Lomitas Elementary School

I was wary about this school because of the area and neighborhoods surrounding it, however I am very please with how my Kindergartener has been educated. They teach the students well and encourage parent involvement. The only problems I've encountered are due to the other students in her class, and some of the parents are bad influences. You can't do anything about that, unfortunately. I'll keep her there for 1st grade.

Im a former student from lomitas. this is a great school.Teachers are not mean to students.They are only rude to parents sometimes because parents can be hardheads like these parents leaving comments now.Parents are very closed minded sometimes.Most parents pull there students out of school when something happens.they dont give the school a chance.this is a great school and i would send my kids here.=]

I was a former student at Lomitas and i loved it. Parents........the only reason why the teachers are rude because the kids misbehave. The teachers are trying to help the students not hurt them. So parents i know its your opinon but the teachers are helpers not the ones who are rude every minute. Go LEOPARDS

I also agree with the last comment posted in June 2010. I also want to comment that disciplinary action needs to be reinforced and can possibly use some retraining to adequately give appropriate consequence each child. Simply suspending a child and not guiding them to make better choices is not an affective way of instilling disciplinary action. Children are deprived of their education when situations as suspension are harshly imposed. In addition calling parents to pickup students because they just don't feel good is not acceptable. I have noticed that when there is about 1-2 hours left of school parents are called to pickup students for a child simply having a scratch and not wanting to be in school.

I find the staff to be rude and basically tell you whatever they need to to get paid and move forward with their day. My daugter was attacked by another student and it took 2 weeks before they moved on it due to their own personal issues. Also the teachers arent very friendly and do not work with the parents to create a positive learning environment. The cafeteria staff like to yell at the children while they eat and herd them like cattle. I have repeatedly watched teachers yell at the children and parents in some cases. I have found this school to not live up to all the hype they make it out to be.

I love Lomitas because it has been my 'school family' for the last 7 years. I love all of the caring staff who truly care about and love our kids. The teachers and staff are always very approachable and available to talk, and are positive and encouraging to our kids. Lomitas is great because it strives also to teach our kids about character, about being decent, good, and honest human beings of character, kids who will grow up some day to be hard working people who will make many positive contributions to society. Our awesome office staff are smiling faces that greet you when you first enter our school and take care of our kids when they need help up in the office. Thank you Lomitas for continuing to be a great place for my kids to learn and grow!

I love the P.T.A. !! I love the caring teachers who really teach each child and I love the principal and the S.A.M. who greet us each and every day..they are approachable and encourage parent involvement. I also love the playground which offers many choices for activities! The school has many enriching programs that other schools do not offer. Thank you Lomitas, my children have never been happier anywhere else!!

My children were new to this school mid-year, and although I was hesitant to send them here because of the score and coments, I must say that in general the school was better than ok. Although Ifeel that some teachers are just doing what they have to to get paid, some teachers are truly supportive and seem to really care, such as my daughter's 4th grade teachers, Mrs. Blubaugh and Mrs. Brendon, and my other daughter's 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Hearell. I think that communication with parents when incidents occurred was delayed, and should be more prompt, and there should be more opportunities for parents who work or have small children to assist. If not by going to the school then by doing things for the classrooms at home and sending with their children to the school.

This diamond of a school really cares about every child. Children have high expectations set for them in academics and behavior. This is a great school!
