Griegos Elementary School

Griegos has been such a wonderful experience for our family. This is a top-ranked school, last year it was the best school in the state, serving generations of families in a lovely community. The teachers are all outstanding in every way. They give their all each day to make sure kids actively learn in a safe environment. May the school continue to set the high bar for rigor. Griegos proves that every child has the potential to soar. We will miss Griegos very much, but take with us the spirit of 'doing the right thing at the right time' always. Thank you teachers and staff, you are the best!!!

This school is a great school. The new principal is ethical and follows the rules. She is visible and goes out of her way to meet with parents. It is evident that she puts children first and creates an environment with the belief that every child can learn.

I have been very dissatisfied by the lack of leadership and communication shown by the new principal in this school. I am just grateful that my children only have a very short time left there. I am saddened for the community because I believe this school is now on it's way down.

An outstanding faculty & administration along with parent support create a top notch education environment for excited and willing students

Griegos has been a great experience. I have 2 kids there and they both have had great experiences EVERY year. This school is full of dedicated teachers and staff. Most importantly, Griegos expects everyone (teachers, students and parents) to AIM HIGH! The expectations are high and it shows in the results. We considered private school and are very happy we chose Griegos.

Creative approaches to teaching and training which are seemingingly impossible since so many of its children live in poverty. They often do not have materials and electronics in the home that average families provide their children. They deserve more!

This school has thrilled despite its demographics -- primarily minority with 65% of its students at or below the poverty line -- because its staff, families and community work together to provide an environment that encourages and supports student growth and achievement! I am proud to have my child at Griegos and to be a part of the Griegos community. ElizMartinez

Because it offers students a creative and well-balanced education within a public school setting and its very important to demonstrate the value of public schools in this environment.

Griegos Elementary is the whole package. A great principal, qualified and caring staff and involved parents. There are under 20 students in most classes and the teachers really get to know each student very quickly. Within the 1st week of school my daughter's teacher knew her strengths and weaknesses and immediately put a plan in place to address them. To be honest, I'm not sure one could find a better private school. Keep up the outstanding work, Griegos!

Griegos Elementary School is a small, academically challenging, and customer friendly school. It offers a staff of dedicated professionals, small classrooms, opportunities for parent involvement, and a clean, student friendly campus. The principal has an open door policy and is always available to speak with parents and students. Griegos Elementary School has a long list of students wanting to attend from outside of their attendance area as the school's great reputation is substantiated by it's data. My two grandchildren attend Griegos and love it. I know my grandchildren will not be left behind academically and will have a strong academic foundation to succeed in middle school, high school, and college. Thank you Griegos!

You can spend thousands, if you want, on private school and your child will not get a better education than the one offered at Griegos. The community involvement, the level of communication and the high expectations for academic achievement and behavior make for a truly outstanding school. Griegos rocks!

This school is awesome! I went to this school as well and it truly was the foundation of my education. I live out of district for this school but I drive the distance for my boys. The drive is worth it. I wouldn't do it any other way.
