Kumeyaay Elementary School

We feel grateful that our child has had the opportunity to attend Kumeyaay Elementary. We've recommended it to many of our friends outside the area, as our experience has been really wonderful. The teachers, principal are friendly, enthusiastic eductors and really good role models for our child.

I would rate it with one word: horrid. My supporting evidence? The day we pulled our kid from this school, on our way out, the principal gave a hug to my son and told me: “I’m sorry that you had to go through such a terrible (or bad-I can’t remember her exact word) experience here.”Kindergarten teaching is a completely different thing than elementary school teaching. It’s during these years (TK&K) that kids either start loving school or hating it. As a parent who saw the transformation on my kids attitude towards a much more positive and calmer one after moving out of this school, I can safely say that even if you ace your pedagogical formation classes at school, unless you have a high enough EQ to empatize with the little ones, have a willingness to go to their level to understand their emotional needs, know a thing or two about positive reinforcement (which is tens of times harder than just sending 5 y.o.s to the principal’s office constantly), have nerves of steel, simply do something else with your life.

This school is wonderful! The staff, admin, teachers and principal are so kind and supportive and professional. My kids have thrived at this school.

Excellent. The level of Professionalism and Education that the teachers and Principal have is fenomenal!. This new principal really cares for their Teachers and Students.
