We particularly love the project based approach of Casita, that the staff and parents are exceptionally engaged, that the curriculum is well balanced between scientific and creative offerings and that despite all that it is an accessible and inclusive school. Our kid loves going to school here and made a lot of friends in the two years she is visiting Casita. The teachers have a great strategy of motivating the children by reinforcing positive behavior and encouraging initiative and independent thinking. The principal Ms. Chien is super approachable, empathetic and her and the staff earned the school a Blue Ribbon award. The only thing that I find irritating, is the necessity for constant fundraising. That being said, the school and PTA excel there to bring in the funds to make the outstanding program at Casita possible. The results speak for itself. Go cougars!

Although, the options of extra curricular activities is a bonus and will do many children well, I was disappointed with the treatment of my 2nd grader. He was told he had more expectations put on his behavior (wiggling in class) because of his strong academics. He was above in his class academically but was too wiggly. We did have a great experience with the principal when he was faced with being bullied. It was taken care of swiftly.

I have loved each interaction with administrators, teachers and students. I have been very impressed by the progress shown here over the past few years!

My child currently goes to that school right now. The school is amazing. The teachers are amazing and get an A+ across the board. The only one complaint I have, and I've heard this from many parents. The principal, Mrs Hollowell. She is the most fake administrator I have ever come across. She talks down to the para's that are in the classrooms helping. Shows no respect to them. The way she administers makes me think she got educated in the stone age period. She talks down to the kids, making them feel guilty of every little offense. They are kids, especially those that are in 2nd grade and below. Remember, they are learning, they will make mistakes on the way.
