The teaching staff at this school are atrocious. I recently witnessed a group of them accost other adults in a rude and assaulting manner. I was thoroughly surprised that the other adults didn't become physical with the behavior and disrespectful comments coming from these teachers. I would hate to see how they treat their students if this is how they treat other adults.

Vintage Elementary is the absolute best choice I could have made for my child. I have had my child here since Kindergarten (we are now in 3rd grade) and it's been nothing but awesome. While I didn't have an issue with the previous principal, our new principal is AWESOME. And you can tell the schools culture and energy has definitely improved. Every teacher we have had has been exceptional. When my child was feeling overwhelmed with work or a particular lesson, they stepped in and helped find solutions. They truly love their job and their students. Anytime I had a question or concern, I was heard and had all my questions answered. The school also holds many fun events like Nasa nights, STEAM nights, Harvest Festival, and even their open house is a great time. I truly feel this helps boost the morale for the student body and really encourages parent involvement. The PTA is great and they're always trying to do their best with what they got. If you sign up for emails, class chats, and follow on social media, you will ALWAYS be in the loop so there won't be any surprises. The class moms have been great every year as well. Truly feels like a community. The main office staff is great. They make the entire experience feel personal and are on top of their management so I feel safe and know the kids are safe. The staff tries their best to maintain a smooth drop off and pickup routine but honestly, the parents are going to do what they want. The staff can't control parents poor behavior. That's the honest truth. But the staff is always open to feedback and will provided solutions for those issues specifically around pick up and drop off. So overall, I always recommend to my friends and family to check out Vintage. I have colleagues who had their kids transfer in from other schools in the valley and they saw a complete 180 on their child's academic and personal development. Love it here and I'm so glad my kid is here.

attended only freshman year, the students were horrible towards me. my business was put on blast so many times in that school, the passing of my late best friend was spread around, my problems with substance abuse was spread around, and i was bullied heavily. I would not recommend even for education, the teachers don’t teach at the level the students need them to. the staff does nothing to help with the bullying and harassment but rather just let it continue and even hear on the gossip spread around. the students are so entitled and horrible, their parents did horrible jobs raising them. save your child’s mental health and find a different school.

The dual language program at Lassen is amazing! My son was reading both languages in kindergarten.

Por favor traten mejor a sus pacientes de enfermería, con la salud no se juega y hay personas que de verdad si pueden estar mal y por decir la verdad deciden hacer maltrato verbal. 4/10

As a parent, I’ve had three children attend VAAS. Two have already graduated and one is currently a senior. Each of their experiences has been different, but one thing has stayed consistent: their confidence has grown and they’ve learned how to advocate for themselves.I remember when my oldest started as a freshman. He was nervous and trying to figure out where he fit in. He’s part of the LGBTQ community, and as a mom you hope your child will be accepted for who they are. At VAAS, he was. The diversity here is real, and you can feel it every day. He joined the dance team, got involved in theater, and eventually became president of several clubs. Watching him grow into a confident leader showed me how much this school was helping him develop as a person, not just as a student.My other two children were excited to attend after seeing his experience, and I’ve watched the same kind of growth happen with them. They all have different personalities and interests, but they’ve each learned to speak up for themselves and take ownership of their future. As a parent, that means everything.What makes VAAS special is the smaller environment and the relationships with teachers and staff. Students are known by name, and the teachers genuinely care. I’ve had teachers reach out not just about concerns, but to share progress and ideas for growth. It shows they’re truly invested.Both of my children who graduated from VAAS have now graduated from college, one from UC Irvine and the other from the University of Hawaii, and my youngest has already been accepted into college. That tells me VAAS really prepared them for what came next.One of my favorite experiences as a parent has been Digital Portfolio Night, where students present their own work and reflect on their growth. Seeing that confidence firsthand is something special.VAAS is more than just a school. It’s a supportive community that prepares students for life after high school, and I would absolutely recommend it to other families.
