As a member of the community, PTES is always reaching out to the surrounding area: whether asking us to participate in the school through volunteerism, inviting us to fun events on school grounds, or making sure the kids that attend the school are taught pillars of character and respect. I consider PTES a highlight of our community.
PTES is a great school with a dedicated staff.
We are the best school because we offer the best programs. We have a schoolyard habitat learning center, and an observatory on the way. The teachers are dedicated and our PAWS program really supports the school!
This school is like a family. Everyone, staff,students, and parents get along well and are always willing to do what they need to do to go 'That Extra Mile!'

We have the best principal and the best staff! We are a family here at Peralta and we support each other towards our goals and mission.
I love Peralta Trail Elementary School because it is a family. As a teacher I feel empowered and pushed to excel in my strengths. Students are exposed to the newest technology in the classrooms. Our students are creating websites using webquests. It is amazing.
Our school is the best! Teachers are actually given time to prepare to teach the future! We do not have duties before, during or after school. We are a family and we help take care of each other, not just in our grade level bur school wide!
Peralta Elementary has consistently scored well on AIMS because of the dedication of the teachers and staff at that school. They not only teach but make it fun to learn as well.
Peralta Trail Elementary School is dynamic. My son gets traditional education blended with enrichment through project based learning, technology engagement, and he gets to go to the science lab as well as the outdoor habitat. Learning is not restricted to one desk with a lecture from a teacher. Learning is interactive, engaging, and motivating. Furthermore, my son is happy. He knows that the teachers and staff care for him. We are thrilled with PTES.
