Fantastic, top notch school. I am an educator that has worked at 12-15 different schools and districts. From my background I can say TPES is one of the best schools in san diego and la jolla. Staff are well above average, as are the support staff, and after school care (character builders). Family e
Posted by a parent on 9/6/2025This is an amazing school with dedicated, highly qualified teachers and a supportive, caring staff. Both of my daughters are thriving here, and the parent community is wonderful. I truly don’t understand the few negative reviews— our experience has been nothing but positive, and we’re so happy to be
Posted by a parent on 8/11/2025Some great teachers. Limited family engagement- seems to be preferential treatment among parents. There are great families and people there but the common theme seems to be families are not encouraged to build a sense of community. Admin is awful. At first thought admin would be great but he dishone
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2024We moved to San Diego last year, our daughter started UTK and son went to grade 5...he improved a lot in writing and public speaking. All thanks to Mr.Devore, he is an amazing teacher...Thanks to Mr.Keiper and UTK...My kids love Torrey Pines.
Posted by a parent on 11/26/2023I see a lot of poor reviews, and don't understand? This is a wonderful school with engaging teachers and a great sense of community. My son started UTK this year and his class size is small - 2 teachers : 18 students. We are new to San Diego, and are so glad to be part of the TPES community -

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur family’s experience at this school has been exceptional. My wife, who previously taught within the Diocese, has been genuinely blown away by the experience, dedication, professionalism, and care shown by the teachers and staff.The school provides a truly Christ-centered environment that helps children grow into thoughtful, grounded, and compassionate young people who are well prepared academically and highly respected in high school admissions. What stands out most is the strong sense of community and character development woven into everyday life.Even families who are not Catholic feel welcomed, supported, and fulfilled here, which speaks volumes about the culture the school has created.Having looked at other schools and transferring from one into SMA, we have been blown away by the individual attention and quality of academics.We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this special place for our family.Parent Review2w ago - Gillispie School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth my kids started at MBMA this past year (in Kindergarten and Second Grade), and we couldn't be happier with their experiences! They are excited to go to school every day and bubbling over with knowledge they want to share when they come home. MBMA provides a challenging and engaging academic environment without the stress of similarly rigorous academic programs. The teachers are extremely passionate about what they do and bring the best out of their students. MBMA also provides extremely high-quality specialty classes (Art, Advanced Math, Chinese, Computer Science, Music, PE, Science, and Spanish) and extracurriculars, and arguably has the best Band Program of any elementary school in the area. Having come from another local private school, I never imagined my kids would beg to stay late and be upset if I picked them up 10 minutes early on a Friday. We are very grateful to have found such a wonderful school for our kids!Parent Review4mo ago - The Evans School
