My son is a 3rd grader. I'm transfering him from VHES because of unresolved ongoing bullying. All year long, the teacher said, "I will talk to the boys." We are now going to a new school and thank God. I've learned the policies & procedures followed by VHES are to protect the teachers and school from liability first, and protect students last. Teachers are backed by principals and unions. Who is there to back children and parents? If your child is bullied, or if you have any problem for that matter, and you feel the school is passing the blame to you or your child, stay professional and sane, even if it becomes clear the teacher and principal you are dealing with possess neither of these two qualities.

We love this school! My son is currently attending 1st here, and my niece is in second. The teachers are phenomenal, and always ready to listen and accommodate. The principal is...just amazing. She makes it a point to interact with and engage the students, and to ensure that the students know that they are valued. The teachers and principal try so hard to make sure that the atmosphere remains highly positive and encouraging. I am so impressed with this school-it's just amazing. There are some amazing and incredible parents involved in this school! The PTA tries so hard, and is so welcoming! It's an incredible atmosphere, and completely earns the title "Pleasantville."

My son attended Kindergarten and will be entering 1st. We are extremely happy with his school experience so far. Academic preparedness, I would rate this school with five stars.

I was surprised to discover there wasn't a cafeteria or auditorium. That there is one small Multipurpose room to serve as everything is sad. Their version of a hot lunch is fast-food that is microwaved in its plastic bag. The teachers seem great. API scores are very high here. This past year, due to the California budget cuts, we lost the computer lab instructor and the PE teacher and there is no real music program. -- There are some dynamic schools in other cities and it makes you realize what we are missing out on.

I am a parent of 3 children at VHES and have always been very happy with this school. Beginning as I walk into the office/media center I am always greeted with a smile and a pleasant hello. The principal and staff are incredible and work hard to make this the best school it can be. My children look forward to the Friday Flag Salutes, the Lasting Impression Wall and all the kindness inspiring activities at VHES. It's a great place to be a student!

My 11 year experience at Vintage Hills has been a most positive one. From the administration, office staff and wonderful teachers, my daughters excelled and had a solid core foundation that was the direct result of their time at Vintage Hills. The girls talk about the fun times during PE, music, art and the fabulous computer lab! They still keep in contact with their 'reading buddies' and miss the recess time as well as the pepperoni pizza. We have been blessed to have our girls at such a positive wonderful school for those important elementary years. Thank you Vintage Hills for putting children first.

A bit dissapointed...the teachers are mostly good, and plenty of SAHM's keep things running, but a lot of projects end up basically done by the parents! I'm in the classroom, so I see it. NO gym, no real auditorium, and no cafeteria means they must cater in box lunches that are inferior, and eat in the hallway when it rains(!) I expect a better facility in this affluent district.
