Paularino is wonderful school that my both my kids attend. Since Dr. Nagy started in 2013 she has really put her heart and soul into the school to make it the wonderful school it is today. Both my kids are excelling in all subjects and love going to school to learn. The teachers are wonderful at teaching the kids and making sure they are learning at the level they need to be at. Having parent involvement is also big at Paularino. The school is very welcoming and friendly to everyone that attends there. Paularino as been the best choice I have made for my kids to learn at.

My daughter and I love this school! The staff is amazing, the principal rocks, the school is beautiful. Even the PTA is awesome, We are blessed to have such a remarkable school in our neighborhood.

I was told that my child's kinder teacher doesn't assign homework because she believes that the older siblings at home will do the homework for them. My child is an only child so how can this or any teacher make an assumption like this? Regarding the May 22 2014 review, how can parents check homework when there are no homework! Parents & Teachers need to be a team but unfortunately this "so call" parent is pointing fingers to parents when there is in fact a lack of teaching at this school. This "so call" parent is referring to the 1 star reviews that these parents have kids that are either over reactive or on the Autistic Spectrum. Why is this "so call" parent so concern with every parents reviews and also having such knowledge about Autistic children educational structure. This parent didn't let us know why he/she rated the school based on their child's experience but rather on a bias effort to give the school a 5 star rating for the principle & attacking all the parents that left justifiable & truthful reviews about the school. I agree with all the parents that left the informative comments. I will request a transfer for my child to a better school w/ honest teachers & staff.

LOVE!!! The new principal Dr. Nagy. Paualrino ES is moving up and out of being a PI school. Leadership is the final puzzle piece for maximum achievement. The One Star reviews are people who expect teachers to their job as a parent. Check Homework, parents job! Reading at Home, parents job! Pick-up child from school, parents job! Over active child, parents job! As for students on the Autistic Spectrum, Paularino is the perfect school for a mainstreamed child who still needs a little support. The whole school is aware, empathetic and supportive of students and families with children who live with ASD.
