Santa Teresa Elementary School

This is a great school. There are a lot of fun activities and parent support. Students' are challenged and learn about a variety of subjects: Language Arts, Math, Music, Art, etc. The teachers, staff and principal are amazing! I could not have asked for a better elementary school experience for my child.

I love this school so much. I think this is the best school ever attended by my kids because they have learned a lot academically. We came here almost 3 years ago and I can say that their english has been improving a lot. The teachers are so friendly and ask your questions regarding your child's progress. They also have this conferences which I love the most because we don't only talk about my kids' grades and how they are doing in class but also give us helpful tips on how to enrich what they have learned and improve their weak points. It's actually a cooperation between a parent and a teacher. Most of all, the students are friendly and very respectful, no bullies around..Thank you Santa Teresa!!!

I have one child in 3rd and another in 6th who has been here since kindergarten. Most of the time things have been wonderful. Lots of parent involvement, fun activities, educational and cultural field trips, theater arts, music and art programs, etc...Good amount of homework. All of my children's teachers have been top-notch. There are a few that need to work on proper discipline and positive reinforcement instead yelling and negativity. This year we have the 4th principal in the 7 years my oldest has been going here. That is a lot of new rules and ways to do things for the students as well as the teachers. Many students complain of way too many rules that do not make sense and seem like a burden. Many parents and some teachers agree but principal doesn't listen. Other than problems with the principal, it is a great school.

It is an excellent school. My daughter has been there for 5 years and has had wonderful teachers. Two of them are Mrs. Lavelle & Mrs. Barth. They have been there for many years and have excellent teaching experience. I would definitely recommend this school.

Poor communication skill and professionalism

S.T. has a group of exceptional parents that are involved in all fundraising & school functions. You have to be really involved with the school activities to find the 'good' teachers. The principal shows a pattern to be lenient with children with behavioral issues & points out insignificant things with the good children.

Good solid elementary school. Nothing special, but also nothing bad.

My child has attended ST for the past 5 years. 4 out of 5 years, she has had exceptional teachers. They srive for equity not equality amongst their students. I have been very impressed how the school is able to deliver quality instruction to students with varying abilities. The school also has fun events such as the Harvest Festival in the Fall. My one wish is the school would do a School play or a Holiday production.

Overall a good school. My child has grown immensely there. However, the principal is a bit unaccesible.
