Felicita Elementary School

Felicita School has a rich history in our Escondido community serving children and families in "Old Escondido" for more than 60 years. This is first year serving this community as the school principal. This is the 1st year where we are "transforming" Felicita to better meet the needs of our amazing students and families. @ the core of ALL we do are the Felicita Transformation Foundational Principles. This core is as result of a synthesis of community (parents, staff & students) visioning & researching successful reform designs. OUR GOAL: Development of the WHOLE child (Cognitive / Social/Emotional / Physical), prepared for the 21st century. We invite you to come and see our iLearn program.

There are great kinder teachers at this school!

As a parent and the husband of a teacher I give Felicita high marks. The school is in a heavy hispanic area, and many parents display a total lack of interest in their kid's education. Despite that the staff do a wonderful job of melting many very low students, with those much higher. Fine school in a tough to teach area.

This school is trying, but it is so densely populated with kids trying to learn English that it is hard for my child to advance. I'm looking for a different school.

Disappointed with crime rate and parent teacher ratios.
