Las Lomitas Elementary School

Incredible school with amazing teachers. All of my kids have had an amazing experience.

Wonderful experiences for both our kids. Strong PTA support, small class size and tailored support from teachers.

I love this school. The teachers are amazing and my son has progressed so much since he started school.

This is really as good as you're going to get in a public school in the United States today. The teachers and staff are tireless and go above and beyond in their attention to the individual needs of their students. I wish there didn't have to be so much time and effort on state testing (mostly in third grade, but there's foundational preparation in the earlier years), but unfortunately this can't be avoided in today's public schools, and this school does its best not to teach only to tests. I want to highlight two exceptional resources this school has that can often get overlooked by parents. The school bus drivers are phenomenal. They are caring, attentive, responsible and professional. They were my children's first contact with the school and from that moment on they have felt reassured and excited for their journey each day. And I as a parent always know they are in safe hands. I couldn't ask for anything more. Also the PE teachers are amazing. They teach so much more than just sports and fitness. I know a lot of PE curricula try to do that, but these teachers take it to heart. These classes are one of the key places that my children have developed their character, team spirit and perseverance (and my children aren't very athletic). The PE teachers have identified my children's particular needs each year and then worked to support them and help their confidence grow. I think it's these additional aspects of a school (beyond class teachers, the principal and test performance) that make a good place extraordinary, and this school has these in abundance.
