My son is in kindergarten at Toler, and I couldn't be happier. He is writing full paragraphs, and can read books designated for second graders. They also have a lot of scince exposure I wasn't expecting in kindergarten, and he will occasionally have science experiments to do as homework. The icing on the cake is there are only 15 students per class in K-2 thanks to a study Toler is in regarding lowering class sizes. This is the level I would expect in an expensive private school!

I have three sons who attended Toler and they were very successful. The principal, teachers, staff, and parent volunteers are absolutely fabulous. I couldn't have asked for a more supportive environment for my children to to be educated. The campus is really lovely and all of the buildings are in great shape. My husband and I love attending all of the great programs and family fun nights. Our youngest child will be attending kidnergarten at Toler in the Fall. We know that she will be receiving a fantastic education at this school.

I have a first grader attending Toler Elementary and a child that just graduated from Toler. I couldn't have chosen a better school. All the teachers and staff are highly motivated to help anyway they can and the principal is incredible! Toler also has many voluteers which are made up of parents, retired teachers, and even an ex- principal. People always want to come back to Toler Elementary because of the great atmosphere and caring staff. My sixth grader loved it, my first grader loves it and I love it and absolutaly recommend Toler Elementary school to anyone wanting the best for their child.

This is the first year of school of my children. My son was in kindergarden and my daugther was on 4th grade. I'm very proud of them because on this school they have a high level than before. The Toler school is great. The children have the oportunity to express their own way to learn and go foward.

My grandson has been attending Toler for four years now and we're very impressed with the challenging curriculum and dedicated teaching staff. A visit to the school is always a treat because there's always a school event coming up and students are encouraged to participate in as many activities as they have interests. Having helped out during holiday parties, field trips, etc,I can honestly say that alot of the parents participate as much as they can and are always encouraged to visit the campus. I'm also impressed by the level of caring and concern of the administrative staff and principal. Since the school is one of the last small neighborhood schools left in san diego, the staff and faculty seem to be on a first-name basis with every child and display a high-level of support and caring.

My two boys attend Toler, our neighborhood school. It is our first year and we have been extremely pleased. My other child attends an expensive, private school and the teaching at Toler has been every bit as impressive as the private school. My children have received an abundance of individual attention from there kindergarten teacher and have excelled at Toler (they are reading at a second grade level). They have also experienced learning outside the classroom with 3 field trips this year: The Old Globe, the Zoo, and a farm. It is a small school with an intimate atmosphere, yet has a very large and spacious campus overlooking the bay. About two-thirds of the students come from the neighborhood or choice in; one-third ride the bus. Toler has a great new principal this year and a brand new media center. I would recommend this school.
