Peters Canyon Elementary School Reviews

 
This is an excellent public school which functions as a private school. I would highly recommend this community rich school. Parents are asked to become a part of their child's education in many instances. Some parents would rather not invest their time in their children and those kids suffer. All in all a terrific community, school and group of teachers.

The academic program is very very good and the children seem to be able to keep up with the high expectation. It is very competitive even at the lower grades. The extracurricular programs seem limited. The parent involvement is high.

This is an outstanding school. Technology is emphasized in all classrooms and there is a lot of support from the families and community. Extracurricular activities are abundant and the quality is excellent.

Very hoity-toity school. My son came home with a request for either money or extra supplies every week. Curriculum wise, it's great. The pto does an excellent job raising money (go figure) and uses those funds to purchase new computers and books. Peters canyon has won a few awards for excellence while my son was attending. The curriculum is not well rounded. The teachers should spend more time educating instead of participating in pto sponsored activities. Yes, it does make school fun, but at what expense? Dealing with the other parents is a horror. A lot are snobby and expect more than they deserve. The teachers take a while to get back to parents regarding any in school concerns. But hey, they have a great school website.

This school has very high standards, but sometimes I felt the 'teach to the test' impulse was a little too strong. Overall, though, I was very pleased with the level of instruction and the teachers themselves.

If your child is in special education, this is not the school or school district to be in. At one point they actually took their classroom away and tried to fit all of the special education students in a resource room. Tustin USD does not care about special education! Go to orange school district! Also, my son went to the on campus after school care facility, broke his arm, they didnt call me for an hour. He had to have surgery! we didnt stay at that school for long or in the district for that matter. It is nearly impossible to get a hold of the special education admins. They never call you back!
