I think the education offered by the teachers is awesome. They are supportive and understanding of all aspects of the student's lives. The principal is difficult to speak with and gets very short and condescending in tone. Once your child is called to his office for whatever reason, he/she is labeled

My child started Bouquet this year, it has been ok but there has been several mean kids at the school picking on her, and the principal is not the kind of person you can feel comfortable talking to. He is not very friendly and the few times I have came into contact with him he has been VERY short and

Overall I think the school is very good and the teachers seem to be well-engaged in teaching the students. The one major drawback is the lack of 'Edline'. This is an excellent online tool that allows parents to see up to the minute progress of their children. We have another child in a neighboring school

We have 2 children at Bouquet Canyon. Our experience has been near perfect, so far. The PTA and staff cannot be matched. Principle Martinsen seems to work diligently to make all conditions optimal for a safe, academic focused, learning environment. In my observations the teaching and administrative staff

To be honest, not being a California native, I was very weary about my children starting elementary school. I had heard horror stories about the public school system in the Southern California area. I did my research on sites like Great Schools beforehand, and came across Bouquet. I can t imagine sending my children to any other school now. I hope I can continue to say that year after year.

The academics are excellent at this school. The school has some lame rules though. Here are a few: Children get benched if they talk too loudly during recess. No running on the school yard. No use of objects for hopscotch. No tetherball for second graders since one got hurt playing the game. Too

We have been pleased with the instruction our children have received at this school. The PTA does a great job of keeping parents involved and providing great programs & activities for the students. The principal seems to lack the leadership skills and people skills necessary to run a school effectively.
... Read more Discipline problems consistently tend to be ignored. We are also dissatisfied with the lack of progress the school district has made towards the construction of the new school site. The plan is behind several years. The school site consists entirely of bungalows, many of which are over 15 years old. On any given day there are not enough working bathrooms to accommodate the 500 plus students. Read less

My children have attended several elementary schools throughout the years and I must say I have never been more impressed with the quality of teachers than I am here at Bouquet Canyon. It is surprising, though, that they are able to maintain such a fine teaching staff since I have also never been more
... Read more disappointed by a principal than I have been in Mr. Martinsen. He is an egotistical, stubborn, and I don't feel he puts the well being of the students at the top of his list of priorities but rather the opinion of the parents. I think he would be surprised to find that if he would care more about the children the attitude of the parents would naturally follow. Read less
