Vandenberg AFB

We have been at Crestview for the past 2 years (K and 1st) and we love it. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The principal (2025) is wonderful and truly cares about the children at this school.

Teachers are passionate, administration really cares about the kids, and the school has a "rule of 4 program" that challenges the kids to be better people... it's not just about academics. Communication with families is outstanding! Also, the superintendent secured additional grant/funding to break ground on new buildings, and the school will work to challenge your kids if they are performing beyond the curriculum. There is a reason that there is often an enrollment wait list at Manzanita. We checked out 3 elementary schools in the area before deciding on Manzanita. We could not be happier with our decision to enroll our kids at Manzanita!
