Torrey Hills School

I finished fifth and sixth grade here, as well as the last month of fourth grade. In fourth grade, I had just come to the United States and didn't speak English well, my teacher was helpful and I could speak the language fluently by the time I entered fifth grade. My teachers were all very encouraging. This school also has a great music program and STEAM+. I loved the school.

My daughter attends kindergarten here and it's been good for her, so far. She enjoys going to school everyday and though there are 21-23 kids per class, the children are able to maintain a relationship with the teacher and the teacher is able to give her attention to each child's needs by organizing after-school classes.

I was concerned when my child started school here because it seemed large (about 700 students), but it is organized and run in a way that makes it seem much smaller. We have strong parent involvement and an incredible teaching staff. Love it!

Torrey Hills Elementary is such a wonderful school. My oldest daughter attended 6th grade and my yougest daughter started in 1st, now in 2nd grade. The communication between parent and teacher is wonderful (email and websites in any school is helpful!). The neighborhood is so safe. Parents drive a bit fast but I guess that is CA for you. NO bullying! Every child is so sweet to each other. There is a buddy reading time...6th graders spend time reading with the 1st graders...so cute! PTA is VERY active! I hope the lack of funds in the school districts don't mess with these GREAT SCHOOLS!
