Breeze Hill Elementary School

Posted November 27, 2009

We found Breeze Hill to be very mediocre. They use the standard district curriculum of course, but the school seemed lifeless the year my daughter was in kindergarten. I asked the principal if there was a GATE program for kids that starts in third grade, (most schools start Gate in third grade) and was told that they didn't really have a program during or after school, but that the GATE material was 'embedded in the language arts program'. Other schools do much better than that. Of course, this year no VUSD schools will have a GATE program due to budget cuts, but this just illustrates the complacency of this school. They also don't have a school yearbook and have a bare bones web site. The two secretaries are unfriendly and stay at the back of the office. We're much happier now at one of the Vista magnet schools.

I have three children and we've been coming to this school now for 6 years. The teachers are very experienced and care about the quality of education their students receive. They go above and beyond to inspire and challenge them to prepare them for the next school year. The PTA is very active and friendly and the school provides occasional family nights and fun school functions to promote school unity. Keep up the great work!!

I'm more and more impressed with breeze Hill Elementary! After checking other schools around (our son should go to a different district) I'm really glad we were accepted agasin as a trasnferee. His 1st grade teacher has amazing skills and is really commited to providing an excellent education for her kids, just as his kindergarden teacher was. The AMPM program is also excellent and our PTA is completely hands on! This school is a 10!!

This my sons second year at Breezehill and I wouldnt want him in any other school. His Kindergarten teacher more than prepaired him for first grade and he is in the top of his class and will be learning second grade material by January. His first grade teacher is encredible and has a real passion for her students education. As is the case with all the teachers at Breezehill. They care for our children and want them to excell, not just meet the expectations of the district. I do agree the office staff could improve in its relationship with parents and kids. As parent, you want to know everyone is going to treat your child in a caring and friendly manner so they feel safe and secure. But overall, this school is a 10 to me!
