Oso Grande Elementary School

All Style no substance at Oso Grande

We love this school! My son’s teacher is so amazing and he’s thriving so well. We are so lucky to have moved to this neighborhood and be at this fantastic school!

One of my good friend's child went to this school all through elementary grades. The child required special needs but was repeatedly bullied by the same group of kids. School authorities did nothing after many complaints, in fact, just chose to ignore the complaints. This family went through a lot of trauma during these years. Most supervising moms at the school are cliques who ostracize families not in their circles. A good school is not all about academics !!!! Of course not everyone has the same experience, but just be aware that all that looks rosy may have thorns...- Ladera parent

I have had two children of mine attend Oso Grande and one more to go. Here, you will see teachers who truly care about students, a strong school spirit, a beautiful campus, a focus on helping others and opportunities to excel. The students love their school and contrary to the outdated reviews posted here a few years ago, this school is way above average. I have met several parents from other Ladera elementary schools who said they wish their kids had been assigned to Oso Grande, which has a reputation as the best elementary school in Ladera Ranch. There is strong parental involvement, which makes a huge difference in academic achievement. The teachers work hard and the principal is always open to new ideas on improving the school. The PTA does a great job too. We are so lucky to be a part of this school!
