I have two kids at Matsuyama and we love the school! The principal, parents, and teachers are awesome. The principal holds monthly coffee chats where parents can come and talk to him openly about anything from test scores, extracurricular activities, safety issues or anything that is on their mind.
... Read more Teachers really care about their students, not only the test scores, but the health and safety of them as well. My child has multiple food allergies and all of his teachers were receptive in helping me keep him safe. One teacher even contacted me before each event to ensure my child had something to eat so he wouldn't feel excluded. Read less

Hello, My name is Christopher Chin and I was promoted from Matsuyama Elementary School about 3 years ago. I think that the school was excellent and the teachers really loved what they were doing. I am now attending John F. Kennedy High School in the PACE program and am looking forward to graduating.
... Read more The reason that I got where I am today is because of my teachers that I had at Matsuyama Elementary School. I would recommend this school to all parents that have a child that is going to go into Kind. or if they are transferring from another school to get their kids to go to Matsuyama because the environment is very friendly and you can really fit in there. Also because there are many activities that are offered there. There is band, Orchestra, Gate, etc. And now that Matsuyama is under new management (Mr. Huscher) the school is better. Read less

I have a son in second grade and an in-coming kindergartner. Our family chose Matsuyama as our number 1 school during open enrollment. There are some exceptional teachers who go beyond expectations with their time and their attention. Extracurricular activities include the standards (choir, band,

Having come from out-of-town, I read a lot about this school's reputation for academic achievement. My child has attended one year, and I can attess the school has an emphasis on 'the three R's'. However, I feel that the curriculum is lacking in science, social studies, and arts. Staff members have

My oldest daughter graduated from Matsuyama this past June '04. She started from kindergarten to completion. I also have a 1st and 4th grader coming through, both boys. I have been more than pleased with the educational opportunities offered. Our teachers overall, are highly-qualified and have many

The PTA is active and enthusiastic about their goals and focused on fund raisers that help in increasing the enrichment of our students, not only during school hours (Computer Technology), but also through fine after school activities including Art, Music, Science/Math, Writing, Foreign Language and most interesting is learning about the Japanese Culture from our sister school, Sakura Elementary, in Matsuyama, Japan. There is a high focus on the academics (Look at our achievement scores!), however, the principal, teachers & parents also work closely for the well rounded education and safety of our children.
