LaMariposa's quality & academics is sporadic at best. There are superb teachers there; however, there are several that are below average at best. The principal's leadership style, devotion to students, and desire to improve academics is poor to below average. The several superb teachers carry the school's reputation.

We love this school. Kindergarden teachers are all excellent. We were pleased with my son's performance in 1st grade, although there are mixed reviews on the first grade teachers. Some are amazing and some seem a little disorganized. We will be having a new principle this year, but I loved how some of the teachers were in the interviewing process. Teachers all seem to work together to have a cohesive teaching program. We are very lucky to have our child at this school.

I have two children at La Mariposa through the School Choice Program; we were re-districted out but really wanted to stay. The school has been fantastic for both my kids. The Kindergarden starts everyone off of the right foot, letting the kids learn how to cooperate and have fun in loving atmosphere. Although we have never gotten any teacher that we requested so far, it has never mattered. Every single teacher has been wonderful and enthused and has ensured every child is treated with respect. The older kids are given help with reading if needed. The brand-new facilities are beautiful and clean and all support staff members are very friendly and kind to the kids and parents.

I feel so blessed to have my child attend La Mariposa! The teachers, administration and families are all above and beyond. Quality programing is evident on all levels. There are new programs being piloted to ensure our children have bigger and better extracurricular experiences thanks to some dedicated parents and teachers. Parents play a very important roll in the day to day happenings at LMS. They are invited to share ideas, help with the planning and implementation of activities and have a voice that is always heard and considered. This is a truly well rounded, loving, safe environment for children. Yea Mrs. Gonzalez, Teachers & PTA.Great job!

This is an outstanding school with a very dedicated teaching staff and very involved parents. The school is constantly trying to approve upon its programs which is reflected in its increasing test scores.
