Linda Vista is at best a substandard school. The teachers who truly care about the progression of their students are undermined by teachers who do not teach to basic standards. We felt out child was not being given the minimum necessary to succeed and promote academic confidence. When we spoke to the principal at length we were told that she was surprised by our concerns. Nothing changed. It's shameful that poor performing teachers are allowed to stay. The district needs to "clean house". Caring, excited to teach teachers are out there. Our kids deserve what other schools in the district already have.
Sadly, I don t believe that Linda Vista is a good school let alone great. They have not passed state testing 3 of the last 4 years. For many reasons, I feel that the administration office is poorly run to the detriment of the students and teachers. The office lost all of my son s paperwork, including his birth certificate. Let s just say, a year and a half later I still worry about identity theft due to the unfound paperwork. I believe there are a few very dedicated parents, who work hard to improve the school, but most do not.
Linda Vista is a great school, it has a very small town feel about it. Everyone knows you and the PTA is a great group of parents. All the kids are great, very respectful and kind. We moved to the area mid year when my son started and we couldn't be happier. They made him feel right at home, i never heard one complaint from him. It's a wonderful school!
My son is in kindergarden at Linda Vista. I am amazed at how fast he is learning. His teacher, Mrs. Hagin is wonderful. My only problem with it is that there are two schools in the same district that are closer to me.
Linda Vista has an excellent, caring principal who recognizes the diverse student population attending Linda Vista. The programs and the dedication shown to the students by the teachers, the administrative staff, the PTA and parents, all help to create an environment conducive to learning regardless of race or economic level. Linda Vista is a wonderful school and we are fortunate to have such a fine school in the Saddleback District.
This a great school. The staff is very dedicated. The TLC program is terrific. My children are receiving an outstanding education.
Linda Vista is a great school with a diverse student population. We have a strong PTA and wonderful teachers. My son has graduated and is doing very well at La Paz and my daughter in third grade is getting a wonderful education.
This school has a wonderful, nuturing and caring staff. Although this school is more racilly diverse for our South County area, I feel it is a stand-out school in education.
