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
Posted by a parent on 5/3/2026Mendoza is an amazing school! I was a student here myself, and when I had kids of my own there was no question. The principal, Mrs. Simpson, has been an incredible leader for the last few years. She sets an example of accountability and caring for every teacher and student on campus. The campus is b

Posted by a parent on 11/1/2022I have 3 children that attend this school. One is being tested for a learning disability that the teachers caught early. I am so thankful for the focus that the staff gives and the prompt attention to any bullying present.
Posted by a parent on 3/12/2018Of course I am a parent with a bias however, in my experience, Mendoza is the worst school my child has ever gone to. There is still a bullying problem except it doesn't stem from the kids: it stems from the environment created from the top down which is mainly the 6th grade teachers who create an a

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review6mo ago - Salk Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is autistic and can have trouble regulating his emotions and outbursts. We moved him from a charter school (that couldn’t meet his needs) to Barbara Bush and his kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Wells. On my son’s first day Mrs. Wells put me at ease and told me “Don’t worry, We got this Mom!”. The principal, Mr. Olson, as well as the school psychologist Mrs. Lynch gave my son and I a tour of the school as well. They were very friendly and informative, and supportive. My son’s first week was a bit rocky. However, we are now at the end of week two and his behaviors are getting better everyday! Today he had an amazing day! And he is soooo proud to tell me at pick up! This school is supportive with my son’s needs. They take the time to understand him and work positively with him. They know how to engage him, motivate him and praise him. As the saying goes, “Kids do well if they can”. My son seems to be thriving here so far and this was the best choice my husband and I could have made.Parent Review1y ago - O'Connor Elementary School
