Yes this school rightly deserves a 10/10! My son went here for 4 years, he's had wonderful teachers especially Mrs. Bollish (K) and Mrs. Marks (2nd-3rd). They have a special type of class where the student stays with one teacher for two grades. This does help because by the start of the 2nd year, the

They had great activities like Diversity Day, Thanksgiving Potluck, and Winter Carnival. Academics was great but so was the atmosphere! Great PTA. The kids at this school were all really polite and kinda sheltered, meaning they didn't act tough or old for their age, they didn't know about swear words or promiscuity or things like that, they were just happy little kids. I know that comes from having strong and loving families. Read less

This school is an excellent school! The quality of academic programs is very good. The PTA does a great job providing art, sports and extracurricular activities.

My daughter loves her school. As with many public schools, there is always a need for more funding but the parents in the community really rally to give their support and time. I happy to see that the school encourages physical activity along with academics and creativity through the arts.

I feel very lucky to be able to send my two children to a public school of this caliber. New programs, new ideas, new methods are initiated by the teachers and supported by the principal every year. The teachers really dig deeply to identify the personal needs of each student. Their communication
... Read more to us, 5 teachers in all, has been honest, caring, and has focused on the specific needs of each of my children. I/we have been amazed. It does take a village to raise our kids and I've been inspired by many very active volunteer parents to become even more involved (to the degree I can as a working mom). ESS, however, needs much more space to accomodate this growing school population. I like the launch of 'Father's lunches!' this last year! Read less

The principal, Cindy DeClercq, is the best. She is smart,energetic,caring, and respectful of students, teachers, and parents alike. Because the Poway Unified School District does not provide funding for music, art, sports, etc. (except for 5th grade band) Adobe Bluffs is doing its best to raise money

Parent involvement could be better. I am not sure, but I think we have a lot of dual income families. The core group of volunteers works very hard, but there is room for a lot more. I think teachers may be frustrated that there isn't more involvment, but have not really surveyed them. Teachers are very dedicated and professional. Read less

This school is too big for the facility, too many kids. But the principal is great, the teachers are fabulous K-3 (my only experience so far). Parents are fairly active, though it is the same ones who do most of the work. PTA and Foundation help to pay for the state's down fall. Unfortunately, school
