This is the best Elementary school around! I cannot express in words how impressed I am with the staff. My daughter is in Miss Bruners kindergarten class this year. She entered kindergarten behind in the social aspects of it, and has just blossemed this year. I LOVE Miss B, she is the best kinder teacher I have ever came across. They are all great. We love Mr. Ray, and appriciate his dedication to the children. I volunteer at kindergarten, and am always so happy when I see how involved the teachers are. Thank you Bonsall West for going above and beyond.
We are a military family and a parents to 4 children, and this is my oldest daughter's 4th elementary school. We have seen what else is out there, and by far, this school rocks it! From the smartboards and technology the students are using daily, to the genuine care from the teachers, to the outstanding principal, this is top quality. We are excited to be at Bonsall West, and even more excited the kids can stay here for a bit. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for top notch academics, a caring staff, and up-to-date technology. My children look forward to going to school each day and have never asked to stay home - even wanting to go when they are sick. Thank you BW for being a greta partner is my children's education.
I am a military wife and we move around a lot. This school by far is the best all around! The principal Mr. Ray is so wonderful! More schools should push to have a principal that loves kids and makes them excited about school and learning! I will be very sad when we have to leave! Go to a Morning Sing on Friday 8:00 and you will see for yourself!
My daughter's first year in this school and couldn't be happier. We like that the teachers are involved with the student's academic progress. School ground is beautiful and very clean.. Plenty of great activities year round and many opportunities for parental involvement.
I have 4 kids and 3 have already attended. We love the environment and the extra school activities. The teachers are always willing to listen and help our children succeed. The Principle is energetic and the kids just adore him. There is plenty of opportunity for parent involvement and we really love the feeling community at the school.
My children have attended Bonsall West for 2 1/2 years now and we are very pleased with the school. Mr. Ray, the new principal this year is very well liked by both students and parents. He is very approachable and open to new ideas. His Friday moring assemblies promote high morale and unity for the entire school. The teachers we've had have been great. The PTA works really hard to provide more for the children in terms of library books, field trips, classroom grants and more. There is a good after school program. I would encourage more parents to get involved in their child's classrooms and in the PTA to make it an even better school. Overall, very happy.
Bonsall West is one of the best schools in North County San Diego with a great staff, hard working student body, and a high level of parent support.
This school is FABULOUS! I have 3 children that attend Bonsall West and I can't say enough about how great it is. The teachers are VERY informative and have constant communication with the parents. I feel like I always know what is happening in my childrens' classes. Parents are very involved with school activities and the PTA is wonderful and welcoming. Mr. Ray, the principal, is new to the school this year and totally rocks. If you are new to the area or a parent with questions about the school, call and ask if you can attend the Friday assembly. Within 30 minutes, you can tell this school has positive, engaged teachers, students who care about their education and respect of others and a leader (Mr. Ray) who is positive, energetic and inspiring to all he leads. Bonsall West is the best school my children have ever attended!
the teachers are not that great there are better teachers at my daughters old school and the principal is way out of his league
We have children in K & 1st grade. This is an awesome school! We are so happy to part of this community and school.
