While the teachers are wonderful, the principal is not visible on campus. I can name 3 families who have moved their children to a different school this year because of the violence on campus that the principal is unwilling to deal with. It is unfortunate because this school desperately needs a strong presence on campus, a leader, a disciplinarian. Our child will not attend this school next year.
I absolutely love this school! The teachers are warm, caring, supportive individuals who make learning fun for my kids. The principal goes above and beyond to make personal connections with the families. I know of one instance in particular where she acutally helped a family find housing when they were suddently homeless. She is always visible on campus. The kids love her. Parents are always welcome to sit down and speak with her. My kids have been at La Mesa Dale for the past five years and each year it just seems to get better.

My son is in kindergarten and his teacher is absolutely great! She lets me come in early even though I have a 10 month old baby as well. They constantly test the kids to make sure they are learning what they need to before moving up. I love this school!
My two girls were at La Mesa Dale for three years. We had a terrific learning experience! Both of my girls had Mrs. Varhola for 3rd grade -- she is great! One of my daughters had Mrs. Richardson for two years as she was in both a 4th/5th combo for 4th grade, and then had her again for 5th. Mrs. Richardson is also a fantastic teacher. We have moved and won't be there any longer, but truly appreciated the learning environment.
