"My child did not get the individual attention he required. It seemed that the teacher just wanted him to fail."

"Sonora! All we can say is that it is the best school! It is a very special place, and our children are excelling, being challenged and having a fun, enriched elementary school experience! We love the teachers, staff, programs, extracurricular activities, PTA, and so much more! We are blessed to be at this school! Thank you, Sonora teachers! We just got our children's test scores, and all we can say is, "JOB WELL DONE!!" ADVANCED in all areas! This CA Distinguished School is outstanding!"

"So if you are into fund raising this school is for you... My daughters teacher was Ok. However as a parent I was not really kept informed as to what was happening at the school so much t the point that i had no idea they had picture day until the pictures came home.. I was lucky i did my daughters hair that day.. She is in Kinder so you would think you would not leave important information in the hands of 5 and 6 year old children, but they do. The Principal great on the other hand bent over back wards to help my family out too bad she was no the teacher."

"This school is the only elementary school in Costa Mesa to integrate music and the arts into all the core curriculums. Sonora has a 150+ member band, and a 65 member advanced band led by a USC PhD musically trained teacher. (Although I am a Bruin, Mr. St. Royal is amazing.) In every classroom, every student has the opportunity to learn and be challenged according to their needs whether advance, proficient, or below basic learners. Parents are highly involved from the 100+ member Dads' Club to sport coaches, to classroom volunteers, to PTA. Sonora is a great neighborhood school for Mesa Del Mar and keeps improving every year."
