Alta Vista Elementary School

I love this school. All of my children have attended and I wouldn’t take them anywhere else. We are Arp Eagles for life!

We had a complicated experience with grades 1-3 and transitioning from private preschool to public elementary school. Many problems came to light, and sorting out the sources of the problems and how to address all of them has taken time, patience, and education. I am grateful for the principal and her leadership of her team. I am grateful for the experts involved with my family and their care for my son and tact with me.

The staff were all helpful and friendly, all year long. My son had an amazing relationship with all the staff, and students, not just those of his grade. He always wanted it to be a school day, because he loves learning.

I had my children attend Trinity from preschool through 6th grade and it was a decision I have not regretted. I loved the religion aspect, praying at the beginning and ending of school as well as theological concepts taught gave my children a firm moral foundation before going into middle and high school. When they entered public school they were ahead in some subjects and behind in some others but I would expect that to be true going from any school to another. The difference is that I feel my kids learned how to learn and how to think logically. Because if weekly memorization work, how fast my kids memorize things now amazes me. It was well worth every penny we spent.

We have been at the school for over 5 years. We absolutely love it, the teachers, staff and parents are great! I currently just became a board member of the PTO and am excited to see what the school will do this year! I would recommend St. Marys Catholic School to everyone!
