Golden View Elementary School

I have two kids there. Great teachers, staff, and community. Wonderful school. I highly recommend it.

Couldn’t be happier with the teachers and administrators at Golden View.

I've had two kids at Golden View for the last three years. I've been really impressed with the tenured teachers and the tightknit community. I highly recommend the school.

As a parent, I see this school is highly overrated. I don't think the teach well here, specially when it comes to maths and English, there is no homework or something they push practicing. The school gets high ratings just because of good parents who keep spending time and money on classes outside the school. The worst part is they have this odd afternoon schedule for K/TK, which is absurd for working parents. No other nearby school does that. They probably expect parents to hire someone to drop kids off they have work. Basically the school is indirectly saying if you are parents with no ability to work from home and manage timings according to what we say just get out of this area and rent somewhere else.

I have three children at Golden View, and we have been very happy with it. Academics are excellent, and the teachers and administration are very caring and responsive to parent questions. We have had no problems with bullying, and the school has a number of programs throughout the year to teach the children compassion and inclusiveness. The school is very diverse in terms of religions and national backgrounds, but not very economically diverse. Almost all families are middle-upper class, which can create a disconnect when dealing with issues affecting less advantaged populations. My only negative is the amount of homework given to young students, which starts in kindergarten, and is too much, in my opinion. However, this is something most parents want, so I am in the minority on that subject.Also, I want to commend the reading resource specialist, Mrs. Davis. One of my sons had a lot of difficulty with reading in first and second grades, so was recommended to the reading specialist, and he made great improvement in just a few months. Now that classes are remote, I have seen her working with him, and she is so patient and caring. We love her!All 3 of my kids have been very happy at Golden View, and are well academically ahead of kids their age in other parts of the country, judging by what I hear from friends and relatives in other areas.
