Arroyo Vista Elementary School

Arroyo Vista Charter School is an elementary school that provides excellent instruction to kinder through sixth grades. They have a Spanish immersion program that is very good.
The parent involvement is unmatched at this school. AVCS consistently receives the highest number of PTA members annually. In 2010 we received over 700 memberships, the most in the Chula Vista district.
Why would they receive so many? Because the teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated to the children.
This is also one of the few public schools that still offer art and music instruction. The PTA funds the salaries of the art, music, and physical education teachers. This benefits the students and the teachers. Countless studies have been conducted which state the benefits of including art and music into a school curriculum. Students who take part in art and music score higher in other subjects. (AVCS received an API of 902 in 2010).
Having dedicated art, music, and physical education teachers also benefits the grade level teachers at this school because it allows teachers to focus their lessons in math, reading, writing, social studies, and science.
The teachers also have a large number of parent volunteers which allow them to spend more time on the lesson plans and less time in the copy room. Great school!
