Anthony Spangler Elementary School

My daughter is going to Spangler since KG. The teachers are really great. They are so dynamic, dedicated and smart. After talking to them, felt like this is the place where my daughter has to be.

There is a strong commitment at Spangler to providing a quality education. The school has raised their test scores from previously lower levels, and was recently declared a California Distinguished School. Students and parents are encouraged to participate. Classes rotate in helping out in the cafeteria, and there are occasional door prizes. The playground is well-maintained. Every student has lunch with the principal at least once. Good behavior is rewarded with 'Spangler dollars', which students can periodically use to purchase toys etc. Teachers are genuinely interested in the children.

My son and daughter both attended Spangler. I was very impressed with the kindergarten program, I found the teacher, Mrs. Singleton to be an excellent teacher who was very willing to speak with parents. The first grade program was a wonderful follow up, and Mrs. Starr managed a varied and demanding class in 2004/05. Although I think highly of the intermediate teachers, I felt the overall curriculum lacked organization and did not prepare the students for entry into middle school. Overall, it is a distiguished school for a reason.

Spangler is a great school and the teachers and staff work very hard to make it a clean, safe environment to learn in. The educational programs at Spangler are detailed and well thought out as is the path taken to plan and execute the annual plan. Parental involvement could be better and the staff and PTA work hard to make sure that parents that want to get involved with a child's education have many opportunities to do so. Spangler is a forward thinking school and as such is always looking to improve the quality of education.
