Escalona Elementary School

My wife and I love this school and high level of academic progress we have seen in our children. Most of the teachers are very engaged with the parents and while the principal is tough, she seems to be really appreciated by the students.

I feel this school could do much better. There is a lack of comunication and I am disappointed in how discipline is handled.

This year my son has a wonderful teacher, Mr. Brown. My son is enjoying school much more this year, and learning so much. It's nice to have a teacher who enjoys teaching the kids and helping them with the learning process, and not always "teaching to pass the state tests". It would be great if parents could request the teacher that best fits their child's learning style each year. This year my son has a great match!

The after school homework club is a great idea. My daughter is also enjoy all the extra singing, dancing, and cheerleading activities this year. Her Teacher Mr. Brown is fabulous.

My daughter has attended this school for three years and will be entering into her fourth year there. The teachers are the best especially Mrs. Kalina. Most are caring, and continue to have great communication with the parents. Administration, teachers, and parents are very involved during school time as well as in the many extra activities after school I love the family nights. I am extremely happy with all aspects of this school.

I have a new student this year at Escalona and we have been very pleased with her growth and her caring teacher. I agree with the last review; the office staff can be very aloof many times and I feel too busy to want to help you. The teachers are wonderful though, we are looking forward to next year.

The teachers are highly qualified &caring; the PTA puts on great programs; the office staff is sometimes helpful, others aloof; the principal is inconsistent; right now all the construction is creating some chaos, but the teaching staff is handling it swiftly, while downplaying their exhaustion. they are true professionals that hangle all that comes their way with dignity!

I currently have one alumni (now in 7th) and one child at Escalona and am very pleased with our experience here. The stellar teachers are very caring and kind, yet maintain a structured classroom environment. There seems to be an unusually high percentage of higher ed. degrees among the teaching staff. My daughter's current teacher has a Master's from Biola University and is currently working on a PhD. My husband and I love this community and we are proud to say our child attends Escalona. She absolutely raves about her teachers and love them dearly.
