Alta Loma Elementary School

This public school is great - one of the cleanest schools I have ever seen - and the teachers work together to create a nurturing, fun and safe learning environment. I am thrilled to have my child attending this school. The principal is outstanding!

I have had 4 children attend ALE. My 4th is now in 6th grade. So I have been involved with ALE for over 17 years. I have seen alot of teachers and principals come and go in those years, and yes some better than others. I believe there are some very good teachers at ALE and maybe some not so great teachers there as well but let me say I think you will get that wherever you go. The administration has always been helpful if I have had an issue and I honestly wouldn't want my children to go anywhere else!

My children attend this school and while many of our experiences have been very positive, we've also had some negative experiences as well. My child has a teacher who I have had some issues with but nothing has been done. My child's grades are faltering because of it and I've been very frustrated. That being said, of the 6 or so other teachers we've dealt with, I've had no prior complaints.

I have had 3 kids in ALE. My daughter is now at ALHS and I still have 2 at the elementary. I don't know what that parent is talking about? The principal has always been a great listener and has been wonderful to my children. The 6th grade teachers are also wonderful. I would highly recommend the school. I tried private school with my oldest son and had a much better experience at ALE.

I am truly sad to say the faculty are horendous. I just pulled my 6th grader mid year from ALE to home school her and am on here looking for private schools for my 2 kids for next year. I am in the process of submitting a stack of complaints to the superintendant. There are some excellent teachers in the lower grades but it ends there. The principal handles parents as if we are the problem and treats us in a childish manner. Sadly, our children are suffering.

ALE has a terrific PTA! It is a California Distiguished School. We have excellent band, choral, and art instruction as well as a designated P.E. teacher for upper grades. It is a traditional K-6 elementary school with very experienced faculty. Students needs are met in creative and collaborative ways. Students are from diverse backgrounds. We take field trips, have special assemblies and lots of awards and character development programs.

I have 2 sons who attend ALE. The proctors are outstanding. They ensure a safe and fair enviornment for the students. My youngest son's teacher kept me informed as to his progress on a weekly basis. This aided me while I was working with him at home. My oldest son's teacher was a saint. She taught and guided my son to each goal. Being a mother herself, she understood the struggles I was going through at home with him. She helped me to understand my son better. We made it through 5th grade together.
