Spreckels Elementary School

I love the way the school community approach students for character building skills. Kids are encouraged to be kind and contributing members of society. I have to give credit to both seminar teachers for the job they did. My kids were taught to think in a broader sense and has become a self directed learner. They continue to succeed both in the classroom and out side of the class room.

Excellent. Spreckels rocks! I really love this school. There is such a strong sense of community here!

My daughter is now a 2nd grader in her 2nd year at Spreckels. We came in as a new family at the same time as the school got a new principal, Ms. Cazary. Our experience so far has been very positive. The staff is so friendly and caring of the students. The parent involvement is very high and the PTA is very active in creating fun events as well as funding important programs. Both my daughter's teachers have been great, attentive and caring. Her 2nd grade teacher in particular is really wonderful. She has a class with some challenging attitudes and behaviors to deal with, but manages to keep the peace as well as teach the kids effectively and with a great deal of attention and care for each student. The Spanish program is being expanded with new workbooks and we look forward to seeing the benefits of that. Overall, we are very happy to be part of the Spreckels community!

Both my sons have attended Spreckels. What drew our family to Spreckels is it's diverse community. What's kept us at the school is competent & loving teachers. Parents are involved. The PTA does a great job fundraising. This school has great selection of after school programs.
