I am a student at this school and I this school is the best.It has a pretty garden and a gardening teacher that bring students out to help and learn and the garden.It also has wonderful teachers.I'm not kidding.I've been here at this school for 6 years. It has wonderful programs.I love this school.
I have a 8 year old son that attends Ulloa and one more that will attend next year. The teachers and staff are excellent. My son loves every one of his teachers. By far the best way a child can learn is to be given a comfortable environment which includes but not limited to, teacher and student interaction, teachings of respectfulness towards others, being attentive towards the need of the children and getting the family to be involved in their child's learning. Ulloa has definitely met this. Thank you to all the staff of Ulloa.
I agree with the person who states that the principal could use CLAD training. The discipline that is meted out seems biased. Please be sure to obtain your own mental health specialist if the school counselor is "assigned" to your child for any reason whatsoever. Short of this, make your presence known daily, leaving little opportunity for questions about your involvement and awareness. This school gets one star only because you can't submit a review with NO star. And why are people identifying the teachers when it's against guidelines?
I had two children attend Ulloa. Over the the last 8 years, I have seen Ulloa transform from a good school to and outstanding TOP 10 one. Needless to say this could only happen with everyone on board to be the best they can be. Ulloa has done more with less than any other school. Kudos to the staff, but especially to the Principal. The principal's planning and guidance, are the main reasons for Ulloa's growth and success.
I'm the proud parent of one child who goes to Ulloa now, and another child who I am glad to say will follow her in a year. I think the principal is a strong leader who demands a high level of teaching. We all love Ulloa in our family.
The School is the Best School Ever of all of the elementary school in Sunset!
The school is good with student
Good school with very talent student and dedicated teachers and principal.
My 2 daughters are currently studying at Ulloa's bi-lingual classes. I would like to say thank you especially to the teachers, Mrs. Ng (K), Ms. Yu (2nd grade) & Mrs. Yin-Croft (3rd grade). They are great & experienced teachers, not only care about students' academic excellence, but also care of their personal growth well being. The principal, Ms. Fong is also an excellent & very smart school leader. She's easily to be reached by students & parents.
My daughter is a minor handicap in mobility. Because of that, she had been very shy and introverted before started kindergarten in 8/09. She is also an English learner. But she starting to open up in her class in a matter of a month! Her bilingual teacher is extremely helpful, kind yet sets discipline. She can teach 4 seasons and have the kids know them by heart in 10 minutes! The most impressive event, was that as soon as they heard about my daughter's condition, the principal, the room teacher and a few others in the school conducted a meeting with us on how to care for my daughter and help her exceed in class. I was breaking down in tears. You won't expect this kind of caring in a public school! My daughter now a much happier person, and excel academically as well! Thumbs up, Ulloa!
