Kwis Elementary School

Los Altos Elementary has a mix of good teachers and horrible teachers. There are many teachers that ar immature, gossip in front of the kids, and do not belong in an elementary school setting. Ive seen my child go through her years here and the education, experience, and potential is just not there anymore. This school has gone from a 7/10 to a 5/10 in 3 years. Many parent send their kids for the dual immersion program but in my opinion it's not worth receiving subpar education and having your children learn inappropriate behavior from teachers.

My kids have been at this school for years. Honestly, I wish I had chosen a different school. Pros:- The faculty has some really lovely teachers- If you're an evangelical Christian, they pretty much run it like a church school.- The PTA puts on a lot of events and makes a lot of balloon arches.- The school office manager is kind and helpful.- The children are generally respectful of each other and bullying is limited.Cons:- If you're not an evangelical Christian you will feel excluded and be made uncomfortable frequently.- No arts education outside of very few classes.- They extracurricular programs are limited, the ones that do exist are exclusive, and allow very few children participate.- The current administration is flakey and inconsistent and operates in crisis mode.- They don't understand correlation and causation, and associate overburdening children with school work as the reason for high performance.- There is no gifted curriculum, and very poor application of services for delayed students (however, if your child is a robot they will thrive here, especially if they are programmed to test well and complete hundreds of worksheets a year).- The PTA is run as a clique and charges $ for EVERY single one of its events. I have not heard of any exceptions for lower income families.- The teachers are inflexible and seem to have very little accountability.

I LOVE LOS ROBLES!!! I think it's a great school! I've had 3 kids go through Los Robles Academy , and I am very pleased with the education they received there. My daughters are in 5th grade and are completely prepared to move on to middle school thanks to the knowledgeable, caring and supportive teachers they've had throughout the years. Mrs. Diaz, our principal, has been exactly what our school needed. Thank goodness the district hired her! She's been at Los Robles for two wonderful years. She's highly motivated and energetic. She also has a clear vision of what is needed for the success of our students now and in the future. She supports her teachers, loves the kids at the school and works well with the PTA.We couldn't ask for a better principal. Thank you Los Robles for 10 terrific years.

Not recommended. My personal experience with one student in middle school and the other in kindergarten, is the school is more focused on catering to the under privileged families so there isn’t much of a challenge for the students. Late work is accepted without consequence, and teachers don’t really focus on the quality but rather based on the students mental needs. Not to mention the staff tends to be more on the gossip scene than actually.With that said, free after school care! And lots of focus on diversity programs.

Easy way for bad students to make up credits with minimal effort.
