Chula Vista Hills Elementary School

Very good school and the teachers are very nice:) ms Torre is the teacher I volunteer with and she’s a very nice person. I love helping out there. :) I would love a job there soon.

Teachers are superb, Mr. Cansino is the best. Don’t know about this new principal, Mr. Ruth, but the kids seem to like him. The school is very clean. The teachers are very warm and they are genuinely concern about the benefits of the students .My family met the best teachers here starting with Mrs. Hill and Ms. Melendez, my favorite Mrs. Lohner, the great Mr. Arizpe, the cool and composed Mrs. Bangle and the superb Mrs. Sutton. The whole Chula Vista Hills community rocks! It is an awesome school.

Went here as a kid. Great school, wonderful teachers and a great childhood memory.

I’m going to write a review that is over a decade overdue. So please keep that in mind, as things may have changed. Well, things always change, but hopefully they’ve somehow changed for the better.
I loved this school. When I was a child, I went to four different elementary schools because my mother felt it necessary to keep things new, and to keep moving, and didn’t realize how that may harm me socially. I must say that out of all 4 (including two private schools), this was definitely my favorite.
Granted, the children may have ostracized me for being the new kid at times, but of course, there were always all sorts of people around, and I did manage to make a few good, kind friends. I have to point out that Chula Vista is one of the more liberal parts of San Diego (which, yes, I know isn’t saying much), so people on this side of the city tended to be kinder, more open-​minded and more understanding, and I think that showed in the children as well. My teachers certainly seemed to have my – and everyone else’s — best interests at hand.
The school itself was well maintained. Lovely cool shades of white and green, a very large field and playground and track to keep us fit and having fun, and a library with a very great selection of books. I never failed to find a good read here. I absolutely loved it. Back then, all of the teachers also had at least one computer in the classroom and plenty of edutainment, or just other toys in general, to keep the students entertained. And of course, all of the classrooms were well equipped to provide students one of the best public school educations anyone could ever want for their children.
Unfortunately, all of the three teachers I had here are no longer there. One of my favorite teachers of all time, Ms. Stallard, was only a substitute for the first semester of fifth grade. And when Mr. Taft returned for the second semester, he announced he would be retiring at the end of the year. Within two years of completing the 6^th grade with Mrs. Dunn, she unfortunately passed away.
I expect, though, as I have alluded to before, that even though change has been necessary for this school, they have continued to do their best to ensure that all changes are in the school’s best interest in that they can provide the best possible education for their students. If you are thinking of moving into the school’s range and are concerned about the elementary school education that will be provided to your children (which, most parents are), then you can rest assured that you will not fail your kids here.
