Murrieta Elementary School

We love it here! We have been with this school for the last two years and have had many great experiences. With 4 children in the school now and 1 that has moved on to middle school from here, we couldn't be happier. Many have stepped up from the teachers to the special ed teachers to make sure our children's needs were met. Great teachers and excellent VP.

Horrible, I pulled both of my children out of this school. It wasn't that my children were failing; it was the teachers who failed my children. My children are doing extremely well in their new school. VP should be the principal. Mr. Z teaching style is very harmful if your child doesn t fit into his perfect mold that he personally sets. If your child has a mild cases of ADD don t allow your child to be in his class. He will cause permanent psychological damage to your child.

A very caring staff and a administrative staff who listen.

New to the district, new to this school, we do not like it. The VP should be the principle, the principle should just not be there. She is nice, soft spoken and a little to passive. If you have a kid who is middle of the road, the school is fine. My oldest is not being challenged. Repeating work from her previous year at the other school, complains about being bored. My youngest has mild special needs and they have managed to slid him through saying everything is just fine...yet just this year his grades have dropped from b's to c/d's... meeting after meeting after meeting I get no where... Im over it...we will try a differnt school next year!

My son has been in this school since Kindergarden. This school has excellent teachers who focus on keeping parents informed and involved. The teachers care about their students' academic success. The school is very organized and I am grateful my son is attending this school and look forward to my daughter starting next year.

My son has been to other schools in other states and this school is by far the best. This school is beyond my expectations. The teachers are very well involved in the students and the parents are always informed of what is going on and both work to make things better for the student. There are so many extracurricular activities that the students can participate in. My only thing is paying for all these after school clubs can get expensive. My son has so much fun and he has done so much better since he started here.

This is a good school. The teachers are involved and are willing to work with the parents and students to ensure that student does well. There are miscellaneous extracurricular activities. Running club, odessy of the mind, drama club, choir. Oftentimes there are extra afterschool activities for a fee - science club, chess club.

My son attended Murrieta for his 4th and 5th grade year. Murrieta school district standards are a lot higher than the school district we moved from, which made me a little concerned about my son's ability to meet the requirements. His teachers and the school were wonderful in ensuring he recieved extra instructions were needed. In just a few months he was up to speed with the other students and was excelling in some areas.
