This is an excellent elementary school with wonderful teachers and a principal who stays on top of things. One of the best in the school district!

Terra Vista is a great elementary school, like many in the Rancho Cucamonga area. I have two kids that attend Terra Vista. PTA is active and the school puts on events during the year that draw in the kids and parents for fun activities. Last year they did a carnival (big top bash), brought in players from the Ontario Reign for a night, and many other activities put on by major volunteer work by parents and PTA. I also wanted to point out, since there aren't many current reviews, that the old review knocking the principal from 4/10/10 is totally different than my experience, must have had a bad run in or a bad day. This principal is on it, listens to feedback, is friendly and approchable yet takes control when necessary. Staff top down is great.

I have 2 girls at Terra Vista. My husband and I are very pleased with this school. The teachers are wonderful; they do a great job teaching and are very dedicated, supportive, and caring. The prinicipal is awesome. She is very approachable, respectful, and has a passion for education and cares about the academic needs of the children. She interacts well with both students and parents. We are so happy to be a part of this school.

Most of the teachers at this school are excellent. Unfortunately the principal is lacking in effective communication and making well thought out decisions. Last year there were teacher issues in both kinder and 3rd grade resulting in a lot of upset parents who complained to our princpal and district. This year started out with a new recess rule where they have to take a knee and then sit when waiting in line, which by the way is what they do in juvy. Many parents complained and also let the school know that it wasn't ok for their kids to sit on the hot cement (it was over 100 when this was started). Not until after complaints did she go and get carpet remnants to try and fix the problem. How well thought out was that. There have been a lot of other problems also, but it's too many to list.

I have 2 kids who attend terra vista. my daughter is in 1st grade (a 1st/2nd combo class) and my son is in 4th grade. both have attended since kindergarten. this is a great school, and I have very few issues, and those were handled quickly and effectivly by the principal and or teachers. yes, there s always room for improvement at any school- but terra vista is pretty great, and I have no real complaints. I only wish the kids had more play time, and less in class time, but this just a flaw of the educational system and not terra vista. the teachers are great and work hard for the kids and in my opinion need more help. I hope to be able to help out in class more next year when my littlest is a bit older.

Terra Vista is the best thing that has ever happened to my child. Outstanding academics, test scores, differentiated instruction, safe atmosphere, wonderful teachers and of course a superior principal. Mrs. Peace is an awesome wonder! She personally involves herself with students, parents and faculty. I completely trust her every day with my child's well-being and I am a very selective person when it comes to my child! I am proud to be a part of the Terra Vista family.
