Capistrano Elementary

My kids go to this school and they absolutely love it! They come home excited to do their work and talk about their day.. we’ve been blessed with great educators. My son loves to learn and share it with EVERYONE and I love that all his teachers allow him to instead of shutting him down and making him into a robot. My daughter looks up to her teachers and respects them tremendously. I feel like these teachers are guiding my kids to become great things.. daughter-teacher son-scientist. They gave them the gift of hope that they can be whatever they want to be.

This school has challenged my daughter academically but in a positive way. She transferred over from the Ceres Unified School District last year and started her 5th grade year at Capistrano. In the CUSD she always excelled, not only at the top of her class, but usually in the top of her grade throughout the school. Constantly winning awards or certificates for her high scores in Math and reading scores.

But once getting to Capistrano she began learning Common Core and she's never saw this type of Math before and neither have I.

Although she struggled for a short period of time at Capistrano & would get frustrated & feel like giving up, she eventually learned it and learned it quite well. Who I would thank for her getting it down packed, would have to be her teachers in 5th and 6th grade.

The teachers are dedicated and the principal, Mr. Jensen. One thing regarding Mr. Jensen is that he is strict and makes sure the students are held accountable for their misbehaving behavior but at the same time, he's always fair and he cares about each student, individually.

I think it's a good school for the most part. I'd recommend the school. Although some people might think that the school is in a "bad neighborhood", it actually isn't. This neighborhood isn't as bad as it seems or is portrayed and even if it was, regardless of that, the school is nice on the exterior and the interior and the teachers and staff are all nicely dressed, proper, professional educators.

I appreciate their hard work and dedication they put in each day to their students and I personally appreciate what they've done for my child.

Friends have had their kids here before. They had a good time and learned so much.
So quickly.

We are blessed to have a program such as this for our children.

My son went to tk there with some good results he learned and made some good friends

Nice school
