Fletcher Hills Elementary School

great school, very cooperative and attentive principal; Mrs. Sardina is simply awesome. It is great to see that more parents are getting involved as it only makes it easier for the teacher and most important the student.

My daugher came to FHE in 2nd grade, after attending a school in San Diego Unified for K and 1st grade. While she was unhappy and struggled in K and 1, she thrived once we moved and she started 2nd grade at FHE. She had a small bump in the first half of the year when her teacher, who she really liked, went on medical leave. Thankfully the replacement teacher was amazing. She was able to recognize what my daughter needed and work with her to help her succeed. I'm proud to say that she advanced her learning by leaps and bounds by the end of 2nd grade. She is reading like a pro. The Everyday Math program that they use is a little tough for parents to get used to, but it makes sense if you read through it with your child. The school has many after school programs that are available, for a fee. Art, yoga, aerobics, all kinds of stuff. The before and after school ESS program is great. Parents are very involved in the classroom and room moms/dads are often present in the class to help out the teacher and provide help for the kids. The PTA is very active, and there are lots of fun events throughout the year. Best of all, my daughter thinks that school at FHE is FUN!

So far, 5th grade is a disappointment. There seems to be greater emphasis on math and there has been absolutely no homework in the language arts. Reading is not a required homework item. 5th grade shoudl be a time to ramp up the learning to prepare for middle school and high school. The October break is another issue as well. The calendar is too disruptive. Teachers don't need that many vacations. After all, they had all summer off.

We have been a part of FHE for a long time and always praised it. Last year for 5th grade was disappointing to put it lightly. It would have been better to homeschool. Academically and socially (bullying, mean girls, and disciplinary action), I would rate it POOR.

Mrs. Conry has done a heroic job is protecting the students and the staff in these challenging educational times. She is strong, compassionate and focused on what is best of all kids. Every school needs a Lisa Conry

My oldest is in fourth grade, and I have two younger children at Fletcher Hills. I am very happy with the experiences each of them have received at FHES throughout the years. Wonderful teachers, staff and PTA! We love it!!!

Fletcher Hills Elementary. It's a great school that gives children the opportunity to learn. Make sure your child is driven, and focuses intently on his/her work, and studies hard. Then your child will thrive there. Also over the summers there, work with your child on Math, Reading, and Writing. This will greatly help your child for the year to come. I also suggest that you as a parent be involved in school functions, and to frequently talk to the teacher to check how your child is functioning in the class room. Also, an important semisecret, is that you can request a teach for the next year, according to the reviews and opinions about that teacher. It has a fantastic campus, and is very safe. The staff make sure of that. Overall it is a great school, and if your child is driven, he/she will thrive there, that much is for sure!

my daughter has been attending fletcher hills since kindergarden and I could not be happier about the school; the teachers are great and the school has so many extracurricular activities for students to join. We are enrolled in the after school program and it is the best in Fletcher Hills; she rarely wants to leave. I did however find that several teachers favor the kids whos parents volunteer a lot; but I guess it's alright they do dedicate personal time to the class; unfortunately I am unable due to a full time job.
