La Costa Meadows Elementary School

Posted November 11, 2009

This is our first year at this school. The principal is very responsive, the school is above average. My son is certainly not challenged though he is learning. Arts and science lacking. I am finding that the school itself, maybe due to location is lacking that community ambiance. I am used to letting my kids play at the playground after school and more people walking or biking to & from school. At the end of the day everyone leaves the campus so quickly. The line of cars to pick up kids is pretty ridiculous and I don't know why parents cannot just park and walk over to pick up their kids rather than idle and pollute for a good 15 minutes to get to the pick up zone. The strong Middle & High Schools keep us in the district. Maybe we will have a better experience next year given budget cuts.

You try to teach that many children and get results. I bet your teacher did a great job keeping everyone on track and your child learned a lot. A parent's job is to review skills too. Check where your kid came into school and when they left.

My daughter is in Ms Shuda's K class. Her reading and writing skills have increased by leaps and bounds. They do lots of practice and they have good homework for more practice. To read and write a language its simply about practice. Fortunately, Ms Shuda has lots of creative ways to keep the children engaged.

My son's kindergarten class was lacking in creativity. They are given mostly worksheet after worksheet. It seemed like busy work to fill time. With such large kindergarten classes (32 students) the teacher always appeared rushed and distracted. Expect to spend your evenings teaching them the basics.
