Paseo Hills has been known for its issues for many years. Poor communication from staff and principals regarding big things like threats, but you'll get weekly emails with a word of the week. Principal Hood will call you and sweep things under the rug if you have a concern. My friends child was found with an older student (she was in kindergarten) in the bathroom stall and the staff acted like it was no big deal. Another friends son's teacher is simply passing him along rather than actually helping him. He doesn't understand the material and is on an IEP but the minimal support is evident when a third grader can hardly read. Our experience has also been less than ideal with everyone except the amazing office team, and we are happy that they now have a police officer on staff. Even the nurse does not communicate, if your child comes home with a large bandaid and blood dripping down their skin with a huge bruise you'll have no idea they even went to the nurse unless your student tells you. We have been a part of DVUSD for several years ranging from kinder to HS and the district as a whole continues to go downhill. They want their students off of IEP's, they do testing without consent, their curriculum is awful, they spend countless amounts of money on things like technology when their money can be used other places, and their focus is not safety or the well being of students like they say. A matter of fact, you don't even need to have a background check to volunteer on field trips or go to school dances. You also cannot open enroll with an IEP, therefore we are stuck with Paseo for a few more years until my children go to HS, as it's our home school. If you're looking for a home, I do not recommend moving to an area where your student will go to Paseo Hills. From the principal, to the teachers, and the learning in between, Paseo Hills continues to be a disappointment.
