John J. Doyle Elementary School

Too much drama. not the best school

I attended Vandalia when I was a little girl (I'm now 62 years old!) and it is wonderful to see how it has endured through the years. We lived across the street and I would walk home for lunch every day. I have great memories of those years - much luck for your continued success! Tami Baker

My daughter is currently enrolled at this school & we love it!! There is lots of teacher/parent involvement. The communication between Monte Vista staff and the parents is excellent. The principal is very involved and very friendly to parents/students/staff. Numerous extracurricular activities are offered at this school, as well as special activites for students. Homework and testing are very important to the teachers as well & I can tell my daughter is learning alot!

what the problem example becasue no two yes

I attended this school from preschool to 8th grade it's really just like one big family. I grew up with most of the students I attend high school with now, the students that attended seem to have a special bond with one another whether or not they were close or even spoke to each other. We all have a different respect and attitude towards things that other students from different schools don't normally have. The teachers at Alta Vista are great they put a lot of time and effort into their students especially one I know who has been struggling for a while. They are a small school and may not have much money to fund things but they work not for themselves but for their students, to watch them grow and flourish and become something nobody says they can become because they go to a poor school on the East side of Porterville. What they lack gets made with the quality of loving teachers and students who are always there for one another, they help pull each other, and even the teachers up especially in hard times because they care; which is a big quality all A.V.S. kids have even when they are juniors and seniors in high school.
