Elk Grove Elementary School

We have had children in private and public schools for the past 13 years. Dave Neves is, by far, the best principal our family has experienced. He is committed to the children and to quality education, responsive to parents, and finds opportunities for teaching moments.

Dave Neves is a fantastic principal who has a real heart for the kids.

Teachers seem to think that their job by nature allows them to say and treat students however they please. My daughter has been on the honor roll since she has attended this school. This is with little repercussion from the principle, who professes how disclipline is important to the children. It would be nice if he would apply this concept to his staff.

I have been an EG Elem parent for 6 years now, and love the school. Despite all of the budget cuts over the past few years, the teachers and staff, it's PTA and it's parents have done a fantastic job keeping our kids motivated, learning and enjoying school. Everyone works so hard to provide the kids with everything they need.

We moved to Elk Grove about 1 year ago. My kids really like the school. The principal and vice-principal are great with the kids. Overall I would say it is a really good school

I have been a student at Elk Grove Elementry for 7 years and for 6 of those years we had the best princible Mrs.Brenda Kidd and in the last year they have replaced her with Mr. Dave Neves. He may have a special connection with the students but sometimes he can either be way to hard on the kids or he is there friend.

My girls had so much fun at this school. They're always talking about how much they loved the teachers, and how fun the teachers made learning. I was always able to talk to the teachers and staff at the school if ever we needed anything. The principal was very nice. And the entire staff was well educated. I really enjoyed the time when my kids were at that school. And also, a highlight of this school was that teachers knew how to disipline fairly.

This is a great school. Signing up early pays off. The teachers are wonderful and teachers aids are qualified. We're proud to have our children enrolled here and have faith that they will do well.

My son attended this school several years ago; he's now 16, and the staff was wonderful! He learned a lot and had fun while he was learning. We both enjoyed many of the teachers there and our experiences were very good. I particulary liked the kids responsibility-factor for their own behavior. Unfortunately, most or all of the Elk Grove District is overcrowded.

My daughter attended this school for a little over a month (we moved to a different part of the city) and loved this school, teachers and staff were great. I wish she could have stayed here to complete 4th grade.
