Bush Elementary School

I withdrew my child from this school because of ongoing bullying by students and the staff's failure to intervene. I tried discussing my concerns face-to-face, but my child continued to come home upset and reluctant to attend. I do not recommend this school; consider exploring charter or online schools instead.

O’Connor Elementary is amazing! I’ve had five of my six kids in O’Connor and all are or have excelled there. Every teacher my kids have had os thoughtful, caring and concerned for their well-being. We’ve been through three or four principals over the last 18 years and while all of them have been wonderful, the current principal, Dr. Tinich, is BEYOND amazing. She is off the charts intelligent, cares for all students and as I’ve gotten to know her, it’s apparent that she wants the best for her students, staff and the community.

Mendoza has been such a blessing for our family. As a parent, you always worry about those first few years of school, but the environment here is so warm and supportive. The teachers are incredible—they’ve managed to make learning fun while really challenging the kids to grow. I’ve already seen such a big change in my son’s vocabulary and his excitement for solving problems.I love that the "Mendoza Pup" spirit is more than just a slogan; the staff truly cares about raising kind, respectful kids. It’s a great community where my son feels safe to be himself and excited to go to school every morning. We are so grateful to be part of the Mendoza family!
