I think Aviara Oaks is the best a school can get. They have amazing teachers, great music and p.e. programs, a great princapal, and forget a promising staff. I think it's a school where every child can find the intellagence they need. Unlike other people I don't think Aviara Oaks is overcrowded and if

RE: Parent involvement = excellent. Why are tasks done by parents, not positions funded by school district? IE: admin assistance for office freeing parents to help in classrooms. RE: Special Ed Program lacking. Teacher is nurturing, innovative, but time spread thinly. With 14 years experience, it

SpecEd needs enrichment material, more muscle strengthening equipment IE: swings for physically challenged. Computers added 9/07, with unfamiliar machines and unusual programs. More teachers needed. New paid teacher 9/07 with no assistant. Many kids in program. RE: Ms.Husing, much improvement, enthusiasm and involvement over last year.

This school is awful! It is overcrowded and under funded. The kids get only get the basics and nothing more. Extracurricular activities cost money and are run by third party providers and are pathetic. I am so glad my daughter only had to attend for four months. I was so glad to get her out of the

Once was a great school but it's now overcrowded and has lost it's small town closeness. Does have some really good teachers. Administration is tough and can be more inline with what one would expect at a high school level. Don't expect much nurturing from principal and vice principal. Front office

Overall, the first year at this school for my son has been an excellent experience. They stress all the character traits that make one a solid citizen and already have Kindergartners reading. The teacher we have seems to really pay attention to the children and try to improve them. Highly recommend this

I have two children at Aviara Oaks: one in 3rd and one in 4th grade. Like many siblings, they have completely different learning styles. One is an extremely high achiever and the other has attention problems. I've been impressed with the way Aviara Oak's teachers have differentiated their teaching styles

Carlsbad schools were the best! Too much overcrowding now, the school just can't give your child individual focus anymore. There is little tolerance for needs since there are so many students. The administrators seem unable to have personal relationships with students. It is not a small town atmosphere
... Read more anymore. There are good teachers here and they do the best they can given so many students. As far as extracurricular, you'll have to pay $$ for them. Seems to be a high level of parent involvement. Lots of diversity in this elementary school. It seems more like a high school atmosphere here. The influx of transplants from other areas have watered the original small town charm away. Orange county seems to have taken over. If you like the OC lifestyle then you'll be happy here. I miss the community spirit that was here. It's definately gone! Read less

* In 2008-2009 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
