I am so happy to be an employee at this school. The staff climate and culture is positive and supportive. Colleagues are unified and are always willing to help out. The principal is involved, positive, proactive, and encouraging. I have worked at several different schools in the past and find Abby Reinke to have one of the best learning environments of all.

Ive been a parent at this school for 14 years now. I have 2 daughters who were past students and one who is a 5th grader at Abby. Weve had the best experiences here with every teacher. I appreciate the work that our PTA puts out. Every year, throughout the year they put together the most amazing events for our kids. All 3 of my daughters love, Abby Reinke and I love it here as well.

We had multiple children go through this school over a period of a decade and several administrators. Mrs. Waddell was, by far, the most outstanding administrator to ever serve that campus. When she left, the school very quickly declined. That school has very high needs special education programs and the program specialist assigned to that site it not experienced enough or equipped to handle it. There are some outstanding special educators and support staff at that school site and related service providers assigned to that site who truly love their jobs, care about kids, and are doing the best they can. We were not able to leave this school on the best of terms which was sad for our family after many years of working together and the new administration sure made it feel like a relief we were gone. The teachers and staff, however, were amazing.

My child did not have a positive experience in this school. The school is full of special ed kids and their aides, with instances of special ed kids running through my child classroom during class, screaming, with their aid chasing them - super disruptive. My child reported school lunches being worse than bad - with frozen edamame beans served as 'vegetables'? The school also DOES NOT offer any activities outside of academics - not a single field trip during the year. Not one! The ONLY "filed trip" my child did was a 5th grade walking tour to the nearby abysmal Temecula Middle School. With this blatant evidence of underfunding, the school nevertheless manages to regularly teach "social studies" to elementary kids students, oh let's all sit in a circle and talk about how we feel about words such as "responsibility" and "kindness". And no homework policy??? Seriously??? My child's teacher, with a Master's degree in Education, told us during a parent-teacher conference that she moved here from Arizona because California is where she could get a much better salary as a teacher. So that pretty much tells you the staff's motivation. Therefore, if you want you kiddo to attend an underfunded, woke California school full of state-funded special ed students, with teachers who care more about their salary than about teaching your kid, go here by all means.

This is the closest to Private school education you will find in Southern California.
Quality education is worth its weight in gold.

Incredible school with the best teachers out there!! Ive never felt a more positive academic experience from any school that Ive ever been to. The teachers ALL really love what they do, and it shines through the kids! My son comes home excited to share what he has learned, and surprises me every single day with facts and details about random things that are well beyond his years! At the rate he and his class mates are going, they will all have respectful personalities, a kind heart, an excellent social life, and become academically gifted in any school they choose to go to beyond elementary school! Truly blessed we found this school!

Excellent school, my son is doing great. Nothing negative to say. Your child's performance is based on how much you as a parent is actively involved with his or her learning. Learning does not stop after the school day ends.

I am an Aunt to a special needs child and I have seen so much progress in this child. I have seen the principal and teachers in action at the Wednesday morning events and Open Houses, etc. What an amazing experience it has been. Thank you Abby Reinke and Principal Jon and Mrs. Martin. You are awesome!!!

We have a son who has difficulty learning and this being a public school, we were expecting his needs to not be met and for him to fly under the radar. I'm ecstatic to report, our assumptions couldn't be more wrong. His teachers, administrators, and supporting staff have come together several times with us parents to thoroughly tackle our child's strengths/weaknesses, not only addressing areas of opportunity and committing to try different methods of teaching but also celebrating his triumphs and personality. We honestly couldn't be part of a better school.

Poor approach to TK and K. Go to a private school for these grades. Allow you kid to be a kid for this time period

The teachers and staff are wonderful! Parents are very involved. PTA is very active and supportive.

Our new principal is beyond amazing!! We have been at Abby Reinke for 6 years with 6 more to go and it is amazing to see the mood and attitude of everyone at this school change for the better under the new leadership of Mr. Cole! So much positivity and fun has been brought back to our beloved neighborhood school. Couldn't be happier!!

We have been at ARES for 5 yrs. We have seen great success with both of our children. I give whatever time I can to be involved. The PTA is a great supporter of the school for positive success. The teachers are creating a place of academic achievement and integrating a core curriculum in order to help our children be their best everyday. As a community we are lucky to have a school where our children can practice educational freedom of thoughts and grow in practicality. Get involved to make a difference in your child's future. Don't leave it up to others.

I would give it a zero but it doesn't give the option. Principle has poor manners and makes for parents to feel uncomfortable and she continues to belittle parents.

This is our first year at this school, I have a Kindergartner and a 2nd grader. While the Kinder program is going great, the 2nd grade is not. Bullying is not addressed at this school only retaliation to bulling. The staff uses the ignore and avoid tactic which is HIGHLY ineffective. The principle doesn't not want the kids to learn how to socially interact just to avoid when problems arise. I do not like the policies of this school at all, small issues are blown out of proportion while the underlying problem is totally ignored. Parent concerns are met with cold condescending remarks by the principle, and then left unaddressed. Overall I think this school has potential to be great again, as long as they get rid of the current leadership.

Abby Reinke used to be a great school. A change of leadership has caused this school to plummet. The teachers are no longer excited to teach and just do the minimum they have to. The principal treats teachers, students, and parents as inconvenient parts to her job. After 6 yrs here, I had to do what was best for my children and leave. They are now getting the education they deserve somewhere else.

When I moved to Temecula from Fallbrook I was scared to put my kinds in public school. I have 3 boys who where all in private school. Abby Reinke was very helpful with my kids transition from private to public school. My oldest son in now in middle school and is an honor roll student . I still have 2 kids currently in Abby Reinke,they love it here. I absolutely love the new principal Ms.Boyd, she has made so many wonderful changes to the school. She has put so many after school program, like golf and also a lot more P.E. Ms.Boyd is a fabulous new addition to a already wonderful staff. I also would like to tell you about Margaret Atkinson she is the office clerk. Margaret is so nice, she great with the kids and treats each student as if they were her own. Abby Reinke has great test scores and the class size are just right, We love Abby Reinke!!!!!!

Our child started Kinder at Abby. Going in he was a very reluctant student. He struggled at first and his teachers in both K and 1st grade have gone out of their way to talk with us and come up with strategies at home to help him succeed. They have been nothing but positive with him even as they had to help "curb" his energy in the classroom. I'm very impressed with the teachers and the principal at the school and the community atmosphere that is encouraged. It's not all about test scores here. It is really about providing a positive atmosphere to learn and succeed in learning.

My 4th grader started school here. She has become such a great reader & confident child. She has come a long way because of all that Abby Reinke has to offer. I believe in the teachers at Abby. They all care very much & want our children to excel!

Posted: August 18, 2011

I have two children at this fabulous school. Yes, there have been a few bumps in the road, but they have always been handled appropriately. The teachers have been FANTASTIC to my kids and each year just gets better! We love the learning atmosphere at Abby Reinke!

My son has attended Abby Reinke for 3 years now, and as far a teachers go, it's a crap shoot. The first year was horrible, 2 teachers - one nice and one mean, the principal actually told me not to bring him to school on the days the mean one was working, luckily, we made it through the year. The next year was great no problems, loved his teacher, and now back in the same boat. He is struggling and he hates his teacher. She has told 3 different moms that their kids must have ADD or a learning disability, and she won't except any responsibility for any wrong doing . I have had an SST meeting, and the teacher blamed it all on me, and attendance. The principal is as cold as ice and dose'nt seem to care about anything other than your childs test scores. She wants to keep her prestigious school status. I have voulenteered, and helped the school with many fundraisers and have gotten nothing but blame for my son not meeting standards. Don't waist your time with this school, they only care about their status, not your childs education, or well being.

We pulled our son out of this school the 4th week of 3rd grade. He is now doing great in a local charter and is being tested for gate. I was very disappointed in Abby.. We loved his 2nd grade teacher and kindergarten. 1st and 3rd were a complete disappointment. I felt I needed to post this information to help others.

Posted: April 29, 2010

We love Abby Reinke. The teachers are fantastic. the new principal is very good and the whole astmosphere of the school/kids is outstanding.
