We have been very happy at Alcott. Our children enjoy school and I am confident as a parent that my children are loved and educated here.

I only have a year experience with the school but I absolutely love the staff here. My UTK child is excited everyday to go to school and learn. The PTA is fairly active and the parents have been friendly. Small school with a big heart.

I love this school and all the staff I have come in contact with. The teachers have all shown how much they love their students and it's warming to my heart to know my kids are in the best hands when I am not with them. I love the message they are teaching my children and how focused they are on teaching students how to be be bucket fillers and all in all, helping to create good human beings.

This has been a wonderful school for our daughter. We did preschool during Covid times and teachers went above and beyond to keep my daughter interested in the online lessons. When she started TK in person we got a new principal that has been very focused in community So far everybody has been great and helpful. Love this place!

Does not keep the father informed about child and maybe doing it as they work with the mother solely.

Their integrity is already compromised. Lead by example and quite frankly I douby their leadership.
Posted: November 20, 2019
A true leader would know school is about the child & that child needs support from both mother and father. Neither parent should be left in the dark about their child!

I am in utter shock and sad that any parent would feel alienated by a school. My child danced through a school program at a sdsu football game & I had no clue. I have no clue about grades, homework, etc. Plus they dont call me back.

Don't know because they don't involve me as a father being parental alienated.

Our son absolutely loves this school, and although he is just in special education pre-K, he has shown tremendous gains thus far. The staff is great, Pricipal Riley is very accessible and involved and the teaching assistants are very caring too. He wants to go to school even on weekends...

My child has been at Alcott for three years and it has been an overall positive experience. I appreciate the diversity at the school and two of my child's teachers have been outstanding.

We have 2 daughters that have gone through Alcott. The smaller size, caring staff and results (above average grades) speak for themselves. We also apprecaite the high level of neighborhood families who attend.
