Monterey Hills Elementary School

There are some great teachers at MHS, and there are teachers that think they are great and are are just very average. Those teachers are lucky the parents take time to work with their children to establish a good base. Your child can get a great education at MHS, but you must be involved and don't be afraid to ask questions about your child.

Monterey Hills deserves a 10, not a 9. They're teachers genuinely love to teach and the neighborhood is very safe and upscale. My kids developed strong study habits here are a young age.

Our home school was supposed to be Marengo but due to overflow my daughter was place in MHS instead. A week after school started in kindergarten Marengo called me that they had 1 spot for my daughter, I turned it down, for so many reasons. She had a great K teacher who she loves until end of school. The MHS area is more residential compared to Marengo its more exposed to businesses area in SP. MHS has a very active PTA. Great Principal, very involved and active. My daughter is reading now and do some math as well. Now my daughter is starting 1st grade this Sept 1st and she is very excited to meet her new teacher. im very confident that her 1st grade teacher is as competent and intellectual as her K teacher. We dont want to anywhere else than MHS. Salute to the teachers and staff of MHS.

My son has attended Monterey Hills since Kinder and is in third grade now. From the very first day, the school has provided an environment that combines strong academic programs with enrichment activities. Hands on school principal and caring teachers. Great playard with lots of shade and green.

Our home school should have been Arroyo Vista but our son was sent to Monterey Hills due to overflow issues at Arroyo. My husband and I were excited to see the enthusiasm from the staff at Monterey Hills and felt comfortable knowing that our son was going to receive a good start for kindergarten. We just received our acceptance letter from Monterey Hills indicating that he can stay until the 5th grade. Monterey Hills is an incredible school with a wonderful staff of professionals! Wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

My daughter is half way through kindergarten and has learned to read and is doing simple adding and subtracting already. She gets interesting and fun assignments and is always excited to go to school. Parents are very involved as well - there is a parent volunteer at least 3 days a week in the class. The principal is great - very accessible and interested in making the school a good environment for all kids.

My son is in Kindergarten and we have had a wonderful experience. The teachers are terrific, the community involvement is superb. Although I can only review Kindergarten, academically my son is enjoying his experience, it is challenging, stimulating and fun.
