"My daughter attended 2nd grade this year at Sumac and I couldn't be happier. She has thrived. The teachers and principal seem to really care about the kids progress. They take the time to get to know the kids each individually and seem to adjust approach depending on needs. I have been very impressed and look forward to 3 more years at this school."

"I appreciate how all students are valued and are able to learn in a nurturing, yet supportive environment. The curriculum keeps students engaged and challenged, but not to the point of frustration."

"Both of our kids attend Sumac and we have really enjoyed the experience. The school has strong parent participation, a terrific staff of teachers and amazing enrichment programs like music and PE. We are also very enthused about the technology focus that the school has adopted."

"Our children are in 1st and 3rd grades and we are in our second year at Sumac. We could not be happier with the staff, teachers, and principal. This is the most racially/ethnically diverse school in the area and the parents and the whole school embraces multiculturalism. Our children participate in their top-notched strings program and chorus. My son plays the violin wonderfully and the music director, Peggy McClintick is phenomenal. She has the 1st year and advanced year violinists perform in the annual Lindero Canyon Middle School's Fiddlefest. This experience is first rate for our young performers. Also, the principal, staff, and a core group of parents are forward thinkers. They are about to launch an exciting program that enhances global literacy through a language immersion program in Spanish and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) that is fully integrated. Wow!!! This is exciting. If we were looking to send our child to a top notched public school in the area that embraces diversity on many fronts and embraces 21st century learning to produce competent global citizens, I would choose Sumac hands down."

"My child is in 5th grade and we are at our 6th year at Sumac. I couldn't be happier with the teachers or the curriculum. There is a music teacher, strings program and the finest PE teacher I have ever met. The principal is installing some very forward thinking programs in the near future including a STEM program and full immersion Spanish program for families who want to participate. These new programs sound so exciting I wish I had another child to send through. As for the comment below about security that is ridiculous. In the first place their child was under the supervision of the YMCA - an after school program - not Sumac. In the second place there is not one school in the district that is completely locked. In fact I have personally been on 7 of the 8 elementary campuses and Sumac is by far the most difficult to get into and the most gated. I have been a substitute in the district and if I were able to choose among all the elementary schools regardless of where I lived I would definitely choose Sumac."
