Linda Vista Elementary School

We’ve had three kids graduate from La Purisima and one who is still an LP student, and I am so grateful to the friend who told us about this wonderful little school. The teachers are caring and positive and, with the small class sizes, they really know their students and individualize their education. Kids are challenged to do their best and are supported at every step— our kids graduated from LP ready to excel in high school. There are ample extracurricular activities, integration of faith into every aspect of school life, and a healthy balance between technology and hands-on learning. The faculty and administration emphasize living Catholic values every day, and with an emphasis on kindness and service, it’s truly a community. Sending our kids to La Purisima is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

Oakridge is a gem in the community. It’s a traditional curriculum founded in conservative Christian values. After three years of my child being on campus, I am confident that my child is loved, safe, and being educated by great teachers. The principal, Mr. Stefan Joly, greets the students daily at the gate, giving high fives and smiles. He genuinely cares for every student. The teachers communicate as needed and support us as families. As always, there is always that one parent who disrupts the status quo and is a bit crazy. The school is quick to dismiss and yet, you get the random bad review. Mr. Joly is nothing but supportive to all students and expects equity among all aspects of the school. I am so happy with my choice in schools. Look no further for an outstanding community school with high academic achievement and a well rounded program.
