Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son was continuously bullied at this school, When my son would tell the teachers that he was being bullied and they would tell him to "shake hands and get along". when I talked to the principal, he told me that he will look into it. When he got back to me, he said, (quote) "your son is bringing it on himself".

I couldn't ask for a better school. The Staff and Teachers are unbelievable! Miramonte's focus is on helping children to achieve their maximum potiental, in all areas of academics and co-curricular activities. I am impressed with my child's manners and over-all 'character' since attending this school. My child will continue to benefit from Miramonte in the years to come and become a very well-rounded student. My child has tremendous school spirit and wears orange for 'Big O Day' every Friday. As a parent, I feel involvement as a key to your child's success and have become as involved as I can. I have experienced a very welcoming attitude from everyone. The PTC is very involved and a great asset to the school. I'm excited to have another child enrolling very soon.

I have one child attending and have had nothing but good experiences. I can't wait to enroll my next children in school here.

Miramonte is a good school and just as most schools the success of your child depends on your involvement. For the most part the teachers are great with a few exceptions. They do offer good programs but you have to be aware of what is going on because they do not have good communication to let the parents know what programs and extracurricular activities are available. The administrative staff is willing to work with problems or parent concerns. I have two children whom have or are attending and I have had an overall good experience.
—Submitted by a parent
The school is unstructured and unorganized. There is zero communication with teachers to parents. Teachers run their classes by harsh intimidation and humiliation.
—Submitted by a parent
Although there are great teachers here, I have to admit that there are a few really bad apples mixed in that give many parents pause. There should be more positive communication from the teachers to the parents. Activites are great for the kids, and I like the award ceremonies for kids acheiving their best, however, it seems as though pushing the kids for good test scores are more important than overwhelming the kids with to much work and at a level that is beyond their years. Frustration is common in this area. Wish the school had a calmer and trusted leader that parents felt comfortable going to that could also remain objective and 'hear' what parents are saying.

This school has a great academic programs that work with your child individual needs. The children have lot's of oppurtunity to learn music. The also have a variety of extracurricular activies. Like destination imagination, school plays, and science clubs. There is also so much invlolvement in sport. Everyone plays it is awesome. There is so much parental involvement you make friends just because you see them so much.

My oldest went here and she loved it. Her teachers were great. My younger children got reject teachers. My overall experience was okay
—Submitted by a parent
The programs available are ok. I feel they are really leaning towards test scores than overall work and citizenship. I also feel we don't have the supervision needed during recess and lunch break. The pricipal's leadership is more like putting people down instead of lifting them up, and guiding them with a warm heart. He really is strick, which I think is good, but we dealing with elementary school. I am also concerned about where and howmoney is spent. We are a low income school and I always hear how we need money. We have very low parent envolvement.

Welcome to GreatSchools!
For principals and school officials, we offer a special Enhanced School Profile (ESP) which allows you to update and add information about your school, as well as respond to reviews. If you are a school official, click Continue to start.
Please note that it can take up to 48 hours for your comment to be posted to our site. While you're here, we'd like to invite you to fill out a survey on your school's programs, activities, and extracurriculars. It only takes a few minutes and will help parents get a full picture of your school.
Continue to compare the schools you have already selected or Edit schools to change your selection.
