"I go to this school and literately, if you ask me, this school gives too many punishments for reason that don't make sense. if there is a problem going on campus, they make sure to take care of it fast. the principal is great, and the teachers are nice. I think Plaza Vista is a school that challenges you if your not a genius, and trust me, your kid will be happy that he went to this school when he/she is in High School. This school prepares you every day for High School. You have homework pretty much every day. Overall, if your child likes a small school where you get a good education, this is the school for you. But make sure not to do anything wrong, cause punishments and detentions come often for kids that don't listen, or horse around."

"My daughter and I love this school. She's just starting second grade and has had great teachers for all 3 years ... and all the other teachers are great as well. She is above her grade level but is challenged and doesn't get bored. Especially in second grade, I believe they'll use different curriculum for different levels to meet their needs. I'm very happy here and wouldn't think about leaving until she's ready to go to high school. I hope people will see that the review with one star is a very isolated case because it really is a great school where every staff is very dedicated to the well beings of the students."

"Plaza Vista is a great school. The teachers and parents are dedicated to the kids and school. I won't send my daughter to the other APAAS schools although she is qualified for the gifted students program. We are happy with the 'clustered program' that Plaza Vista provides."

"My daughter attended Plaza Vista for first grade. It was terrible for her. She had already mastered almost all of the material they presented. They failed to differentiate the curriculum. They refused to any acceleration. Plaza Vista offers no GATE services before 4th grade. My daughter was miserable and bored silly. I took her to an educational psychologist who strongly recommended acceleration. Plaza Vista still refused. We took her to another school which offered acceleration right away. Since leaving Plaza Vista, my daughter is challenged, learning, and happy again."
