Getz School

Aguilar Elementary has been an absolute life changer for my daughters. Ever since they have started attending Aguilar their confidence has soared. They love coming to school. They have made tremendous academic growth. I couldn’t be more happier.

As much as I want to support my child's education provider, the facility, staff and program are lacking. The teachers have far to many kids, staff mopes around clinging to their coffee's in one hand, and keys in another; not engaging in the children around them. Admin staff is complacent and defensive instead of welcoming feedback. Currently looking for other education options.

As a Kindergarten parent, I am completely blown away by all of the opportunities presented to the children. They do their school work in the garden multiple days per week. They work in small groups according to their level of understanding. Whether your child is gifted or needs a lot of additional help, the attention is spent with helping your child succeed. A local farmer comes in and does activities with all of the grade levels (microgreen planting, baby chick hatching, etc.) PTA is great at organizing fun activities throughout the school year. I could not be happier with this school. I am looking forward to having all three of children attending and loving their elementary years.

If only no stars was an option. First of all education is hardly taken serious. Second very little effort is put into the safety of kids. I do parent pickup and there has been a handful of times where faculty is not paying attention and my child will walk straight up to my car and get in (they are supposed to be brought to the vehicle by staff). As of recent my son told me that on now multiple occasions he has been getting bullied (among others) by an individual. I was not made aware of the incidents that occurred to my son by STAFF but instead by him who is now feeling unsafe at school because of this kid and lack of care/seriousness from the faculty. I made it known that I’m now aware of these incidents so of course now it’s “being taken serious”. Unprofessional, unacceptable actions from staff. As parents we are supposed to be able to trust faculty to keep our children safe when we drop them off for school, not here. Parents make sure your children know they can talk to you about anything, we are their advocates. Also talk to your children about bullying, there is so many negative and life changing things that can occur when it comes to bullies and those who are bullied.

We have had a wonderful experience with the staff and my son loves going to school at Wood elementary. I would rate this schools as one of the best elementary schools in the state!!!

Found this school by chance and Wow am I impressed how the staff goes above and beyond for the students. This school offers the students well balanced academics and healthy person growth. Highly reccommend!
