This school has high parent involvement, great teachers, and a safe campus. My only criticism would be lack of early intervention for my child who did not get an IEP until 6th grade - although I mainly fault the district for this deficit. On the positive side, the teachers were fabulous and went the

We are super happy with AES. I had my child at another school in this district where there was a lot of bullying going on and it seemed like the administration was not doing anything about it. I moved my child over to Alpine Elementary and right away my child excelled. They have terrific teachers, and

The staff truly cares about the well being of our children. I've had children go through the private school system and now through AES and I'm comforted in knowing my child is getting a good education and they are safe while at school.

My children have enjoyed AES one of them is still currently enrolled and the other has moved on to JR. High. I have loved all the teachers except for one, and it's because she had her favorites and if your child was not a high achiever she didn't have the time for him or her. But other than that it has

I have a child with diagnosed ADD and possible high-functioning Autism and he had a horrible time at AES. Most of the other boys in the school picked on him on every day to which the staff was very uncaring, and most of his teachers just did not want to deal with him. He is extremely intelligent and

One of his teachers suggested we put him on medication and we did thinking it would improve his situation. We tried several types and they all ended up making him sick and depressed. We finally moved him to the wonderful Home Schooling Program where he gets appropriate, challenging work (not just the time-wasting busy work he was getting at AES) and he is excelling naturally and is happy and feels valued for the wonderful, caring person that he is.

Over all satisfied with Alpine Elementary. Would like to see music and sports encouraged. Have been very happy with teachers and parent involvement is great. My chief complaint is the traffic flow problem when dropping off students and picking them up. I worry that a child will be injured as the procedure

Read more is very dangerous with cars and buses waiting to get into the parking pickup area, and blocking traffic along Alpine Blvd. The buses need to load in a different location so the cars can have more room up top to pickup the students. You could get at least 3 cars at one time picking up their children instead of children running all over and into the streets. The buses could load at the lower parking area, and it would be safer for all. Please consider a change for our children's safety and ease for parents who pick up students. Read less

The school is not much to look at but the quality of the teachers and staff has been excellent. The Gate program used to be very weak, but has improved the last few years. As with most schools in CA it lacks music, weak in art and athletics.

This is an excellent school. All of my children have attended AES and have gone on to the middle school prepared.

This school has become our family's home away from home. We just entered our third child into AES...and even though we moved into another grade school's district...we chose to keep our kids here. Our children are all high achievers, and the teachers at AES have all been very helpful in keeping them challenged.
