Prunedale Elementary School

I love Prunedale Elementary and so do my kids. The drop off and pick up procedures are very well organized which is a huge plus for me. After having my children attend another school in the area, Im super grateful to have the come here. Its still early on in the school year but so far I love both my children's teachers. When I tell my friends and family who their teachers are, I hear "oh, she's a really good teacher!" and so on =) Last year at the other school, Homework used to take us 2 hours and was very difficult for my oldest to do on her own. Now, the homework my daughter brings home is done within an hour and she can do much of it on her own. It's not that the HW is any easier, just given to her in a way she can understand. This is beneficial to our entire house because homework time can make it a difficult time when both child and parent are frustrated with it consuming so much time. The ladies in the office are always very helpful, being greeted with a smile should be a MUST in all school offices. I can't wait to get to see how the rest of the school year goes.

Too rule based... too many chiefs (yard duties).. Some very good teachers, but that is true at any school.

They do not know how to deal with the kids. It is not a good school.

My daughter attended Kindergarten and just completed first grade. She is doing temendously well, the teachers are wonderful, and the students are friendly. She loves it and so do I. Another great perk is the after school program Kid Zone, Nell is a great teacher and my daughter shows great interest in the activities that go on there as well.

I am proud to say that all 3 of my children attend Prunedale School. My husband actually attended there also. It is a great school, most of the teachers have taught there for many years. The Yard duties keep things running smoothly and Mr. Dutro, our Principal is in touch with the children and is a strong presence.

I think Prunedale School is an exceptional school environment. Mr.Dutro, the principal, guides the school with knowledge and compassion. The teachers I have encountered over the past two years are supportive of children and families and are truly passionate about their chosen profession. I am glad that my son attends and look forward to his positive growth in this environment for two more years.
