Also noteworthy is the tremendous

I'm very impressed with my child's 4th grade teacher (room 17). She knows the standards well, and treats each child with respect. Children in this room are challenged individually based on their needs. My daughter now has an amazing science and math vocabulary, and a love for both of these areas because

I've been impressed with the high-quality, solid teachers my child has had at Kumeyaay, and the science and music programs. The one criticism I have is that parents (usually mothers) are allowed to spend time volunteering inside the classroom while class is in session. Some of these parents end up

Fortunately, my child's teacher doesn't permit parents to influence how she runs the class or gain favor, and I respect her tremedously for that. Teachers, not parents, should control the classrooms.

I am the father of two well adjusted, GATE qualified boys. My First son had an excellent experience at Kumeyaay (promotion 2004), exiting with high marks and an enjoyment in all subject matters. He loved his teachers through the entire K - 5 experience. However, my second son (promotion 2007) has

While some teachers remain positive, many of the higher-level teachers have become rigid and cynical. They use negative tactics in discipline and classroom control, looking for subdued students rather than active questioning minds. In the three years between my sons I have seen an excitement for school turn to tears, fear, and a resentment of the institution of learning. Read less

This school is insane. The parents create an atmosphere of social and financial pressure on their children at a young age. The parents are actually over involved. The kids are concerned about their name brand jeans and what your daddy does for a living in the second grade. My daughter went here
