Parkside Elementary School

The Montessori program here is amazing! Teachers are dedicated, skilled, and in tune with their students. Love the synergy and parent involvement is more than I have seen at any other school!

Parkside is truly a great school, a secret treasure of San Mateo. The Montessori program is truly special and has been an excellent experience for both of my children. They are both really excelling in it. Both the Montessori and regular track teachers are extreemly dedicated. There is a new pricipal this year, who is also very motivated and dedicated to providing a great environment for our kids to succeed in. Don't only look at test scores to judge.

I absolutely love the school and everything about it from the helpful front office and passionate teachers, to the abundance of energetically-involved parents. I went to Parkside myself as a young child and carry with me many fond memories of those innocent days. I would highly recommend this school to all my friends.

The staff at Parkside is the greatest! They truly care for their students and it shows. My children rave about school and constantly recap the events of the day and share how much they've learned. They never want to be late or absent.

Great school, good community, great staff, great support staff

Parkside rocks! It emphasizes reading and writing as well as providing a challenging yet encouraging environment for children to learn and grow.

I attended Parkside School in the early 70's, and all three of my children have and or are currently attending. The Montessori program is an exceptional program and is a real asset to the school district. The teachers at parkside are dedicated and have helped my children get ready for middle school, High School and one of my children that has just started at UC Davis with a 5.0 grade point average. I am very proud of the teachers past and present that have helped guide my children to do their very best in school!
