"amazing school community where every child is valued and the approach is to educate the whole child through academics and social raising ethical, inquisitive creative learners. The school includes a full PE, art, technology program with lab based science, Spanish and music. The school has a rich tradition with yearly events and teachers who are independent thinkers, who value their principal but always focus on the child. This school lead the way with professional learning communities and is the district champion for second language. This school has 2 special day classes with many children with learning issues fully integrated - created their own Understanding Differences - award winning program. Amazing."

"This school is just outstanding. We have been doing intradistrict transfers from a another school zone in the district with marginally better schools, but 3 times the student population. This school has the feel of a private school with all the benefits of a highly dedicated/involved community. We are moving this summer and will be enrolling our kids in private school to compensate for what we are leaving; a well rounded educational institution that focuses on competency (not just teaching to the test). I have loved the "Peace builders" program that helps kids work through any conflicts that arise. This is a Zero-tolerance anti-bullying school, it simply isn't allowed. If you are looking for a safe, nurturing, inclusive place where your child(ren) can flourish, this is the place! 5 stars all the way!"

"We have had two children go through the shcool and now have our third in Kindergarden. Our experience with the school has been very positive. The overall standard of the teaching staff has been excellent, and the strong leadership of the Principal makes for a solid foundation."

"I have had three children at Del Mar Heights who have loved their experience here. One of the special benefits of this school is the traditional sixth grade musical production. This year my daugher is Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz! All my children have looked forward to this wonderful whole grade event."

"Our family relocated from the East Coast to the San Diego area in summer 2006. Del Mar Heights' teachers and staff are dedicated and professional. The academic curriculum is well rounded, and the quality of the programming excellent, including excellent science and computer labs. Extracurricular progras offer a thoughtful variety of choices. Parents are encouraged to get involved on the campus at whatever level of commitment their work or family schedules can accommodate, anything from the occasional task to something more regular. As I said at the beginning, our family is new to the area, and the students have been warm and accepting of my fifth grader. As a parent, I have found the same to be true of the other parents. The PTA is active in many fundraising activities and extracurricular programs at the school. I think Del Mar Heights offers an excellent well rounded elementary education."
