Terra Vista Elementary

Great school. 1 of our boys just graduated from there. And still have one left there.

I come here to pick up my niece. This school is very kid-​friendly. They have a park inside the campus and outside by the parking lot so you can take your toddlers for a stroll in the park. The parking gets pretty packed when the kids are getting out so come a little early. If you choose to wait in your car. they have the drop off/​pick up lane but be prepared to wait a while. There are tons of kids crossing but everybody takes precautions. I don’t know much about the classes but they give a good amount of homework. Although I did hear some parents complaining that it was too much for their kids. I think when it comes to that. one should pace their kid (S) accordingly. I’m proud of my niece though for always getting her stuff done everyday without complaining :) ALSO they have this thing called Battle of the Books where they get to pick what books they want to read and they would have to write a summary of each book they read. I think this is an amazing program for the students. It helps them be smarter. It improves their grammar, spelling, and their understanding of how other people live their lives, etc. Really good exercise for the brain at a very early stage in their life. P. s my niece just turned 9 just so you have an idea of what grade she is in. she’s in 3^rd. :D

My kid is enrolled n a pre-​school class taught by Mrs. T, Room H1. The teacher is awesome. The class is great. The hugest concern is that there is NO PARKING at all. The school would close all the entrances for parking from all sides and there is a very limited space on the street. The front office ladies are pretty strict and serious, no smiles when they greet you. The office is really hidden and you need to figure out how to get out from the school once you are inside the maze. :) So I’d give only 3 stars for the school, but 5 for the Mrs. T’s class!
