Bonita Canyon Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-09-05 “While this is a high ranking school, I do have a couple of general concerns about school safety: the hills surrounding the campus are open, with no fencing to protect the kids; the pick up and drop off is very chaotic and kids are not looked after well.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-02-15 “My kids have all gone through this school and have had nearly every teacher - it is a great school, a safe and nurturing place for a child to spend their first 7 years of education. The staff, particularly in the lower primary grades, are competent. There are some good teachers, some forgetable teachers, but mostly every one is fine. The upper grade experience could use some improvement. The current principal has done a good job, but I feel it is time for some new blood in this position. Parental volunteerism and financial support for this school is what make it a cut above.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2008-01-21 “Top API in an OC elementary school in 2007!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-20 “The level of parent involvement is great. The principal, teachers and staff are all wonderful and conscientious. We attended other schools in different districts and this school overall is very well structured.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-22 “Good quality school with excellent preparation for the next level” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2006-03-16 “fabulous school - dedicated staff, great neighborhood setting, great balance of acadmics and nuturing.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-10-14 “My son moved from a private school to Bonita Canyon Elementary. We are very happy and impressed with the quality of instruction he's been getting from his 3rd grade teacher. And without the high price tag that we had paid from K-2. Third-grade curriculum is definitely more challenging but our son is quickly learning that he needs to stay on top or he'd fall behind. His teacher is very encouraging and nurturing. We think we've found the right environment for our free-spirited child. The only thing I wished they had were on-site after-school sports activities and Music instruction for the earlier grade level. My son had a Music class in second grade and the PTA bought recorders for each student. It would be nice to continue with that.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-08-13 “This school offered testing for giften children, and very good teachers!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-07-16 “Bonita Canyon is a special place in large part due to the dedication of it's high-achieving staff and parents. Teachers work many extra hours everyday. Parents are expected to contribute both money and time. Many families move to the neighborhood because of the school's reputation as the 'best'. As a result, there is an overall culture that highly values education. On the downside, there is also a feeling of competition (especailly among the mothers) and children may feel stress.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-10-01 “We have just enrolled our son in this school (Kindergarten) and so far so good! My son didn't like going to school but ever since he started, he hasn't really complained about it. So far, I like the structure and the work he brings back home. I'm begining to see why this schools consistently is ranked among the top schools in Orange County, CA” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-09-17 “While the facilities are dated indeed, the setting with the adjacent park is beautiful, kids go back on campus to play after school. The teachers so far have been awesome, my daughter loves going to school there. Parents involvement is very high, through volunteering and fund-raising, the principal is very approachable and open to suggestions, the off-campus after-school program run by the City of Irvine, Kids Klub, is wonderful.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5
