well qualified, and cared about the students. Our son entered kindergarten at a 'average' level, and left with 'above average' marks on his report card. We felt confident in sending our son there everyday.

My child has attended Paloma for three years. Every teacher 'we' have had, from the classroom teachers to the 'specials' teachers have been fantastic! The school has a very 'Open Policy', parents and visitors are always welcome. Not just by 'our' student's teachers, but the entire staff. Any concerns that I have ever had have been addressed immediately and always resolved to my satisfaction. I KNOW that everyone there is professional, careing and dedicated to giving our children the very best! We researched many schools before moving and settling here. Paloma teachers and staff made it simple to decide where to settle, simply because they are the best.

Paloma is a mediocre school in all respects, although there are some great teachers. For years the school remained committed to outdated 'whole language' techniques, and it has only recently begun to integrate more up-to-date methodologies. As a result, many of those who attended here in recent years are unable to spell or syllabify and do not read, moreover, at the grade level.
