This school is a hidden gem. I have had children at this school for about five years now. The teachers and staff are knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated to the success of all the students. Class sizes are relatively small, and the campus has a family-like feel. Don't be scared off by the exterior, this school is a wonderful place of learning and growth. They also offer fabulous after school programs that are free such as athletics, robotics, Lego engineering, yoga and crafts, sensory, gardening, theatre and many others. With an active PTO, there are many fun events for the families throughout the year such as a Beach Bash, a Fall Festival, movie nights, dances and more! My children have been in the 90/10 Spanish Dual Immersion program at the school and their academic growth is truly impressive. Students love the VAPA program at Valle Lindo, which includes music, art and theatre biweekly. Though the buildings are older, the campus is well-kept and orderly. The only major thing lacking is a remodel or rebuild of the school, which has been promised by the district for many years. Unlike many of the newer and bigger schools, drop off and pick up is pretty quick and simple. It's located right off the 805, so it's very convenient for us working parents. I have been very happy with this little school and have no hesitation recommending it.
