College View Elementary School

My oldest son transferred from the Los Alamitos High School District when we moved from that area ten years ago. That was a difficult time for our family because the schools in Rossmoor were considered so amazing, but honestly, our son received a better education once he was at College View. We were blessed with brilliant, highly educated teachers. We have two young children there now and could not be happier still. It has been years of wonderful learning and memories for our family. We are very grateful to the staff of College View. Dr. White, thank for all you did to turn things around!

I am soo proud to have my children attending college view. Academically they are doing above and beyond what I had imagined. They enjoy going to school every day. The teachers are wonderful, easy to communicate with and show an overall love and concern for the children and what they should be learning. Dr. White has done an amazing job with the school since she has come on board. Way to go College View!!

Check out those scores! Way to go Dr.White and staff. My older child has moved on to middle school and my younger one is in 2nd grade. I am the luckiest parent to have been at this school for 6+ years. The teaching staff has only one goal..your child. The teachers always respond to their emails and return your phone calls. The principal is almost always walking around the classrooms observing the lessons. Love the awards assemblies,fundraiser incentive parties,bookfair,skate nights, jog-a-thon,full color year book,grade level plays,kite day you name it. The library is stocked full of current favorites as well as old classics. This is what being a kid is all about. The parent volunteers are there working hard and planning all week long. Keep up the good work College View....(P/S I'm not really a parent...I'm a Wildcat Mom!)

Both of my children have a love for learning because of the dedicated teachers and staff at College View. As far as earlier complaints about lengths of recess and lunch, I don't think people are aware that the state mandates minutes required for these times. Also, the state sets the curriculum for ELL and English Only standards. They both are mandated and the school does follow them rigorously. It is not a teacher's personal choice per se to only work with a certain set of students. All students are taught to their differentiated level districtwide. The student population is "balanced" which I prefer for my children who will be able to function in the "real world". There is a ton of parent involvement and opportunities for families to become involved. I am a teacher in another district so I really am able to see that College View is wonderful!

College View is a hidden treasure in Ocean View School District. The dedicated staff ensures success for every student. I am very proud to be part of the wildcat family. Three teachers send their children to College View!

My son has been going to this school since preppie K and each year he has had great teachers and made great friends. I love that the class sizes are smaller and the attention that he gets. Keep up the good work College View!

We have a diverse ethnic collection of students with a mix of middle class students. The school sponsored my family during Christmas time and helped with gifts for my kids. The staff is dedicated to our students education and the well being of our families. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.

Our son has been attending CollegeView since he was in Kindergarten and he is currently finishing the fifth grade. We've had two lady principles which have been quite different from each other as well as a few teachers have left or came on board recently. I applaud all the staff for all that they do. They all care about the children and it shows. Our son loves this school and we will all be sad to leave . I have been impressed with the open communication between all the staff and our family. As the saying goes...you get out of it what you put in! The education, field trips, staff, the children and the after school program have been great. It is a well balanced school and I think any child that comes to this school is blessed. Bottom line-Our son enjoys going to school and his grades are great.
