Spring Valley Elementary School

Posted October 28, 2009

My daughter is in second grade in the Spanish Bilingual program. I have been so happy with how she has developed in this school! The teachers are extremely committed, and the kids all get along well. I have noticed that someone fails kindergarten every year which I think is a testament to the teachers not letting kids slip through the system. Also, the kids don't seem to outcast one another nor do they appear negative/dislike school. Also, the amount of HW seems reasonable, and if anything it builds great study habits. I would strongly recommend this school!

My daughter is just finishing 2nd Grade at Spring Valley Science School in San Francisco. This is the most outstanding public elementary school I have heard about or experienced. Spring Valley is celebrating it's 156th anniversary, being the oldest elementary school still in operation in California. The Principal is extraordinary with ties throughout the community which enhances the students experiences. The teachers are also incredible. They are all extremely knowledgable and creative, bringing all this into the classroom engaging the students, making learning exciting. Science is the focus with reading the very basic. There is year round homework with the expectation of parent involvement to what ever extent they can. My family has attended SF Public schools for 3 generations and this is by far the best elementary school around.
