The ciriculum, teachers, and staff are top notch! I feel my child is constantly learning new things and in a positive learning environment.
Lunada Bay is a beautiful, safe setting with exceptional parental involvement. But the academics and classroom dynamics are lacking. All grades except 1, 2, and 3 (soon only 1 and 2) have more than 30 students per classroom. Teachers are understandably overwhelmed and there is too much 'teaching to test.' Extra help is provided to those lagging behind, but the'gifted program' is almost non-existent. When compared with schools in other areas, LBE looks great, but the reality is that test scores are high because of the socio-economic and educational makeup of the parents. And most of the enrichment is funded by the PTA and the Ed Foundation and staffed by parent volunteers. The strength of the school lies the amazing community of parents who have the luxury of volunteering and the means to provide outside enrichment.
As a parent, I have loved Lunada Bay!! The teachers, staff, and principal are all excellent. The PTA group is wonderful as well, they really make you feel welcome. The classes are challenging, and I like that they had a chance to learn Chinese. My son loves the classes, the ART at your Fingertips, and the creative arts classes. Their GATES program is top notch. One of the most important things I like about this school is the sense of community. The principal and staff really instill the pillars of character, and because of that, you have a nice group of kids who are respectful, well-mannered, and get along well together. Excellent academics, combined with wonderful families, make this school a great school for this community.
Our daughter just started with this school. We like her teacher and principal a lot because they are on top of everything. A lot of opportunities for extra learning on all aspects if you wish. A beautiful school, a safe place in a warm neighborhood with high Academic goals. We are so glad that our daughter end up here.
