School #6 has been a wonderful experience for my son and our family. My son has grown so much this year, academically and socially. The staff is excellent; they are caring, nurturing but structured. Their teaching philosophy supports each child's learning style and ability. They plan many educational and fun events for the children. I advise all parents of pre-schoolers and Kindergarteners to join the PTA and get involved! We are looking forward to another year there with our daughter!

Oceanside school 6 kindergarten was wonderful. They have valet drop off service and 2 indoor playgrounds. The staff are caring and supportive. My child really learned alot in kindergarten and will go to first grade ahead of children in other districts which do not have full day kindergarten. I thank her teacher for such a wonderful year.

My daughter has special needs and this school has gone above and beyond expectations for her and all of their students. The staff, the school, The Nature Center - no parent could ask for more. BETTER than local private schools. A++++

I am a former leave teacher. From an insiders point of view I can confirm that the teachers at this school are excellent educators. The school creates an environment that is centered around the children's academic as well and emotional well being.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
