"I have had my three kids in La Jolla Elementary since we arrived from another country almost four years ago. My kids and I have been really happy with the school, the teachers, the principal and the parents involvement. It is a great community."

"Our son just finished Kindergarten. It has been a fantastic year, our son has thrived and we can not believe how much he has learned in 1 year! His teacher Ms. Jessica is fantastic, as well as everyone else at this school. There are so many activities and events which involve the whole family; we feel this is not just our school but also our community. I know in La Jolla there are a lot of choices of where to send your children, and we looked at them all. To those parents who are looking at private schools, we have friends who have made that choice, but I can not imagine they can have a better experience as we have in the past year."

"This school academically is less than to be desired. Students seemed to be pushed through regardless of grades. Coming from a private school to this public school institution was quit an eye opener. Although, in an affluent neighborhood, I found the children wild, unruly, and worldly. I opted not to finish the year due to all the disturbing things I saw and heard. I for one cannot understand how this school obtained its reviews and rating. My experience has been a complete and utter nightmare."

"Ms. Tripi is absolutely wonderful and is truly an exceptional leader. She is totally dedicated to the children and to the school. She is approachable and friendly and sets high standards. The teachers are excellent and available to parents after school. I feel my children are receiving an incredible education and I really couldn t happier. The schools PTA organization puts on some incredible events that really create a sense of community. The parent involvement is awesome! It is a great school all around!"

"Fantastic School. Principal Tripi is firm but well-respected and does a great job of managing the school. The teachers are excellent. This is our third year with the school (two children) and we are thrilled with the caliber of the teaching. Teachers are readily accessible after school in person, and daily via e-mail. The fund raising foundation raises a huge amount of money to finance Art and Computers and many wonderful 'extras' you don't expect to find in Public School."
