GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
My child has been at this school already for 3 years and love Buena Visa Elementary. She is receiving quality instruction and attention from the teachers, and the class environment is stimulating and friendly. My daughter has excelled in her academics, but also in her social and emotional skills at this school. There is nurturing and supportive environment, where kids feel safe and stimulated to learn and explore. The facilities are nice and even getting better, as the district is doing some renovations to campus, which we appreciate. The English/reading/writing curriculum is very strong. There could be a bit more advanced approach to math and the sciences, but I till think the teachers are doing an amazing job. There is a good balance of teaching/learning and testing. The students receive a fair amount of homework. I love that there is a free lunch and snack provided to everyone every day, but I'd love to see more healthy options on the menu. It would be also nice if there were more afterschool clubs available, especially ones that are not sports - e.g. Math fun club, chess, foreign languages, etc...

"Lots of people walk their dogs in neighborhoods. A handful of nice dog parks. Handful of open spaces with specific areas you can let your dog off leash. Unfortunately not everyone respects this rule so I’ve seen awful situations where some dogs are on leash and some are not. The dogs on leash are threatened because they’re leashed and bad situations arise. Also, many people don’t clean up after their dogs. Disrespectful and entitled people exist. This area is not immune to that. "
