Arroyo Vista Charter School

Posted September 1, 2009

This is a very nice school with alot of extra curricular activities. My only complaint is the parking. Everyday is a headache twice a day for working parents with younger children.

I was very excited to now that there was a school so close to home that offered a full day kindergarten program. However, from the very begining I was unhappy. My son's teacher was moved form one grade level to another in a very 'short notice', therefore, the classroom was unprepared or unorganized for the children. Also, the system the school has during lunch time. The children must sit on the floor and wait until they walk them over to their play area. It is ridiculous! It doesn't stop there, but I'll stop!

I have mixed feelings about Arroyo Vista Charter School and its leadership. On the one hand, I know that expectations for staff and student performance is above average. That's great! On the other hand, I know that many teachers leave after a short time at the school and that proves to be difficult for children. My own child has had 5 teachers leave in the middle of the school year! If it were only one or two, I would probably think it was just coincidence, but obviously the administration has difficulty maintaining staff. I know the staff works very hard because I see them there all hours of the night and every weekend. I have a four-year old that I am considering placing into another neighborhood school in order to avoid the same situation next year even though I love the parent involvement and the curriculum.

Arroyo Vista is an excellent all-around school. I have 2 children that now attend Arroyo Vista and 1 daughter who attended for 7 years. My son is in kinder in the Immersion Program and my daughter is in 6th grade. I have not had one problem at this school. My husband and I are both teachers and feel extremely fortunate that our children are well taken care of and receive excellent instruction on a daily basis. There are several excellent teachers at this school. They are dedicated and hard working. The only concern is the teacher turn over at the sight. This situation has improved in the last 2 years so I am hopeful that they continue to retain wonderful teachers. As a teacher in an economically disadvantaged school I know on a first hand basis how lucky we are here at Arroyo Vista.
