Carlisle Elementary School

We love Carlisle! Our son started Kindergarten here in 2009 and has really liked his teachers. However, I do see budget cuts having an effect - staff reductions, class size increases, among other things, which really is a shame. But it is a great, welcoming community with a strong PTA.

My Daughter started Carlisle in 2nd grade and now in 5th grade; she has grown to be a leader because of Carlisle. She has loved it from day one. The Teachers, Principle and Kid's attending at Carlisle are the best of the best!!!! We will miss it next year.

My son started at Carlisle in 2nd grade. He was having some behavior problems and I felt very discouraged before we moved. Once he started Carlisle things started getting better. I dont see him stress out about going to school in the mornings. He also has had a few health problems but just wants to be treated like all the other kids. That has not even been an issue here. I have loved all of his teachers so far and they are willing and ready if you need any help or just want to check in. The principal here is so involved and ready to meet with you also for anything. He is the best and I wish I could take him with us to middle school! The front desk staff is wonderful and friendly, everybody is great. Thanks for everything! Keep it up!

At Carlisle they learn good morals, I do not worry about what the kids are wearing. My daughter's scores are above average and she loves the school & her teachers. She will miss it next year when she has to go to middle school. Thanks Carlisle for everything.

I have sent all 3 of my children through Carlisle School. Now they are in College and High School. The foundation of learning, care, attention, principles is superb. There are a lot of teachers that have been there since it opened, that says something for the environment. I now mentor children at Carlisle so we can help improve their lifestyle. Thank you.

our experience with this school is great.Last year we moved from CA and were really worried about quality of education our kids will get here,as the school they left in CA was a top-rated school.As the yr has passed we are completely satisfied that we chose the right school for our kids.

The quality of the academic programs is excellent. I couldn't have been more pleased with my daughter's kindergarten experience. They had two field trips, and many hands-on activities in centers. My son was in second grade. I was also happy with the quality of the activities he participated in, especially in the reading curriculum. Creative projects. The parental involvement is very high. The PTA was quite active and was able to purchase many nice extras for the students, including a very nice planner/agenda, as well as sponsoring Book Fair, Fall and Spring Festivals. Music, art, sports, and Spanish are available. The principal, Saul Laredo, is second to none - very caring and dedicated. Friendly and warm personality. Very responsive to parents.
