Susan La Vorgna Elementary School

I whole heartedly agree. The office staff lacks professionalism and I get an attitue EVERYTIME I step in the office. Even fory sons birthday I was scolded for bringing pencils for his classmates. I love my sons teacher now but as far as communication goes, if your not into gossip don't expect to be acknowledged. They need to rehire office staff.

Administration and staff are unethical and lack professionalism. If you enter the front office you may be greeted by a rude secretary named michelle. She and others speak about parents and student private issues for all to hear. Ive hear from parents if want to know whats going on just walk in the office. There are bad unethical teachers in every grade. We could not allow this enviroment damage our child. Reconsider a transfer to another school or go to private school. Not worththe damage to your children

our oldest son loves it. we think it's great. but we were surprised at the level of difficulty in today's kindergarten. we are sending our younger son to a preschool in order to get him ready for kindergarten. it's called French Valley K-prep Preschool and the teacher id a former elementary school teacher who follows the tvusd standards to get kids ready for school. susan la vorgna is great but even kindergarten kids are expected to be able to read and write.

Do yourself a favor and send your kids to another school. This school is horrible, and is classified as a Title 1 school. My daughter attended this school before it fell apart. I will NOT send my son to this school and recommend you do some research on what Title 1 means.

Overall I am satisfied with the school and it's teaching staff. My son is in Kindergarten and has a great and committed teacher. I will agree with a previous review that the administrative staff are far from friendly or outgoing. Neither the principal, V.P or front office staff make the parents feel remotely warm or welcome. I am also more than disappointed with the way the principal has handled a bullying issue I have had with my son. She is far from communicative and it seems very hands-off when dealing with this very serious issue. We are looking to change schools in part because we want to retain our son and I have found a school that meets our families needs, but I'm not sure how happy I would be knowing he was still going to a school where the principal seemed less than concerned for his safety in the classroom.

My kids like going to this school and have liked their teachers, however, do not expect to be acknowledged by the front office staff as well as the vice principal and principal.

My son had a wonderful experience at this school. His teacher was careful to give every child and parent their equal time. The principal offers opportunities for EVERY child to shine. Children are rewarded not only for their achievements in academics, but are awarded for accomplishments in behavior, character, miles walked and pride awards. A very positive tone to the school. It was really refreshing to have teachers that want to be with the children.

The teachers and principal at this school is wonderful! This is our second year here and there is so much that the school has to offer. The PTA is great with promoting many of the activities that are happening - movie night, fundraising, etc. We moved from Escondido and the difference, education wise, is so much more rewarding!

This is the third elementary school we have been in in 5 years, and by far the best of the three. Awesome principal, caring wonderful teachers and more programs after school & for the family each year. GO Lions!
