David Lubin Elementary School

I think Mountain Hill is an excellent school. Between the wonderful, caring staff and the outside the box teaching, there's no other school private or public, that can compare. Keep up the good work!

Excellent staff. The teachers are really committed to making sure the children have a well rounded education, despite budget cuts. They have a great arts program and the facility is really nice. The principle seems to run the school with a firm but kind hand, just what children of this age need. The parents are really involved with the school too. They were awarded the California Distinguished school this year too.

Amazing teachers. I really feel like they care and connect with the pupils here. We toured a few other high stat schools and this take the cake by far. They have great fund raising events too which help to raise money for the arts etc... Keep up the good work

David Lubin is an amazing school and we are so lucky to have our son there! The teachers are remarkable, engaging, experienced and caring. The staff is excellent - from Janitor to lunch Monitor to Office Staff to Librarian - these adults truly care about our kids and work to help them grow and learn daily. We couldn't ask for a better school! The parent involvement is impressive, and the PTG funds amazing after school enrichment programs for the students. We are so grateful to David Lubin and everyone who makes it awesome!

David Lubin is the best school around! It has a very tight knit, community atmosphere. We have the most amazing teachers, fabulous art and cooking programs, 5 aides who assist with Language Arts and math, 2 lovely learning gardens, an outstanding Parent Teacher Group, a very high level of parent participation, an after school academy that offers a variety of fun and educational classes, a wonderful library and very dedicated librarian and the most fantastic student body that is respectful and always ready to learn! David Lubin rocks!!!

I am so pleased with the staff and programs at David Lubin. The after school enrichment programs that include everything from engineering with legos, to landscape art, chorus, guitar and more. It's so rare to have so many electives for the kids in public schools today. The PTG is phenominal at raising funds to help fund the full-time librarian, extra teacher's aides, and the afterschool programs. I don't think there's a better school around that has so much diversity and achievement all rolled into one. It's wonderful.

I love this school. Lots of parent involvement. The principal and teachers and front office are terrific to work with. They honestly care about your kids and want the best for them. My kids have thrived and grown while at this school. This helps ease my mind since they are at school more than at home now. The PTG is terrific and find ways to help bring in funds to be able to offer diversified classes to enhance the students learning. I just Love it all !

David Lubin is a wonderful neighborhood school. The structure from the principal, combined with the wonderful teachers really add up to a successful school. The PTG is incredible when it comes to raising funds and contributing to the education of each child with field trip funds, art teacher, after school programs and music programs. Incredible school.

David Lubin exceeds my expectations! My daughter recently graduated and my son is in the GATE program and actually comes home excited about his day. The parental involvement is astounding and the diversity makes everything just right.

My son is a special needs child and requires lots of routine, patience and understanding. He came as a kinder. I heard goods things about the teacher. I observed the class on occasions and was simply amazed how the teacher and aide brought out the best in each child. I was so concerned with the challenges that I didn't realize all the STRENGTHS my child has. Thank you.

David Lubin is not only academically challenging for my son and fellow students, but the teachers & staff go above and beyond expectation to ensure success of each student. The school garden, the book faires, the festivals, the GATE program and the after school programs are a fantastic enrichment for our children. I couldnt be more satisfied with David Lubin. GO DINOSAURS!

David Lubin is a wonderful neighborhood school - definitely the best school in east sacramento. The teachers are so dedicated. Many have or had their own children attend David Lubin. There is a wonderful art teacher, a school garden, cooking in the classroom, an incredible library and librarian, and a fantastic after school academy. I feel very fortunate that my children can go to this school.

I just love David Lubin. Our 17 year old went during the 90's and our 8 year old has been there for the last three years. The immersion GATE program is amazing and I love the diversity of the school. I just wish that the GATE programs were more diverse than they are. The teachers, administration and other parents are all very involved.

Excellent immersion GATE program with split grade classes. Dedicated teaching staff with good morale. Good community support, high level of parent volunteer activity. Nice facility. Some behavioral problems with students bussed in from other communities. Principal has recently changed.

The academic quality has fallen this year (possibly due to having no perm. Principle). As a parent, I know that I am no longer offering my time and effort to a school and school district that doesn't seem to care. The Arts Academy at David Lubin is wonderful. The kids really love having dance, musical instruction and plays to learn.
