Mandarin Oaks Elementary has truly redefined what it means to be a school community dedicated to the holistic success of every student. We transitioned to Mandarin Oaks in the final quarter of the academic year after years of false promises from a nearby charter school, and in hindsight, I only wish we had made this move much sooner.From the very first interaction, Principal Ms. Butterfield demonstrated an exceptional level of leadership and vision. She personally welcomed us to the school, provided an informative tour of the campus, and thoroughly outlined the robust support services available to ensure every student thrives. Her approach was marked by both warmth and strategic insight—qualities that set the tone for the entire school culture.Every member of the staff consistently exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism and dedication. Teachers and support staff alike go above and beyond to ensure that each child is seen, heard, and valued for who they are—not just what’s on paper. Their proactive communication, unwavering support, and genuine care for student growth have been a breath of fresh air.Mandarin Oaks truly exemplifies what an exceptional elementary school should be: a nurturing, engaging, and deeply student-centered environment. I highly recommend this school to any family seeking an environment that combines academic excellence with genuine care and support. I can say with complete confidence that Mandarin Oaks is a place where every child is championed, and I only wish we had made the transition sooner.

3rd week in at this school and I'm already dreading it. Another kid took something from my son at the beginning of class. He spent the entire class asking for his item back, trying to get the teachers attention, and asking the kid, but the teacher just kept telling him to put his hand down. He finally got so fed up that he took a notebook off the kids desk which the teacher immediately noticed and demanded he give back. He told her no, trying to explain that he's trying to get his item back from the kid. The teacher wouldn't listen so my son got frustrated and threw the item back at the kid. Now he's suspended - at home not learning a thing. The Dean doesn't listen or care. The teacher didn't listen or care. It's just a job and they want to get through their day. Do not recommend.

My oldest attends this school and has been having a great experience with meeting new people and being involved in activities
