My son attended Sutter school for a while last year and it was a great experience. Sutter is a warm school with lots of great activities. The teachers are great!!
—Submitted by a parent
Two of my four children attended Sutter from K-%. Great school! The staff is very qualified and helpful. The other think I love about Sutter is the true diversity withou racial groups. All children accept and respect each other!
—Submitted by a parent
We moved into this part of town because of the excellent reputation Sutter school has compared to the other schools in town and have not been disappointed. My children excel in all areas largely in part to the resources and opportunities the staff presents. It is up to the parents to involve their children in order to reap all the benefits. Most of the other schools in town scare me! Visit them right after school and see.

This school does not have enough effective discipline. This school needs an over-haul of staff.
—Submitted by a parent
AUSD has more that a dozen elementary schools and does not do a good job at keeping the older schools up to date (computers or facility). The teachers are good. The principal, Sammy Damico, is great to work with. However, there are just too many 'out to lunch' parents.

Sutter is a nice school,in a nice area.The teachers are good and the children are friendly. I feel that when I drop my daughter off she is safe and in good hands.My daughter has ms potter for 1st grade and totally loves her class.She has art,pe and computer.The school has P.T.A.
