The principal Mrs. LoPresto and assistant principal Mrs. Mendez are a champion for the kids. Firm but fair and supportive of the students. The multiple years that my 2 students attended this school class sizes have been 27/1 and up to 34/1 in this last school year. The special education program is e
Posted by a parent on 6/8/2024Peoria Elementary has been a wonderful experience for both of my kids.

Posted by a parent on 3/30/2018I have taught at Peoria Elementary for the past 3 years. I absolutely love it! We have great administration as well as caring staff members. The front office staff is always friendly and helpful, too. Great school!
Posted by a teacher on 3/2/2016We have been with this school for 6 years now and we almost switched schools. New administration that genuinely cares about every child has taken over and has gotten rid of teachers that were just there for a paycheck There is a true sense of community at Peoria Elementary and the teachers welcome m

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll of my children went to this school from kindergarten to 8th grade. In the early grades teachers were caring and supportive and so was the administration. In the jr high grades the staff and administrators became uncaring, non supportive and treated my children and myself as a burden whenever something happened regarding discipline. The principal was rude to me and showed a lack of concern and compassion for my family, my children and their success in school.Communication was non existent unless I initiated it and sadly we couldn’t wait to leave at the end of 8th grade. If you want your child supported in every aspect of life and feel a sense of belonging and support, this school misses the mark in jr high.Parent Review11mo ago - Alta Loma School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had my son in Alta Loma many years ago and after moving away we are now back in the community, and although this is not our home base school I made it a priority to now have my daughter attending. I had the most amazing experience with my son that I wanted my daughter to experience it as well. All of the teachers and staff have been so incredibly supportive with helping give her the best experience. I would highly recommend this school to anyone moving into the area.Parent Review2w ago - Ira A Murphy Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school use to be great. I have 3 kids, 2 went from start to finish, my 3rd is almost done and it can not come soon enough. The teachers struggle with support. There is no training for teachers in special education. The ladies in the front reception are great, but otherwise it's gone so down hill. There is no consequences from admin if you bully other kids. So much infact they will bully you personally as a parent. Sadly there isnt much around this area for schooling options so best of luck if you buy a house in the area. Peoria unified as a whole is a disaster.Parent Review6mo ago - Oakwood Elementary School
