Creekside Elementary School

Before this principal joined a couple years ago, school was amazing. Since the current principal came, school has been on a decline. The front staff is extremely rude. They pretend to be nice to your faces but are extremely mean. They are not helpful at all, would let kids go out alone, if kids go to office to call their parents more than once in a week when school is over, they yell at the kids. Kids don’t feel like they can ask for any help from front desk staff. The principal, even when told about all these issues, does nothing at all. They are nice to kids whose parents give high donations, even if they do anything wrong(bully or hurt others), those kids go free without even being asked to see the principal or apologize. And this has not only been my experience, but so many other parents have been feeling the same. There are only a handful of teachers who actually care about studies.

My son graduated from Coyote Creek elementary school. Also my other three kids are still in the Coyote Creek school. The school is very good the principal is very kind, friendly, and helpful. All the teachers are awesome. I am so thankful that my kids are going to this school.

We LOVE Venture. Our son joined Venture during the last half of 8th grade. He was struggling, coming home from school wiped out. He took two classes at Venture that year (English and Science), continuing at DVMS for the rest. The positive change in how he felt about his schoolwork, and himself was immediate. Venture let him move forward, even finishing science early for the year, earning As in both classes. The one on one instruction with Venture's incredibly caring and committed teachers is amazing. He regained confidence and spirit. Grades also shot up at DVMS. Venture is now full time (9th grade) with a concurrent Algebra class at our nearby HS; challenging but rewarding, and all As thus far. He is figuring out what works for him to truly enjoy the educational process. He is looking fwd to concurrent college courses in English. Independent study takes self-discipline and a lot of parental support and guidance. Some kids get their battery charged in the larger, busier schools. For others, like our son, the larger the classroom, the more his battery drains. Venture charges and challenges him. We are so proud and happy to be part of the Venture community.

I have two sons (3rd grade and 5th grade). Both love going to school. Have great teachers who developed good relationship with students and worked with them based on their specific requirements. They have great friends at school. Both stay excited about learning and stay motivated. They get homework regularly and weekly tests. Both play sports during recess with their friends. Teachers are in touch with us over emails and also parent/ teacher meetings. School takes active interest in students development. We are very happy with Hidden Hills.

My two daughters, who are now in 6th and 9th grade, attended Quail Run Elementary for their entire elementary school years. We are very thankful for the strong foundation they received here.One of the biggest highlights of the school is the Chinese language program, which is well-known in the neighboring community and has attracted many Chinese families to move into the area. The program is thoughtfully designed and well-supported, and the teachers in this program are especially responsible, caring, and dedicated to their students’ growth.Overall, the teachers and staff at Quail Run are professional and attentive. We always felt that our children were in a safe, welcoming, and academically supportive environment. The school fosters a positive culture where students are encouraged to thrive not just academically but also socially.We had a very positive experience at Quail Run, and I would highly recommend it to families looking for a strong academic program, a great Chinese immersion option, and a nurturing environment for their children.

My child is going to Live Oaks elementary school and I must say that the teachers and staff are amazing. The kids graduate with strong academic foundation and overall great social and emotional development for the next chapter of their lives. There are a lot of extra curricular activities and events and leadership opportunities for kids as well for their overall development. Teachers are very kind and most will provide individual attention to the kids as per the learning needs of the kids.
