John Muir Elementary School

John Muir is such a wonderful place for my kids. Not only they have the loving nourishing staff, but a very strong academic. Love it!

As a parent of a student who attends John Muir and as an employee of the Cupertino Union School District I think that if you have a child going to school here you are pretty darn lucky. There are great teachers and parent support. People should feel pretty lucky to live and have their kids go to school in the CUSD.

My son transferred from Collins two years ago, and he is much happier in John Muir. It's a smaller school, and we get to know many families in the school. We are very happy with John Muir, and feel really lucky to make the right decision to transfer to the school.

I am very happy with John Muir. I truly respect the teachers. They are caring, and they work hard to make learning fun. It is not easy to teach in the Cupertino district as the families here demand a lot. I think with all the pressure, budget cuts, etc, they are doing a grand job. Yes, the Principal is new, but she works hard and she is very dedicated to the school.

My oldest is now in High School and my youngest is about to start Grade 1 at this school. over the years, I have seen a few teachers come and go and the present Principal is brand new. But this school remains, IMHO, the best in this area with very dedicated, committed albeit sometimes exhausted & overworked(aren't we all human?) staff. Couldn't ask for a better school at the elementary level.

The teachers and staff are all very caring and envolved in student needs. My child loves going to school every day. The curriculum is based on state standards.

I am disappointed with the school at John Muir, especially w/the some of the teachers. Sadly, with so many budget cuts we are unable to hire or keep good and talented teachers. What we are left with are some teachers who don't appear to enjoy what they are doing and seem to patronize the parents. This should be a red flag for parents. Despite some of the problems, parents here are dedicated and largely b/c of them, our students do strive. Check this school out, and see for yourself. Although, there are a few wonderful teachers, staff members, and a hard working principal, this school receives a C+ from me.
