Aspen Elementary School

Posted June 2, 2006

The involvement of parents and personnel at this public school makes it a top-notch choice. Nearly all of the teachers hold master's degrees and challenge the kids with interesting curriculum. However, my third grader did seem a little light-handed on the homework for the entire year, though it may have been just that particular teacher. The principal is excellent and very involved with reading motivational programs. Overall, I give the school an A.

Great school, wonderful teachers, overall a very enthusiastic learning environment. My two girls love Aspen and so do my husband and I. The staff is very professional and really interested in the welfare and academic progress of the students. I have met many like-minded parents-people willing to go the extra mile for the benefit of the children. This school offers a variety of on-site extracurricular activities, which is very convenient. The school also offers special education classes. This is a really great school!

In a current environment of budget cuts in California, it was refreshing to see that this little neighborhood school still offers speciality dance classes, speciality art classes, an optional choir program, a talent show for students to showcase their talents and lots of school related fun activities. Objectively, and reporting from experience, if a child is a well behaved youngster who goes with the flow and has no 'issues' either academically or otherwise, then this is a great school. If however, the child is special needs, or 'outside the box' of the mid range 'norm' or 'middle ground' of the class, then perhaps this is not the best school within the district. There is much parental involvement up till the 4th grade, when suddenly, not many parents volunteer to work in the classes anymore. Overall, Aspen is a friendly, cute neighborhood school. The teachers care about the students.

My child attended this school from 2001-2003. I loved it. Great principals. Great parent involvement. Small school compared to others in area. Mid to upper-mid income families mean this school gets what they need. A few teachers have been there since the 60s, and maybe it's time for them to go, but the others are really great. Love Ms. Polling (kindergarten), though we didn't have her, her constantly smiling face let you know she loved her job, and that's what we need most in the schools! Office staff could use a little cheering up.
