Royal Oaks Elementary School

I have been very pleased with my experience at Royal Oaks. As parents, one of our #1 priorities is our child's safety and ensuring that they excel academically. I could personally say that I know my daughter is in good hands at Royal Oaks. My daughter had been going to a private Catholic School for pre-k and I had pulled her out of the school to attend Kindergarten at Royal Oaks. I was a little nervous about my decision at the time. We continued to see her friends from the private school through Girl Scouts. It wasn't until one day the girls were doing an activity that we saw that my daughter already knew how to read and actually enjoyed it in comparison to the other girls. One of the moms was a little surprised. At that moment I knew I had made the right decision. My daughter was going to a school she enjoyed, she was excelling academically, and I was saving over $500 a month of paying tuition fees at the private school. The two teachers that I couldn't thank enough are Mr. Armas and Mrs. Milano. They gave my daughter the right foundation in Kindergarten and 1st grade.

I am very pleased with the education my three children have received at Royal Oaks Elementary. The school offers excellent programs and has a dedicated staff. The principal, Mrs. Kolodinski, teachers and staff strive to provide a top-notch curriculum. Royal Oaks campus provides a safe and family oriented environment. They care about every student. It has been a very good and positive experience for my kids.My oldest son is now a sophomore at Duarte High School and my daughter is in 8th grade at Northview Intermediate School. They continue to receive a very good education in the Duarte Unified School District. The administration, teachers and staff’s main objective is to prepare Duarte students for a college education and beyond. They are dedicated to providing an excellent education.I think the partnership with Duarte Unified and the California School for the Arts will be a positive one. It is a nice addition to the existing partnership with City of Hope and Citrus College.

Royal Oaks is a WONDERFUL school! The proctors who welcome the kids in the morning are fantastic with the kids as well as the proctors who send them home at the carline! They are very caring! Miss Cherry, Miss Maria, Miss Gabby & Miss Turner are a few to mention. My son is a 2nd grader and has been here since kindergarten. He feels safe and at home at this school. My daughter attended this school as well and now is a senior at DHS. I myself is an alumni of Royal Oaks and would highly recommend this school! The principal is very approachable, she has lots of pride in her school. I see her out at the carline in the rain making sure the kids get in the car safely. She also listens to our concerns. She makes sure that the children are number one priority! At school the kids are safe and have the best education! The foundation for our son with Mr. Armas in kindergarten was second to none! Our son started reading in kindergarten and he continues to love reading!

We currently have our daughter at Royal Oaks, in 1st grade and our son went to Royal Oaks from K-6 and is now at the middle school. We have been happy with Royal Oaks in all the years we have been there. The one time we did have an issue it was immediately addressed and we were pleased with how it was handled. There are many wonderful and dedicated teachers at Royal Oaks and also a great PTA. I highly recommend Royal Oaks.
