Providencia Elementary School

I agree with the disappointed parent. My child has the same teacher and hates homework. You are right about that! Everything at Prov from PTA, Boosters, the teacher mentioned and the principal is just awful. Its a shame. It feels like since Ms. Zermeno slowly got forced to work elsewhere and not at Prov, it began to fall apart. She was truly there for the students. Now the leadership at the school is just looking out for herself. The only parent involvement is the PTA staff who think they own the school. Sad sad sad. Its a shame. Hopefully next year it gets better, not worse.

We have fallen in love with the school because of the VERY dedicated teachers, supportive parents and great leadership by Mr. Kissinger. It is such a relief to know that my children are guided well & provided the best education possible.

This is a nice school. It looks a lot better now. But I don't like that the kids spend all of their time practiceing for state testing, like that is the only thing that matters.

I am a grandmother of 5 and 3 of them attend this school.It has come along way,My childern went there in the 80's and it was the budget school,now we have made remarkable strides .Greatest principle school staff are loving with my grand children.I am at the school alot because I do fundraising .And the parents really back us up,we are a community within the school..

Providencia is an amazing school. The teachers are dedicated to the children & the principle is a very caring man who helps out throughout the school any chance he gets. The PTA is really involved & is always willing to do their part in insuring the children have an enjoyable experience while learning. This school deserves to win. Our CST scores were so improved last year, & even with all the budget cuts, our teachers still manage to give the children the best education. As the vice president of our schools PTA, I can say, that this school is one of the best schools in Burbank, if not the country!

This is a great school! The students are doing excellent in statewide tests and are among the top in the city. The parent involvement is excellent, whether it's PTA or just helping out during the day. The principal, Mr. Kissinger, is very involved and is always offering a handshake and an open ear to all. The teachers are excellent and take great interest in nurturing all their students.

I am extremely happy with Providencia and the new Principal. Mr. Kissinger' has just brought the school to life. His tireless dedication along with his staff have just made Providencia the envy of all schools, not just in Burbank. My son started Kindergarten last year with an amazing, highly educated teacher, Miss Banian. And now that's he is in 1st grade with another great teacher, what else can I ask for! There is no doubt Providencia is just going to get better and better throughout the years!! Go Panthers!

Providencia has a new Principal as of 2008 and let me tell you, the entire school hasjust rallied in spirit, love, pride and so on. Dr Kissinger and the dedicated teachers and eager children are to thank here. My son excelled in kindergarten with Mrs Montgomery in '08 and now in the start of 1sr grade is in yet another stimulating class taught by a veteran teacher...I couldn't be happier!

My daughter started kindergarten this school year. She loves the school - her teacher, Ms. Magner, and most of the staff that she comes into contact with. I am very happy with her reading, math, and science concepts learned this school year. She is very excited about learning and can't wait for school to resume in the fall. I would recommend this school to everyone!
