Read what parents are saying about Vernon Elementary School
Vernon is an amazing community. We love that it’s an IB school, and have been impressed by the ways in which each unit is incorporated in all they do. I’ve never been one to go by ratings alone, so before coming to Vernon we asked friends and neighbors about their experiences. We went to information meetings and social events before kindergarten, and were so impressed. We have never looked back, and feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to be a part of this school community. There are always ways in which we can do better. I appreciate the school’s desire to grow and change, to better serve all students. I appreciate the efforts to make decisions with equity at the forefront. Our children will be better human beings thanks to these formative years at Vernon. So very thankful.

My son is a student at Vernon and I have an incoming kindergartener this year. Vernon has been fantastic for our family. Our teachers are dedicated, loving, approachable and effective. My oldest is thriving and I see his growth, emotionally and academically, each year. We are very proud to be a part of this community.

I’ve been a student at Vernon for over 7 years and my experience with Vernon is wonderful. I would strongly recommend Vernon to prospective students especially if you care about diversity.

As a parent of 2 kids who've been Vernon students since kindergarten and are now 6th and 3rd grades, I feel so fortunate that Vernon is our neighborhood school. The teachers and admin are fantastic and devoted to their students. And we have a super-involved, supportive PTA and parent community. My kids love getting to have garden classes and lots of field trips through the year. I could go on and on, suffice to say I am thrilled with Vernon where my kids are thriving, and would encourage any new parent in the neighborhood to come visit our school and check it out for yourself. Go Owls!

Our son just completed his 4th year at Vernon and we have been so happy to be a part of this wonderful community. Between the skilled and committed teachers, the incredibly involved parents and the amazing new administration, I have watched this school transform and grow into an amazing environment. Our school offers Mandarin, Spanish, Art, Music, choir, band, PE, a garden education program and the list goes on and on.
