Los Coyotes Elementary School

So glad the old principal is gone. School is great for students and parents who are exceptional and smart. If not, then the staff and teachers want as little to do with you as possible. Do the teachers a favor and only send your children there if they will score a perfect 600 on their state tests, be quiet in the classroom, and not ask any questions. I'd send my child to another school but I hear that this is the best school in the district. shudder

My child transferred to Los Coyotes after Walter Knott Elementary School unexpectedly closed. At first I was disappointed that my child would have to attend a different school. It is a longer drive for us in the morning. Yet it is small price too pay, because little did we know LOS COYOTES would be a blessing in disguise. What an extreme difference from Walter Knott Elementary(RIP)! At Los Coyotes we have parents who volunteer, participate, and are involved in their children's education. At last a breath of fresh air. Kudos to the awesome office staff Sherry Martinez is outstanding! Finally a Principal that is visible, fun, friendly, positive and energetic. The only thing we miss about Walter Knott is the wonderful teachers, nothing else! In my opinion, Los Coyotes is the ideal model of a "close to perfect school". Keep up the good work!

I love the principal and both of the teachers my kids have. They are very high tech, in terms of teaching on smart boards, as well as communicating via the internet and phone messages...trying to be more green. They don't overdo the fundraisers, and have a heart for doing the right thing.

I think this school is great. My daughter is very happy here. The principal works with the parents and kids. The teachers are really great with kids. I loved the combo class when my daughter was with upper grade. SHe loved the challenge.

Los Coyotes is a good school, but the combo class was a real detriment to my child. I knew in September that the combo class was not going to be a good idea and now that the school year is over, it unfortunately became a truth. It seems as if my child wasted a year. As good as the teachers are at this school, they cannot possibly be able to handle this type of teaching. No one can...

This school is great. The Principal is hands down one of the best leaders I have ever come across. We have never been very involved in our childrens school before Los Coyotes, but the PTSO is so welcoming to everyone we couldn't help but want to be involved. The teachers are awesome! My kids love each of their teachers and so do we. The icing on the cake is the great API scores! We are so lucky to be a part of this school.

When selecting a school, you need to consider many factors. By choosing Los Coyotes, all of your needs are met! The principal is an experienced leader whom the children adore. All of the teachers have the children's needs at the forefront of their daily work, and are truly concerned with there welfare, despite the enormous budget cuts to staff and programs. The PTSO is a STRONG organization, and have great parental involvement, and can provide many things for the children and teachers. Overall, I could not be happier with my decision to send my children to this school.

The office staff at Los Coyotes is wonderful!!! Anytime I have a question or concern they are always helpful. It's sad that there is not enough money in the budget for them to have a full staff all day, but they work with what they are given.
