I love this school and its staff! My son was a former student at North Shoreview Elementary and although the API score is higher, I think they miss the mark on taking care of students at every level. My son was working below grade level and although the teacher did what she could to help him with summer school, extra reading programs, there wasn't a connection and understanding of my son's real needs. I even met with both the teacher and principal and both promised to deliver on further testing and case study and nothing happend! I was really disappointed. Montessori or not, I think they were too busy to really care about the child's needs. I love everything about Horral. The principal, the teachers really do care. The school is very weary of who is on the school grounds. I was stopped by the principal one day! Awesome!
What school can pull themselves out of program improvement with having the amount of special ed kids factored into their test scores. The teachers are the finest and the school has government funded true art residence that incorporate Arts into the core subjects being taught. You should visit this school and see that it is the best kept secret in San Mateo District.
The worse school ever! Principal is rude. The front office staff is rude. The newer younger teachers are very dedicated and come in with new, fresh ideas and perspective. Clearly there are some veteran teachers who suffer from 'burnout' and need to retire but who do not. Send your child to any other school but here. I have spoke to several other parents who share the same opinion.
An excellent school in this District. My children, one learning disabled (dyslexia), and the other an outstanding pupil, have BOTH done wonderfully at Horrall. I am very happy with all aspects of the School. And just FYI, my children are part of the minority here. They're white. No problems at Horrall at all. Thanks much!
