On January 2009 we arrived at Mountain View coming from Brazil. During six months our daughters studied at Landels (2th and 4 th grades, respectively). Both of them started their experience in the States without any english knowledge. Since the very beggining, all the staff dedicated to us what a couple of parents wish for their children: respect, education, citizenship and friendship. Actually, it was a must for our family to be exposed to this amazing and familiar elementary school. From our point of view and after returning to our country, Landels deserves grade 10 over 10. I wonder...if Landels is graded 7 over 10...the school graded 10 may be part of the garden of Eden (the Paradise). Analogies a part, we want to thanks Mrs. Paula and Patricia Galazzo and Mrs. Carmen Misel for all their help. Ricardo and Alessandra Stein in the name of Laura and Gabriela.

Our daughter has been at Landels for two years and she loves it. The teachers are are excellent and there is a strong community feeling at the school. Labdels has a strong academic emphasis but is not a pressure cooker like others in the Bay Area. My daughter has also enjoyed that fact that the school is also very diverse, with a good sprinkling of kids from Europe, Asia, and Latin America. This is an ideal public school.

Landels is a wonderful neighborhood school. It has a strong community spirit with parent volunteering welcomed and happening in many areas. The quality of the teaching staff is amazing and they all work as a dedicated team ensuring the varying needs of each individual child is met. The kids are exposed to and respectful of the large cultural diversity. Landels is an excellent place for any child to spend their informative years of education.

The latest test scores prove that all the hard work by teachers and staff are paying off in a big way with all groups showing dramatic improvements. It's just going to get better from here, the Landels community wont be satisfied until 90% of students are proficient or advanced. It's not just academics either, Landels PTA along with CSMA and MVEF provide a rich curriculum including Art, Music, and after school Sports. Landels is probably the best school in Mountain View.
