i was sceptical at first, but overall the school has had a positive effect on my daughters self esteem and grades.

I was unsure about what we would get from Aptos Jr. as you hear negative stories around town, but when I stepped back I realized that those stories were from people whose children did not actually attend the school. We gave it a go and are so happy that we did. My daughter has had a truly amazing experience here. Her teachers are warm and welcoming, the principal is amazing and goes above and beyond for her students. She has made this school into a place students want to be. My daughter is being challenged academically, especially in mathematics. She participated in the wheel of electives this year and has tried many new subjects that she otherwise would not have. The after school activities especially athletics have been really engaging and again opened her up to new experiences. There is always something to learn and do, during and after school. I am concerned about the District cuts but it does seem that school already moves mountains with the little district support it currently gets.

This school is amazing and so thankful that my grandchildren get to experience such a great elementary school. The people who work in the office really care and the teachers are so kind and supportive of the students. The main reason that I’m writing this review is to acknowledge the most awesome lunch lady(Miss Lupe) that I’ve ever seen! She makes everyone feel so loved and welcomed every morning. Her kind greetings and beautiful smile make my day when I drop off my granddaughter. I want her to know just how appreciated she really is! Thank you for all you do and provide for our children Rio. Elementary!
