Principal turned teacher morale and the student test scores around, and increased accountability all around. Better quality than our private school was at a teenie fraction of the cost (purchase of something at a gala fundraiser - a deal!)
Since the principal took over a couple of years ago Loma has come on leaps and bounds. All the staff are good, but many are outstanding. The school is friendly and effectively crime free. Such a wonderful school
Great place for kids to be kids and get a great education. Small classes, teachers that really care about getting the students involved. Close knit community with kids and the schools being a top priority.
Loma Prieta elemenatary school is an outstanding school that creates a nurturing and learning environment for the students
The Principal Cory Kidwell, the teachers, the staff, every person involved in this school does an amazing job. They know your name, they know your child and they know what's going on at home and how it may affect your child. Children are taught respect for themselves, for each other and for the environment. I feel incredibly fortunate to have my second child have the opportunity to attend this amazing school.
Loma and CT are great, especially under the leadership of the new principal Kidwell and board. Morale has improved significantly among parents and teachers, and they are striving to make teachers do the best for the kids. Private school environment in a public school.
We are so happy with the changes in the school this year. Our child is getting a solid year in a small, intimate setting. Loma is the best!
I have two children at Loma Prieta. While there is always room for improvement I am very pleased with the school overall. I love the small class sizes, the emphasis on excellence in all areas (not just test scores), and the strong community feel.
I love our teachers and staff at LPE, a truly magical place for our kids to learn!
We just moved here.My kids are in kindergarten and first grade.They just love it here.Teachers give personal attention to each and every child and parent involvement is awesome.Reading levels are really good.They can do much better in math though.
