As the outgoing president of Rio Hondo PTA, I want to thank all the teachers, staff, parents,PTA Board, and mostly the children for making Rio Hondo such a great school! This year's activities were spectacular and PTA was able to assist in many of the following: Kindergarten Orientation, Back-to-School Book Fair, Halloween bake sale, Catalog Fundraiser, Membership drive, Primary grades Thanksgiving Feast, Christmas Concert, Family Fun Night, Founder's Day, Dr. Seuss Night, Family Fitness Night, Open House Book Fair, and look forward to upcoming events such as Concert in the Park, Beach trip, Medieval Times, Disneyland trip, Knott's Berry Farm trip, and 8th grade Promotion Scholarships. In addition to participating, PTA was also able to donate funds for playground equipment, field trips, basketball back boards, and tee-shirts for several clubs. The parent support is outstanding. Good job Rio Hondo and I wish you all success in the years to come.

I personal think Rio Hondo is a great school. The teachers are very dedicated to their school and students. There is tremendous parent involvement with tons of activities at the school. I do feel they need to incorporate more afterschool sports..i.e. basketball, football, volleyball..etc. they do offer track and other campus organizations, however contious sports would help them as they bridge into high school sports for those kids that are sports oriented...but other than that I like the school.

I am astonished to see the bad reviews. My child is a student at Rio Hondo School. The teachers are the BEST! They are truly dedicated to teaching our future and whole-hearted care about the children. I am a product of the El Monte City School District and would not have my child anywhere else. Compared to other schools in the district, Rio Hondo is on top! I must honestly admit that I am less-than-impressed with the PTA, lack of parental involvement and extracurricular activities. An afterschool sports program is desperately needed and may help in boosting school pride. Overall, I think the teaching staff and children at Rio Hondo are exceptional.
