My child attended this school for three years before we moved to a new area. We really miss it and now really appreciate what we had there. All three of the teachers that we had were awesome. My child learned so much. I didn't have to teach her homework to her, she learned everything in class and I was just a homework checker. That is the way it should be! The principal is awesome and she knows the names of all her 900+ students! Whenever I needed to talk to her, she was available. When I emailed her, she responded asap. She really runs a tight ship. The school is beautiful and very well kept up. I love the new garden! The PTO is also truly amazing. Hats off to them! So many wonderful people at this school...teachers, staff, PTO and parents. We really miss your school!

The teachers at this school are amazing. Not only are they accessible to the students for their needs, but they work closely with the parents to keep involvement to a maximum. I have never been happier with a school.

Great school. My kids have gone here since it opened. We have had nothing but amazing teachers and our kids have excelled! I also, however, questioned some of the 'green theme' like the other parent mentioned. I know other schools do not heavily promote any of this stuff, so why ours?

My son loves the teachers and they keep his active mind challenged. For instance, he's doing third/fourth grade work in second grade. I am glad they push the students that excel instead of simply teaching down the middle.

Dislike the 'green' theme this year at the school with talks of 'carbon footprints' and 'global warming.' Government is slipping into the cracks of our public schools with now the H1N1 vaccine being given here. Though it is optional, we do not have govt. health care YET and this is already happening. VERY DISAPOINTED!

I have two children attending SEES and we love it! The principal is incredibly dedicated, parents are very involved and the teachers are excellent. The PTO supports a ton of great programs including art, science and music.

My children attended SEES last year and thought it was good but it was way over crowded. We now live in the Poway Unified School District and realize that good is not good enough. There is a night and day diffference between the two districts. Our children are now working at their full potential --PUSD sees to that.

My daughter loved this school and her teacher Mrs. Goodman! she misses her year there and is always talking about it. unfortunately because of the boundaries changes she had to attend carillo elementary, although it also looks like a good school! I sure miss San Elijo!

Great school. My daughter attended Kindergarten this year and was in Mrs. Goodman's class. Great experience. Principle is highly involved and creates a very positive environment.

This school has many wonderful teachers, but they are limited by the school distrct. They teach strictly to the STAR test, which limits creativity. The class sizes are not only outrageous, but are illegal in our state.

My children are in Kindergarten this year and so far, we love the school. The teachers are enthusiastic and committed, as are the parents and the administration.

My child attended 1st grade with Mrs. Anderson. Great teacher. Parental involvement was very high. The principal was very involved and the experience was very positive.
