"Paloma Elementary just earned Distinguished School for the second time in its history. Top-down it is an educational institution dedicated to learning and committed to a sense of belonging, all the while challenging kids to achieve their personal best. They are also set to begin their 6th Grade Academy in the Fall of 2012. I am glad my child gets to be a part of this amazing school- hands-down one of the best in Temecula!"

"We had a problem with one of my daughters teachers- during a parent/teacher conference the teacher yelled at my daughter and then verbally attacked me. I was completely dumbfounded; I have never witnessed such unprofessional behavior. Afterwards I requested that she be moved to another class. The principal said that she normally doesn t do that but when it was clear that the teacher also wanted her moved she agreed. Overall I feel like the principal made excuses for the teacher s actions. Instead of having her apologize to me she asked that I not bring it up again, and actually suggested I apologize to the teacher. My daughter is doing better, but now I worry every time I send her to school. The teacher's attitude was that of someone that did nothing wrong. I don't even think she was reprimanded or that it went in her record. I truly believe that a teacher who cannot control her actions shouldn't be teaching."

"I'm very dissapointed with the school. We moved here this summer and our daughter is having many problems. The concerning thing is that instead of helping my daughter to adjust, they are telling me about my parenting. Where are we, Stepford?"

"We've been in Temecula for about a year and a half. We started mid-term, and everything started out great... but my child was very unhappy after just a few weeks. I became aware very quickly of cliques even amongst the youngest children. The new principal was great at working with the kids, but the last teacher was just terrible. They don't do much for gifted kids as far as I can tell... I had to fight hard just to get my kid work hard enough to keep things interesting. So much of it was too easy, and the teacher couldn't care less about the kids as long as the shut up and followed the crowd. Some of the parents were great- but most won't even look your way if you're new. For "The Best School in the District", they're more focused on PTA numbers and fundraisers than they are on making sure the kids are happy and challenged, not teased or bullied. We will probably home-school if the next teacher is anything like we just went through this past year."
