My daughter is in Kindergarten and I really love her teacher Mrs. Mattila. If I ever have a question or concern, Mrs. Mattila makes sure my questions are answered prompty either by email or a phone call. I have to agree with the other parents regarding the drop off/pick up. I voiced my concerns about parents double parking in the loading zone to Vice President Arvizu and that problem was resolved almost immediately. The quality of education this school offers is outstanding. My daughter has learned so much in such a short time and she is only in Kindergarten. Can't wait to see what 1st grade brings !!

My child has attended this school for 2 years now. The teachers are wonderful and if there is ever a problem between students it's handled very professionally and promptly. The dislikes I have for this school would have to be the Drop off Pickup rountine they have. Its horrible. They have long yellow chain like structures that block parents from getting thier children untill they reach the end of the yellow posts. This allows only 5 cars to pick up kids at a time, if that. (God forbid if there is a afterschool bus waiting) If one parent has a child who is running really late it clogs up the whole line and traffic backs up horribly in the residential areas... Who ever came up with this idea is absolutely insane!!

I have a son that attends Donner. I'm very happy with this school and their staff. The teachers are amazing. Their very caring, attentive and motivates the kids to do better. My son is a quiet and shy kid. Mrs. Ramirez 4th grade teacher recognized that and found ways to bring him out of his shell. He's in the 5th grade now and his current teachers are just as great! I have older children that have attended other schools in other districts and was very unhappy for various reasons. I moved out here for the schools and have'nt regret it yet! My only complaint about our school is the terrible traffic we go thru daily. Luckily my lil ones are in walking distance. Feel bad for the rest of the parents. We still love it here.

The staff is very hard working and caring. They communicate regularly with parents and are very dedicated. The homework seems a bit much but teachers insist it is necessary. Overall, I'm very pleased with the education that my child is receiving.
