Monte Vista Elementary School

Monte Vista is just barely acceptable. I suppose it gets hits high scores from the test scores from the large percentage of highly motivated and privately tutored Korean students who attend here, but the school itself has not motivated our children. If your child is average the teachers check out. One of the third grade teachers told our daughter every week she was destined for failure. There is no arts and no music program.

We made a difficult decision to pull our kids out of Monte Vista. We didn't want to because we certainly pay tax dollars to support the school; but our children were not challenged. They were bogged down with slow learners and kids with behavior problems. The GATE program was of no use to us--not challenging enough. We sacrifice so our children can attend private school and they are both doing much better. We gave them two years for one child and three years for the other. I wish we hadn't waited so long to make the move, but we were trying to give the school a chance.

Monte Vista offers a well rounded education in a safe environment. The teachers strive for excellence and are committed to professional development to pass along to their students. The academics are challenging and include GATE and other after school programs. The leadership is involved and fair-minded. I have worked at a private school and I do not believe those students received a better education than what my children have received here at Monte Vista.

Monte Vista has a beautiful campus, caring parents that help in most all classrooms each day and a caring, sensitive and devoted staff and teachers that help each child to fulfill their educational dreams.
