Their are many parents at this school who spend a lot of their time supporting the school's teachers by volunteering their time in the classrooms and helping with fund raising in the hopes of keeping valuable programs from being lost due to budget cuts. The students are wonderful as well! Unfortunately,
... Read more the leadership at this school is extremely lacking. Personal experience with some of the school staff has been very unprofessional. The school was very different under the previous leadership and I hope someone at the district will take notice and do something to assist in improving the situation. Read less

I am very happy with Schall. I have a very active kindergartener and I was quite a bit worried about him starting school, but the teacher (Mrs. Long) and the rest of the school staff have been great. I am happy to say my child is doing very well in school and really enjoys it.

My children have blossomed at Schallenberger Elem. We started at a private school (which we loved) but, thought it would be beneficial for our kids to go to their neighborhood school and be part of a neighborhood community. We feel that the education our kids have received at Schallenberger has been
... Read more excellent. I don't feel that teachers could be better at a private school. Our teachers have the knowledge and experience to meet the needs of each child in their class. I have one child that needs to be constantly challenged - this has never been a problem. There are many programs at Schall. that challenge children at all levels (Accelerated Reader, Accelerated Math, Math Facts). My childeren have thrived in the rotational science program and the art program. The level of parent participation is outstanding.

I'm really happy with Schallenberger. There is a lot of parent involvement, the principal is very hands-on and approachable, and all the teachers I have met, including my daughter's, are very friendly and capable. The Home-School Association is very active and raises a lot of money for the school.

My two sons currently attend this neighborhood school, which has significantly exceeded my expectations. This is particularly notable in light of concerns among some other neighborhood families regarding the impact of ongoing, limited busing. The teachers are very experienced and many live in the neighborhood.
... Read more The neighborhood parents in particular are generally very engaged, and the children are uniformly wonderful. The result of this combination is that test scores are on the rise. Of particular note, the test scores by demographic group are on par with the magnet schools (i.e. Hacienda). Moreover, my oldest son is autistic, and the entire school community has been overwhelmingly supportive of his inclusion in the general education program. Sadly, this is not a uniform response within the school district (we had a poor experience at the Hacienda magnet school), and this type of receptiveness doesn't show up in the school metrics.
