I moved my two kids to this school because the ratings were great. After a not so good experience at another school my oldest child fell behind. We came in thinking it would take months for her to get where she needed to be. But, after entering De Zavala she was able to “catch up” in only a few weeks! Her reading improved incredibly! Her math knowledge grew and her overall confidence was boosted! My youngest who is in pre-k knows his numbers to 30, he knows his ABC’s and most of the letter sounds. It is October he’s learned this so quickly! I am truly amazed at their progress here. A few things I dislike is there is no after school programs. There used to be a YMCA but it is no longer offered. My work schedule varies and unfortunately getting to them by 2:50-3pm is a struggle for us. The school is also very small, when they did their holiday program we were all crammed in the cafeteria it was really uncomfortable. They’ve also attempted to do other events in the basketball courts, and it’s usually hot still crowded and short staffed. Wish they had more parking! Overall the great educational knowledge my kids have gained overshadows the negatives.
