Avaxat Elementary School

This is my daughter's 2nd year at Avaxat Elementary, and she is thriving academically. She transferred from another elementary school in Murrieta and was dreading the move. One of the things I really appreciated was how the students were so friendly and made her feel welcome. She's she gotten straight A's and is on the honor roll. She has great friends and loves her teacher's. What more could a parent ask for?

My son is in second grade, and has had two teachers this year. Both have made him feel very sad and despondent. He went from a bubbly, happy child to a child with vey low self esteem. he is easily distracted, and a tad forgetful, not uncommon for a 7 year old. His teacher writes things on his papers that are very negative. The principal seems to want to work with us, but the teacher, FLAT OUT refused email and written communication with me. She does not seem to care that only one of her students is lagging a bit. SAD :( . She seems to lack both compassion and understanding. Boo on her.

Both of my children attended Avaxat. They had great teachers from kindergarten through 5th grade! Teachers challenged them and had high expectations for all students. It was a wonderful elementary experience for my kids! The staff is like a family. Avaxat is a very positive place for kids and parents.

My nieces went there and it still has the best comprehensive curriculum and top teaching staff, best programs for the students, and there is great caring and supportive nuturing for the students by the faculty at all levels, the teachers take and continue to have the best care and concern for all the students and parents and go the extra distance to ensure the students receive the best help from home also, their security for the students is great, and all workers there treat the kids as if they were their own.

My child has been at Avaxat since kindergarten, and is now in fifth grade. The school is great for children who have no learning disabilities, but seems to overlook those who need help unless they are failing. Acedemic problems needto be coprrected before they result in failure.

My child has been at Avaxat for 2 years, and I truly love it. They have an awesome program of encouraging good behavior. Every morning begins with all classes meeting together in the quad for announcments, reciting the Avaxat pledge (I am somebody. I am capable and loveable. I am teachable, I can learn. I respect myself and others) and sometimes a song or awards. Mr C, the principal, is respectful and interested in how each child is doing and what they need, he knows all the kids and they all like him, my son feels comfortable talking to him about anything. The teachers respect each other and work together. The pta programs and events are beneficial, ie Reflections art program, Mother Daughter day, camping on the field, kindergarten nutcracker play for the whole school each year, and more.

This is a excellent school.Top rated in my mind.My daughter went to kindergarten there in the 04-05 school year.The entire kindergarten staff is great.They are very positive at all times and understanding and care.We know other parents and kids in the neighborhood that are very satisfied with results.If possible it's a great place to send your child to school.Proably one of the best elementary public schools available.

I have two children at Avaxat and one who has already graduated. I am impressed with the quality of teachers and their compasion for their job and students. The principal is a great person too! She knows all the kids and always has a smile on her face. I feel my children are blessed to go to such a great school.
