J. H. McGaugh Elementary School

My son is going to McGaugh after attending private school. He is very happy with his teacher and classmates. Teachers, parents and the principal are very involve with the students. The schools environment is so wonderful for every student. I could not ask for a better school for my son.

We are very happy to be at McGaugh after attending another school in this district. McGaugh offers a wonderful, well-rounded, stimulating program. The classroom teachers, art teacher, music, and media center make this campus stand out from the others. The environment is much more "down to earth" than others we have experienced. Hooray that our children get to experience a wide variety of families and backgrounds (makes me proud to see all of the military families be a part of our campus). Great school!

My son attends McGaugh and we are so thrilled that he does. What a fantastic environment to be able to go to school at. It's newly remodeled/updated to today's technology and standards. The teachers have been so perfect for him and who he is - they encourage and reward him. My only sadness is that the wonderful extended daycare (Young Adventurers) is no longer and we must follow the path of Kids Korner. We were very very very fortunate to have at least been a small part of YA - we will miss them all!

My 3 children are students at this school. What a great environment to attend school in. Excellent teachers, involved parents, and an approachable dedicated principal. Mcgaugh's test scores are not indicative of the average students performance level. This is the only elementary in the district that hosts a special education program. Mcgaugh is a large school with a small school feel. My kids are happy, stimulated, challenged, and get so much from the incredible art, media center/computer lab, and field trips offered at this school. A very special school.

This school is above standars set for California schools. Thisschool raised a quarter of a million dollars between their PTA and project Seek. With the funds going to Promote Music, Art an amazing media center, field trips, teacher appreciation etc. McGaugh is also know for their dedication to special needs children.

My child has progressed immensely since her last school. We at first believed that we wouldn't fit in into another upscale public school but the parents at McGaugh are welcoming to people who are not in their social economic scale. Great school my child really fits in. The school offers so much to our family.

Mrs. Palmer makes this school! She will attend any function that the parents put together, or an event that involves any student or that could benefit any student. What a true gift. Mr. Geithman has brought great ideas and energy to the school and the teachers are amazing. This school is more of a community and embraces diversity and encourages sensitivity to all. I am blessed to have my children attend this school.

Phenomenal school. Top notch teachers. Can not find a better school. I have two kids attending now and a third soon, much better than the private schools in area. The reason the test scores are lower than other schools in disctrist are because of their strong program to handle special needs children.

McGaugh is a fantastic school. With large parent participation. Large fundraising campaign from PTA and Project Seek pay for so many programs at the school (art, music, events, media lab and so much more)
