My great-granddaughter is enrolled in the special preschool program also. The whole family is really pleased with her progress this year. Her teacher and the teachers aides are really great with these kids. I see this every day that I drop her off and pick her up.

My son is in the special preschool and we have been very happy. He is talking much more. The teachers are all very caring.

Great School. I have been on site on more that one occasion. Everytime, I have seen teachers and administrators instill courtesy values in the children. My child has had Great Teachers that care in every grade level. Expectaions and Goals are set every year, and monitored thru-out the year with parents. Parents are encouraged to participate in all areas of their childs education. The school constantly is striving to improve in all areas, to meet the needs of the children. Kudos to the entire Staff.

Excellent! This school is a hidden gem with dedicated and experienced professionals, friendly children and families. The neighborhood is going to be the next Willo district with mid-century homes and caring neighbors. I am happy we moved here from Northern California and our children attend.

There is no discipline at this school, the dress code is only enforced on some kids while others are overseen. Us parents are always paying for one thing or another and we never see where the money goes to! The principal is not very nice or welcoming-I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE! MY KIDS NO LONGER GO TO THIS SCHOOL!

My son attended the developmental preschool at the site. I was not impressed to put it mildly. My son received minimal services at best.

Loma Linda School is great! My daughter is in All-day Kinder and she is getting all the attention that she needs. She is a little advanced from the other students, and the teacher gives assignments for me to work with her at home. This way, she can grow at her own pace. I love it!

Uniforms are great but all children are not required to follow the guidelines.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
