We too have been through three principals and have an 8th grader and 3rd grader. The school has changed, but I attribute that to the quick growth and the priority schools forcing faculty turn over at a high rate. It's hard to keep a culture through so much change, but I believe they will be successful. We still think the positives outweigh the negatives - which to us is the growing attitude of elitism. Our family is highly involved (and has been so we are familiar with the daily happenings and vibe). This attitude is mostly present in the middle school. We chose LdV in part for the K - 8 but were very disappointed in the ms. They track the kids, and it's basically the haves and have nots in treatment, instruction, and attitude. My low teacher rating is mostly based the instruction in ms - for the most part is very traditional, not integrated instruction. If your child is a linguistic and auditory learner he/she should do well - all other learners beware. The ms does not teach the whole child or follow the other tenents of the school. Ms. Davis, like all of us, has strengths and weaknesses, but was one of the only bright spots with our middle school experience.

I have to disagree. My family has been at LdV through 3 principals and Mrs. Davis is the best. The discipline problems that were very apparent in the middle school have virtually disappeared. She knows every student by sight, and gets to their eye level when she talks to them. I think the children understand her, and feel heard by her.

This school is great. Although I have a problem with the principle Ms. Davis. She treats the kids like their adults. Yes, my 3rd grader and 8th grader. And she oversteps bounds when she talks to kids. Great school but this is something to consider. Ms. Davis is not a very nice person

The program they have for this school is great. I love that they also have sports for the kids. The education they get and the activities are out standing.

The science and art based learning provides a creative learning environment for my child. Parent participation grows a close community of families working together to grow a healthy school.

This is one of the best school in the Sacramento City Unified School District and it offers programs that others schools don't due to high level of parent involvement.

LdV offers a fabulous learning environment for our kids. Not only it's foundation of ITI (Integrated Thematic Instruction), integrating the much needed arts and science with the help of parent volunteers. You've heard that it takes a village to raise a child....we have a wonderful village of families working together to help educate our kids. We were awarded the California Distinguished Schools award last year.It's not only about test scores at our school, it's about honoring the learner as the unique individual they are. Not to mention our incredible Principal, teachers and support staff....they're what makes it all happen!

My daughter has been attending LDV for the last 6 years! We have met life long friends among parents and teachers. Everyone works for the same goal the child. The school has done nothing but enrich our daughters live from all the field trips to working along with parents and teachers that care every day. She is going to leave this school a much better person. I have never seen a school that runs so well.I have enjoyed everyone of my volunteer hours. I myself will miss this great school when she graduates.

LdV is a haven in the California public school system. Because all families select to go there and are enrolled through the lottery, there is high parent participation and motivation to see things work and work well. The teachers for the most part are very experienced, dedicated and multi talented. LdV has managed to weather NCLB and still have some semblance of art, music, history and science in the classroom. Keep in mind however, that the bar is low in CA. Nonetheless, this school turns out some impressive results and it due to both the Integrated learning philosphy, great teachers, and an organized group of parents who devote time to both their kids and the school.

My daughter went to school here last year for kindergarten and loved it immensely. Excellent curriculum, the teacher was always in touch with us about what is going on in class. I only wish I could find a school like LDV where we moved to. My daughter has made life long friends she writes to. We will miss every one at LDV
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 15, 2008

While LdV purports to offer a broad curriculum, with science and the arts, we did not find it so. The art and science offered in this magnet school is pretty wrote and does not really engage the children. The teachers in the lower grades rush through the art, and the children are often just putting together pieces of an art project prepared by the teacher, just so they can get an end product. We also found the parent body clickish and not that warm. LdV did not deliver on its promise for us.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
