Doyle Elementary School

Poor. Alot of children who were not fluent in English. Held other kids back.

as both my kids are in this school from past 2 year and planning to continue futher

School is amazing. Teachers are very nice and they care for your kids. Principal is also amazing. I feel my kid is in safe hands and at a great school. Thanks Doyle

I had my son attend Doyle from kindergarten through 3rd grade. The main reasons we transferred was the lack of support for Seminar / High GATE. My son learned he could do very little and still get good grades which started to create bad habits. There is way to many kids at this school, combined with lack of state support for gifted learners, to have any differentiation in the classroom. We Choiced into Hawthorne Seminar and are extremely happy with did for fourth and fifth grade. He was able to learn alongside other kids with similar ways of thinking and share common interests. The teachers are highly experienced with this population. The active parent foundation raises funds for enrichment programs like fencing, choir, theater, STEAM projects, robotics, Latin, Math Olympiad, etc. I was very frustrated with the PTA leadership at Doyle at the time we left and even though there is nearly 1k kids at this school, participation by parents is very low. Also, a large portion of resources get tied up in the massive revolving door of international students coming and going all year long without extra help from SDUSD. For the majority of kids, this school does a good job, but if you have a gifted learner, I would consider my options.
