Louis J. Villalovoz Elementary School

I moved my daughter from a private school to this school.Now she is in 2nd grade soon attending GATE programme at South West. Our experience had been very pleasent.The teachers are just so wonderful that we are confused weather to send her to GATE's. My daughter was given all the opportunities to execel. I would highly recommend this school better than any private school in Tracy, from our experience.

I am so happy with Villa. I just transferred my kids here from a year round school ...not a fan. My kids have excelled so much more in math and other activities.I love their teachers, so friendly and they really love what they are doing. The office staff is so friendly and really try their hardest to make everything run smooth. This is an awesome school and the parent volunteers really provide for these kids .This is the place to be, it may be an older school but the teaching and staff don't seem to care and neither do the kids they have a fun place for learning and enjoy their school as is.Talent show and other extra activities keep these kids occupied with a fun environment !

I love the central library feature of the school which allows children and teachers some freedom when it comes to library time. I have observed a great teacher there for a day, and I have observed a teacher that is seemingly burnt out. As for extracurricular activities, the field day was a great experience (except for the snack line) and the school's talent show was a great opportunity to give children the chance to shine. There have also been several other community nights (BINGO and a Carnival) that have had a great turn out. I do regret that there is no music program until fourth grade. Overall, I think the school is a great place for the students and for our community.

I am a student teacher, and have observed at this school. It seems like a very nice place with a good sense of community.

My son attended this school from K-5th grade. During our attendance here, the school went from a traditional calendar to a year-round calendar. I thought I would have a bigger problem with this than I actually did. My son thrived in this type of environment. I feel that the staff at Villalovoz are very devoted to a conducive learning environment for the children. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.
