Redwood Shores Elementary School

My children look forward to going to school every day and we couldn't imagine a better community for our family to learn, grow and thrive in.

In my opinion, this school is above average. My daughter is happy, loves going to school, loves her teacher and has progressed academically.

We heard many good things before our child enrolled in this school. However, it was mostly with the first principal. She's very caring and understanding. However, the second principal was not good. Bullying was a problem. After the second principal retired, the third principal is OK, although not that approachable. Teachers are mostly caring and doing their best. The school put a lot of emphasis on healthy eating, and it seems that many students take it to heart. Some 4th and 5th graders seem be bored academically at school, but it's probably more because of common core, not the school.

My daughter started when the school first opened last year. It is a top notch elementary school (and we have experienced other elementary schools with our other children). RSE has a caring, experienced, and enthusiastic principal, an amazing building/facility with new technology, and the MOST incredible teachers and staff. The parent involvement is extremely high, and most of the parents I observe seem to really care and support the love of learning for their children. There are many family events sponsored by the PTA and we are excited to see how the community of this new school continues to grow.
