Palm Vista Elementary School

Mr. Crites was wonderful and test scores were declining. Dr. Cindy McVay is outstanding and truly believes in each student and a is helping Palm Vista to become all we can (total staff). Change is good and we are becoming a community school and welcome her back for the second year. Palm Vista is in a better place with Dr. McVay as our principal. Teachers are not showing anger they are feeling growth and improvement. Palm Vista is a warm learning environment and I am a proud grandparent that my grandkids go here.

Palm Vista is HORRIBLE. After Mr.Crites retired and 'Doctor' McVay has became the new principal students have been acting up more and more. Shes a total FREAK. One time she gave a student her 'World Of Warcraft' account name that way he could add her on the website. I mean,am i the only one who thinks thats NOT GOOD. Even some of the teachers show anger towards her.

Palm Vista is a school full of dedicated teachers who truly care about their students. My son has excelled in math and greatly improved his reading and language arts skills because of the extra time and effort that the staff puts into helping students succeed. Palm Vista is one out of 4 schools in the district to have the Save the Children after school program, which is run by the school staff to support students who need extra assistance with reading and homework. Many students in the program have gone from below basic readers to proficient and even advanced readers. The school also has many great events to create a real sense of community that really allows parents to get involved with the school. Palm Vista is the best school in the district.

Palm vista is generally a very good learning environment. My daughter is challenged by her teachers and I appreciate the teachers taking the time develop her potential.

My son has attended Palm Vista Elementary since third grade. He was subjected to humiliation and redicule and developed breathing problems due to the stress. Despite our efforts to bring this to the attention of the administration, the bullying and taunting has continued unabated to date. My son is currently in the 6th grade. I will not recommend this school under this administration to any parent. Our children deserve better.
