One word - Exceptional. My son started attending kindergarten this year and thus far my wife and I have been very impressed by the teachers and the exceptional parent involvement and support for the school.

Excellent school with exception parent involvement ( can be overbearing). A little homogenous but all in all a great experience. Art, music, PE, library and computers have all undergone dramatic improvements in the last couple of years. 5 stars.

Bird Rock used to be considered the premiere elementary school in San Diego but in recent years the programs and leadership have diminished. Also, they have no music classes and limited PE and Art classes.

This is an excellent school with a very high degree of parent involvement. Fundraising can get a bit tiresome but the result funds a library, PE teacher, art teacher and computer teacher, among other 'extras'. Teachers are highly motivated and involved. There are great field trips and each year the 5th ...  Read more

My child has gone to Birdrock since she was 5 1/2 years old. Birdrock is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child.

To all in our community, Bird Rock is, without exception a school with the most dynamic parental involvement of any school in the San Diego school system. All of the staff are wonderful...great care ...  Read more
