Ponderosa Elementary School

I'm very happy with Ponderosa. I have two daughters my oldest one has been going there for 4 years and youngest one for 2 years. So far I have liked all of there teachers. I like Mrs. Jackson I think she does a GREAT JOB.

My child has been attending Ponderosa since K and we are very happy with the teachers and Principal of this school. Staff and Principal truly care about the well-being of every child. The principal knows every student (all 500 of them!) by sight and is very involved in activities that promote academic enrichment and achievement among the students. Like in any other school, some teachers are more stellar in their instructional technique than others, but overall, there is a genuine interest in ensuring that each child succeeds, academically and socially. Strong PTA presence and involvement among the parents. Would highly recommend this school to others.

My child has been attending Ponderosa school since last three years and we are very pleased with his progress. Overall, he is very happy in the school especially when we moved him from Challenger school. Teachers pay attention on a 1:1 basis and get parents involved when needed. Staff and principal is very supportive to innovative ideas (in the time of budget crisis) and implement those ideas. We are fortunate to be in the neighborhood of Ponderosa school. I will highly recommend this school.

I think it's a great school. The language curriculum is fantastic! Teachers are very educated and caring. It's very easy to meet and talk with them. All the parents know each other and the kids. Our new principal is very strong and the PTA is excellent. We have lots of events and activities going on. I'm happy that my son attends Ponderosa.

I have had 4 children enrolled at Ponderosa and know most of the teachers there. We have had our children in 3 different elementary schools over the years. The teachers at Ponderosa are exceptional. One of our children was struggling academically when we moved to the area. The teachers at Ponderosa have made a tremendous difference in his performance and adademic confidence. I can't praise them enough.

Poor math curriculum compared to the same grade in other schools, which are already teaching multiplication and division in the second grade.
