Del Roble Elementary School

I am so impressed with the principal of Del Roble. She works so hard to support this community. She doesn't wait for parents to come to her. She goes to the parents - even visiting homes. You will always find a few elitist parents who base everything on test scores and how many carnivals are held each year. But, our principal works to bring parents into the school. She has improved technology and brought an English Language class for our many bi-lingual students. She respects the different cultures at our school and doesn't cater to any particular group. We are not a rich community and our families have many needs. You won't find too many principals and staff that give parents a ride to school and give school supplies to students who are needy. I can't wait until my next child enters kindergarten at Del Roble next year.

I cannot believe that someone wrote that horrible school. I have two sons who are attending in this school . I know all the teacher here, they are very knowledgeable. The principal is very friendly and helpful. I love this school, and I wish my third one can still join in Kindergarten of this school

This used to be a great school but, despite concerned and caring teachers, but the principal has allowed this school to consistently fail its students. Parents are isolated from the school and all of the fun events which used to take place there have been disposed of. The school consistently fails to reach its API or provide even a proficient level of education.

Wow! I can't believe the most recent rating someone posted. I was afraid of this school too when I read the the test scores and the rating on this site. The principal, Mrs. Ross does her best to work with the students staff to be a good school regardless of ratings and test scores. I think if you have problem with the school, make an appointment with Mrs. Ross and speak directly to her with your concern. Don't come here and knock a school down when I've personally seen the teachers do what is possible to give my child the best education they can.

Horrible School, do not see how people have rated it this high. Perhaps immigrants from third world countries. Poor teaching, horrible communication, rude unscrupulous individuals employed at this school. If there was a school that should be shut down due to budget cuts, this school should definitely be one of them. This school needs a major overhaul. Hopefully the government will step in and make some much needed changes.

The teachers here are friendly, the staff is loving. It's like an extended family. They even look forward to seeing my baby every week when I pick up the kids! My children's education is great! My kindergartener is so advanced he is reading his third grade sister's sight words!

The principal and teachers go beyond the call of duty to help families.

I have had 1 child graduate from this school with a learning issue and another one currently there. The teachers and the office staff know how to handle their business

The best school I don't know why its rated so low. They have a very good 1st grade teacher that is Bi-Lingual and she connects with the children very well. So many of the other teachers are so dedicated to their work.
