Bonsall West Elementary School

Too many bullies and teachers do nothing to keep kids safe. My kid has been choked hit and cursed at and the school year has barely started. Teachers act surprised and show no interest in addressing the issue, it's a tactic that has been working for the staff meanwhile there are multiple kids and multiple incidents. While the usual culprits remain in place with no consequences.

Libby Elementary has been nothing short of amazing for my family. My child is in great hands. The staff are like loving grandparents to my child. And they also make us (parents) feel at home. Great communication between teachers and parents as well as front office. They are quick to answer any questions we may have about anything school related or about my child. They truly seem to care about my child as if it was their own. My child can’t wait to go to school and comes home with a big smile every single day. Angela Taylor (special education teacher) has been a blessing to our family. She makes education fun and has a motherly attitude towards education. She is very informative and loving. She has the attitude of she is not only there to do a job, she is there to make a difference in these children’s lives for the better. And she is doing an incredible job. Thank you to the school, staff, and Mrs. Angela Taylor for all that you do.

I may be biased, but NIchols Leadership Academy is one of the best schools around. I was one of the lucky teachers who got to open this school brand new back in 2002. It gets better every year. The staff is awesome and the families make it even better. Nichols feels like home!

My child has been attending this school since kindergarten and is now in 1st grade. Unfortunately, the experience has been incredibly disappointing due to the lack of leadership and communication from the principal.While my son was in kindergarten, he was physically assaulted by another student. I was never notified by the school. I only found out recently—from my child himself—that both students were sent to the principal’s office. The fact that no one thought to inform me is absolutely unacceptable.The principal has shown zero accountability and clearly does not prioritize student safety or parent communication. If you’re considering this school, please be aware: your child’s well-being and your right to be informed may not be taken seriously here.I would not recommend this school to any parent until there’s a change in leadership and accountability.

Mission Meadows Elementary School has unfortunately declined in quality since the change in leadership from Dr. Porter to the current principal, Mr. Peel. Under Dr. Porter, the school was a much better place for students to learn and grow.Since Mr. Peel took over, the environment has become subpar. The school is plagued by rampant bullying, which goes largely unchecked by the administration. This creates an unsafe and uncomfortable atmosphere for many students.The administrators at Mission Meadows seem to lack genuine care for the students. Their focus appears to be elsewhere, resulting in a neglect of important issues and a decline in the overall quality of education and student well-being.I would not recommend Mission Meadows Elementary School to any parent who values a safe, nurturing, and effective learning environment for their child.

As we walk to and from school with so many other families, play at the park after school with friends, or grab an ice cream cone from the ice cream truck, I’m often reminded that Alamosa Park Elementary School is truly something special. All three of my children have been blessed with incredible teachers who have cared deeply for them and invested time and attention in the areas where they needed to grow. The school also has an outstanding foundation and PTA who work tirelessly to create meaningful assemblies, events, and field trips for the kids, while continually supporting teachers and classrooms. The families are wonderful as well, and our kids have made lasting friendships. These years will always hold a special place in our hearts and will be remembered fondly. If you’re new to the neighborhood or looking for an exceptional elementary school, we could not recommend Alamosa Park enough.

The school was really good up unitl they had an new principal start a few years back. The principal is not very welcoming and has been rude to parents. Additionally, the school has lost great teachers to retirement/exits and did not keep one of the greatest assets to the school, the music teacher. As a result, the school has lost its spirit and i am seriously considering transferring my child to a better school.
