Ortega Elementary School

We loved both the gen-ed and dual language Spanish Immersion program for our two kids. You have to go and see it for yourself. Wonderful little neighborhood school.

My son loves his principle and teachers. Beautiful tree lined neighborhood of Murray Hill and a community that truly cares about the students success.

This is a great school however it’s extremely overcrowded! They over accept and accommodate students outside of the neighborhood. Too many students. Extended day has a long waitlist. They don’t prioritize students that actually live in this school zone.

Emotionally not safe for kids mentally not safe for kids

The school used to be great. It went downhill within a year, and all of the longtime teachers left. It got so bad that some teachers left mid-year. They constantly play musical teachers. There's drama amongst the staff which I have witnessed first hand while at school functions. They raise the price of tuition significantly every year to the point that it will no longer be affordable to send even 1 child. The first year, my child was provided with support for special needs. Since then, nothing has been done to support her even after meetings with the counselor, teachers, and the principal. The school is garbage. Save your money and send your child elsewhere.

I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone my patient was unenrolled for a”false medical document”. However she isn’t listed under mom’s last name if they actually reached out.
