Alta Vista Elementary School

As a mother of a student with dyslexia, finding the right school was a challenge—until we discovered Hillbrook Upper School. From the start, we were welcomed into a community that truly understands the needs of students with learning differences. The academic program is rigorous yet adaptable, offering the ideal mix of challenge and support, allowing my child to excel in ways we hadn’t imagined.Hillbrook’s learning support systems are exceptional. They provide personalized, hands-on guidance that builds both confidence and skills. The teachers are knowledgeable and offer individualized support, whether through one-on-one sessions or small groups.Beyond academics, Hillbrook fosters an inclusive environment. My child has grown both academically and emotionally, feeling understood and valued. Hillbrook has been a life-changing experience for our family, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking strong academics with exceptional learning support.

Our son has been at Saint Frances Cabrini for four years, and we’ve loved it. The classes are small (about 20 kids in each class with two classes per grade) so the teachers really get to know each student and give them the attention they need. The campus is gated and feels super safe, which is such a relief as a parent of an elementary school student.The teachers have all been wonderful, caring, patient, and really dedicated. Our son has grown so much here, both academically and socially, and he’s made amazing friends.The parent community has really stepped up too! Everyone’s so involved and supportive. The recent Cabrini Carnival was a huge success and such a fun event—it reminded us that this school isn’t just great for the kids, but for the whole family. We feel lucky to be part of such a positive, close community.
