Del Sur Elementary School

We are so lucky that our son attends Del Sur. At first we were a little concerned because we actually live in the district for Stone Ranch. However that school is at capacity, so we were sent to Del Sur- and I couldn't be more pleased. Mr. Johnson is an outstanding principal who loves the kids and is totally dedicated to their success. The PTSA is terrific and as a result the school receives more funding thatn many other schools. Further, Parental involvment is really strong.

We are so lucky to be at this school! Prinicpal Johnson is the BEST principal and provides such care and leadership to the school. The teachers are stellar and provide over and above in academics, as well as, a caring and nurturing environment for our kids. Wish the school went through 8th grade!

This school is AMAZING....from teachers to the vounteers and cirriculum! The first grade and kindergarden classes both have 1:1 laptops! The reading and math scores are soaring! Principal Johnson has dedication and great leadership skills. The PTA has added such a fun and spirited culture to the school it makes you look forward to the volunteerism which in turn make the kids thrive when parents get involved!! This school is so remarkable for its academic success and it's sense of community due to large parent involvement!

I can't say enough great things about this school. Del Sur Elementary has what you would expect from a great school --top notch teachers and a great leader in Mr. Johnson, the school principal. But even on top of all of this, for a public school in a very big school district like PUSD - DSE very much has the small-school feel of a private school community. The parents are very involved and it is clear that the philosophy of the school leadership is to help each of our children achieve their highest potential -- and doing so with a focus on "21st century learning" -- preparing them in ways that will help them adapt to their changing world and how technology can be used as a tool to advance their learning. It truly is a special place and I feel so lucky and happy to have my children enrolled there.

This is a fantastic school. The setting of the school and classrooms are so well equipped and tastefully designed . it feels like your kid is in a science/literary museum. Very well done and the teaching staff is great. Doug Johnson who is the Principal knows almost all kids by their first names. He is such a dedicated guy and a visionary. School has such good emphasis on Math and Reading. My kids has just finished Kindergarten and he has learned a lot. We love everything about this school. and really looking forward to another great year at this school.

Del Sur is a great school that is conservative. They don t try to push a bunch of socializing programs on our children. Parents are responsible for raising his/her children and Del Sur understands that. Del Sur is only responsible for teaching accurate history, math, science, and English. The only con so far is the PTA is a little annoying.

There are some many factors that make Del Sur Elementary great, but all starts with great leaders. The principal, teachers, PTA, and staff are truly committed to provide our children with not only the best education, but also the best environment. There is always people going the extra mile to make sure of it. This school has heart! kids love Del Sur and are getting an excellent education.

The teachers and principal are the best. Very involved and want to make a difference. It's better than a private education. The facility is beautiful.

It's a wonderful learning and fun atmosphere for the students. I had the pleasure of volunteering in my son's class twice a month. The teachers, staff and principal are top-notch!
