My children attended Aliso Elementary from kindergarten through sixth grade, and I feel they had fabulous, dedicated teachers throughout their school careers. They were challenged, rewarded, made close friends, and felt very safe and happy there. As a member of the PTA I worked closely with the office

This school is adequate at best. If you are looking for a school to provide an enriching environment for your child to learn, look else where. Unfortunately, this has the potential to be said about any public school in the state of California. The teachers are all tenured and while some are terrific,

Wow it's true you don't know what you have until it's gone! My child attended Aliso from the fourth grade thru the sixth grade and has gone on to the Junior High level. Aliso was a multicultural and great experience for my child. Teachers really try to connect with their students and the fact that its
... Read more a smaller school helps foster a tight knit atmosphere. The PTA works hard at suplementing the Drama and the Art programs and parent participation is encouraged and very welcomed, even in the smallest of ways.

Many parents have been wrongly told that their child needs no support, only to meet disaster later because nothing was done and no support given.

If your child attends Aliso, be sure to remain pro-active and deeply involved in all aspects of their education. Aliso is a decent school, but there are definitely better schools in the Saddleback District, so be sure to ascertain all of your options prior to placing your student at Aliso. The administration

Above all, stay active in your student's school life, and know what is happening at school and in the classroom. Do not take for granted that your student is getting the education that he or she deserves, because without parental involvement chances are that he or she is not. Read less
