My children attended Aliso Elementary from kindergarten through sixth grade, and I feel they had fabulous, dedicated teachers throughout their school careers. They were challenged, rewarded, made close friends, and felt very safe and happy there. As a member of the PTA I worked closely with the office staff, principal, and many teachers. I found them to be dedicated and professional, while extremely approachable. I loved the small, family atmosphere of Aliso.

This school is adequate at best. If you are looking for a school to provide an enriching environment for your child to learn, look else where. Unfortunately, this has the potential to be said about any public school in the state of California. The teachers are all tenured and while some are terrific, others should be in a completely different profession. School needs to be about the kid not about the rules, PTA or the SVUSD Board. One size does not fit all. Education should be about the individual.

Wow it's true you don't know what you have until it's gone! My child attended Aliso from the fourth grade thru the sixth grade and has gone on to the Junior High level. Aliso was a multicultural and great experience for my child. Teachers really try to connect with their students and the fact that its a smaller school helps foster a tight knit atmosphere. The PTA works hard at suplementing the Drama and the Art programs and parent participation is encouraged and very welcomed, even in the smallest of ways. Our children grow up to fast and finding a place that nurtures them, such as Aliso and fosters a level of growth and opportunity is rare. Needless to say I look back fondly (even though not every single moment there was not perfect) at our time at Aliso and so will your child(ren).
