Joaquin Miller is a great school, a diamond in the rough. From the Principal, Judy Hession, who is involved at all levels, to the teachers who are caring and passionate about their role, to the cleanliness and order of the school. It's all great. We moved from private school to Miller and couldn't be happier. And our newest excitement is our 1st grader is using on-line learning for reading and math as part of her nightly homework. I love that today's technology is being used as a teaching tool. My hat goes off to the Principal and staff at Miller. Thank you!
We moved to Burbank last year and I had my doubts about the public schools here. Luckily, Miller proved to be a pleasant surprise, and now I find myself looking for a home in this area, so I don't have to move my kids. The teachers I have met are so involved and so thorough and appreciative of the parent involvement, which is another reason I love this school. The API score moved up to 8 last year and I don't see it stopping. Everyone here is so committed that there is only one way to go and that's to the top.
I have a second grader here and a Kindergartner here and I could not be happier. Both teachers, Mrs. Martinez and Mr. Spence are really good teachers and fine people. As are the other teachers I have met here. The parent involvement, PTA and Booster Club are like none I have ever seen. I was recruited! Great energy here and a very ethnically diverse enrollment.
Our daughter had the most extraordinary kindergarten teacher -- Mrs. Martinez. She really engendered a love of learning in her -- not easy as our daughter was really turned off to academics from pre-K -- and gave her extra help where needed. As a volunteer, I got to know all the kindergarten teachers and they are all remarkable. I only wish we were able to continue at this fine school, but we're moving! All staff are highly committed to the kids and there's a solid group of parents who are active in the PTA and who are trying to develop more after-school enrichment activites.
