Abby Reinke Elementary School

When I moved to Temecula from Fallbrook I was scared to put my kinds in public school. I have 3 boys who where all in private school. Abby Reinke was very helpful with my kids transition from private to public school. My oldest son in now in middle school and is an honor roll student . I still have 2 kids currently in Abby Reinke,they love it here. I absolutely love the new principal Ms.Boyd, she has made so many wonderful changes to the school. She has put so many after school program, like golf and also a lot more P.E. Ms.Boyd is a fabulous new addition to a already wonderful staff. I also would like to tell you about Margaret Atkinson she is the office clerk. Margaret is so nice, she great with the kids and treats each student as if they were her own. Abby Reinke has great test scores and the class size are just right, We love Abby Reinke!!!!!!

Our child started Kinder at Abby. Going in he was a very reluctant student. He struggled at first and his teachers in both K and 1st grade have gone out of their way to talk with us and come up with strategies at home to help him succeed. They have been nothing but positive with him even as they had to help "curb" his energy in the classroom. I'm very impressed with the teachers and the principal at the school and the community atmosphere that is encouraged. It's not all about test scores here. It is really about providing a positive atmosphere to learn and succeed in learning.

My 4th grader started school here. She has become such a great reader & confident child. She has come a long way because of all that Abby Reinke has to offer. I believe in the teachers at Abby. They all care very much & want our children to excel!

I have two children at this fabulous school. Yes, there have been a few bumps in the road, but they have always been handled appropriately. The teachers have been FANTASTIC to my kids and each year just gets better! We love the learning atmosphere at Abby Reinke!

We are in our third year at Abby Reinke. As a whole we've had a pretty good experience. Some good teachers, some not so much! I'd say that the worst thing about this school right now is the Principal. I would agree with a previous reviewer. "The principal is as cold as ice and dose'nt seem to care about anything other than your childs test scores". The changes that she has made in the last 2 years are poorly planned, poorly explained and poorly implemented.

My son has attended Abby Reinke for 3 years now, and as far a teachers go, it's a crap shoot. The first year was horrible, 2 teachers - one nice and one mean, the principal actually told me not to bring him to school on the days the mean one was working, luckily, we made it through the year. The next year was great no problems, loved his teacher, and now back in the same boat. He is struggling and he hates his teacher. She has told 3 different moms that their kids must have ADD or a learning disability, and she won't except any responsibility for any wrong doing . I have had an SST meeting, and the teacher blamed it all on me, and attendance. The principal is as cold as ice and dose'nt seem to care about anything other than your childs test scores. She wants to keep her prestigious school status. I have voulenteered, and helped the school with many fundraisers and have gotten nothing but blame for my son not meeting standards. Don't waist your time with this school, they only care about their status, not your childs education, or well being.

We pulled our son out of this school the 4th week of 3rd grade. He is now doing great in a local charter and is being tested for gate. I was very disappointed in Abby.. We loved his 2nd grade teacher and kindergarten. 1st and 3rd were a complete disappointment. I felt I needed to post this information to help others.

The principal transfered from Paloma to Abby during the 2009-2010 school year. At Poloma the principal would have the kindergarten teachers test the incoming kindergarten kids and rank them low, medium, to high for placement into a class. She will be doing this at Abby for all of the incoming 2010 kindergarten kids. My daughter went through 3 different speech teachers at Abby within 3 months. I went to the principal and told her my daughter's needs are not being met. Right away she contacted the head speech teacher and my daughter was placed with a great speech teacher name Celeste Solomon. The principal at Abby now is on top of things. Now the kindergarten teachers will have balanced classes and not be stuck with all of the low performing kids in one class. It's a large school and I wish it offered full day kindergarten.
