Read what parents are saying about Escondido Elementary SchoolOverall, this is a great school, with tremendous parent involvement. There is some room for improvement, particularly around the math curriculum - although there is a supplemental math program which is great. Not all of the Spanish language teachers are native speakers, but they are all committed and hard-working and care a lot about the kids. There is some differentiation in the classrooms, and quite a lot of technology available to this kids (iPads and laptops are brought in semi-regularly to the classrooms). There is a lovely school garden, but so far the garden hasn't been worked into the curriculum. There are also social cliques, and some social tensions between the Spanish and English students.
Posted by a parent on 6/22/2014I moved to Palo Alto from Europe in June and I was lucky to have my son accepted at the Spanish Immersion Program at Escondido. He is in second grade. I can say that, hands down, this is the best school my son has ever attended. He attended two private schools in Europe and I have never encountered the level of professionalism, support, and care for children that I witness at Escondido every day. I have studied and visited schools all over the world. From this vantage point, I can say that my son's teacher is fabulous: Experienced, dedicated and knowlegeable. She adores her children and keeps a very close eye on their needs and progress. The administrative staff and the Principal are extremely responsive, easy to deal with and "on the ball". Escondido provides a safe, age-appropriate environment where children can thrive academically and developmentally. My son is HAPPY at school. Every day! Children cannot learn if they are not happy. He loves his teachers and classmates and I know that he is in the best possible hands. I highly reccomend Escondido as a most solid, caring, professional establishment where children can achieve their best in every aspect of their lives.
Posted by a parent on 10/8/2013This is a great school. The principal is awesome - she really listens to parents, and does a great job balancing the needs of teachers and parents while always remembering that our kids come first. The teaching staff, though not always 100% able to accommodate the needs of each student (possibly because of dictates from the school district - like using the dreaded Everyday Math), is super dedicated and hard-working, and you really couldn't ask for a more involved community of parents! We are very happy at Escondido.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 3 year old son is going to graduate CdeiB in two weeks, as I have to go back to Japan for my job assignment. Miss you all!!It was definitely a great school! Dear Ms. Sandra, thank you so much for accepting my son, he really enjoyed his days at CdeiB. Ms. R, Ms. L, Ms. A, and Ms. V, you're Great teachers, he has learned a lot from you. I couldn't even imagine that at first, he even didn't understand a word, but he grew up healthily and happily. He now can communicate with other kids, clean up his toys, stationaries, and even tableware after his meals by himself, and he can respect others.Not only the teachers, but parents there were also great, they all love their kids, and interact with other parents through the events and BD parties and so on. Great teachers and great parents make this school great and make kids happy.There're so many events that entertain kids, which have made my son happy to attend school. After school, he has always been so energetically telling us how he enjoyed that day.The days in CdeiB definitely changed his life.Strongly recommend this school to all the parents who hope their kids grow up healthy and respect friends. Thanks!Parent Review10mo ago
