Tiffany (Burton C.) Elementary School

Tiffany has a dedicated teaching staff and principal. The lines of communication are open and all staff are very responsive to the needs of the Tiffany students and families. Every month yields opportunities to attend blacktop assemblies and a.m. chats with the Principal. Strong academics taught in the classroom. My sixth grade son has enjoyed the upper grade science cirriculum very much. The Before & After school opportunities include guitar, orchestra, Safety Patrol, Student Council , soccer, basketball, chorus. Cub/Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops hold meetings on campus and support the school. Incredible PTA supports classrooms, study trips, AR reading programs, school family camp outs, carnivals, student dances, mother/son, father/daughter dances, activities. All students and families are treated with respect. Tiffany has an excellent SDC teaching and IA staff. New families to Tiffany are warmly welcomed--My family was a zone transfer from our home school, so I know this first hand. You can't help but want to become involved as a parent with this school. There is such excitement in the classroom and all around campus. You definitely need to check this school out!

I am so unbelievably impressed with our school! Excellent teachers & staff, a principal, Mr. Tapia, who genuinely cares about our families, and many opportunities for parent involvement! While attending Tiffany Elementary, my son achieved a perfect score on the California Standarized Test-both on the English and math section! He also scored perfect on the district writing test! Tiffany really focuses on standards and exceeding grade-level proficiencies. With all those academincs, it's amazing that Tiffany offers so many fun and specialized classes before and after school. My child is an active participant in many incredible Tiffany School Programs such as the school chorus, science field day, "master baker" cooking class, video creation & editing for entry in the IVIE Awards competition, and even geocashing after school on Fridays! We feel so lucky to attend this school where our kids really are the focus!

Love this school! Great academics! We transfered from a neighborhood school and are very pleased. Parents are involved & teachers are challenging. Students attend weekly music & computer classes with specialized teachers. They also have lunchtime & after school sports leagues.

The office staff, the support staff, the teachers and the Principal are all committed to the students. Our children have progressed and advanced academically. The music program is outstanding, the athletic program is great and the academic program excellent. We just lucked out moving into this area and had Tiffany as our neighborhood school.

We transferred our children from a San Diego City School District campus to Tiffany. My kids like their new school and so far, we're pleased with what we see and hear from our kids with respect to the education they're receiving the new friends they've made. However, we feel the parent and parent/school organizations can be a little better with communication, especially for new families to Tiffany. We'd like to hear more about SSC, Governance and PTA. Is there a Gate/Seminar committee specific to Tiffany. The school website should include links to these organizations or at least provide information about them.

I was hesitant to send my children to public school and consequently didn't send my son to Kindergarten at Tiffany. After visiting 6 different public and private schools, I was pleased to decide that our neighborhood public school was actually the best choice for our family. The principal is highly accessible. The PTA is active without being pushy. The Tiffany Campout, Carnival and Father Daughter activities are favorites. The reading programs are fantastic and the music programs are unique to Tiffany. The 1st, 3rd and 4th grade teaching teams are particularly great.
