Everything is good , the only thing is the staff dont get the support from admin. In other words admin is not here to make employees happy. Those are the words that were said to an employee, and that really makes it hard to want to work there or even start a career there knowing the lack of support the staff has . Very sadden to see. ALL staff do such a good job for admin not to be supportive mentally , physically, and emotionally or when voicing concerns .

We have been at Breeze Hill for five years and have had excellent teachers every year. In general my son enjoys going to school and is excited about his learning. The last few years have seen much expansion in activities before and after school that we have really enjoyed. We have had experience in Scrabble club, math club, gardening club, running club, and choir. Staff is kind and caring and I believe really try to make kids and families feel welcome. Special education staff is excellent. The current principal, Mr. Reese, started in the '24-'25 school year and was joined by AP, Dr. Jackson, in '25-'26 - they are great communicators and leaders.

THIS IS REALLY THE BEST SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSE. Kids love to play and make friends and socialize and parents are making friends with them their kids parents. I love it.

I really cant say enough good things about Breeze Hill Elementary. The teachers and staff are amazing and truly care about the kids. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making the school a positive and supportive place.

My kids actually look forward to going to school every day, which says a lot. They feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn.

We also really appreciate the extracurricular programs they offer. The addition of a music teacher has been such a fun bonusmy kids love it!

Communication with families has been great, and it feels like the school really values keeping parents in the loop.

If youre thinking about sending your child here, Id definitely recommend it. Weve had a great experience and feel lucky to be part of this school community.

Overall everything is outstanding only main concern the main office sometimes has rude attitudes to attend parents dont have nice and welcoming attitudes

Posted: May 29, 2026

Weve had a wonderful experience at Breeze Hill! The teachers are caring, supportive, and truly invested in their students success. My daughter LOVES the after school care program and the fun events the school puts on throughout the year. We are grateful to be part of such a positive and welcoming school community.

I moved closer because I saw good reviews but as my kids attend this school we have had. I thing but issues with the school from kids being mean to teachers not caring. Its a treat if you find one that cares for your kid who struggles in school. They only care about attendance and test, which is crap. Schools shouldnt be jail they should teach and care about the kids well being but let me tell you, with all the issues we have seen they do not! Run!

All 4 of my kids had a great experience at this school. Teachers are great, kind and supportive. Front office staff is another story! But we cant have it all.

I have had kids at this school for 10 years. I have seen many ups and downs through the 5 principals and 8 teachers my children have had at this school. There is a rampant bullying problem that is not being addressed. There are teachers that do not want or know how to deal with issues and do not handle them properly. The school counselor is unavailable to children who request time with her. There are SPED students who are not provided resources they need and are left to disrupt classes without support. I am no longer able to say that we are happy at this school and my youngest child will finish elementary school somewhere else.

Breeze hill has some amazing teachers that go above and beyond and care about what they are doing. But they also have teachers that should not be teaching at all that dont like their job and it shows, which they shouldnt have . The reason they do is cause as nice as principal mAy seem he is a truck. He should have been a Dr. For his strengths are bedside manner . Not what you need in principal I have sat thru countless IEPs where other staff share their observations of teachers ignoring child not engaging child letting children get up and walk out while they just ignore it and principal does nothing . Or how bout when teacher refuses to be at iep principal does nothing. And attendance they will tell you your child must stay home till proven well because siblings is sick . Child must stay home ten days.. then shame you for your childs absences. You can ask a year in advance for a teacher plead your case, said teacher could be advocating for student and they just ignore your wishes. Its sad how bad school is when they have some amazing teachers.

My 3rd grader gets one sheet of homework a night

Posted: May 5, 2019

I appreciate this schools motto and the values they teach the children.

Posted: May 5, 2019

My daughters 3rd grade teacher is very aware of the different learning styles and abilities of the children in her class and trys to cater to all of them.

Posted: May 5, 2019

Very good! While Breeze Hill is quite large and I dont believe they get enough physical activity, we have been very happy with the school academically as well as the administration.

Posted: April 14, 2019

Our family have been a part of the Breeze Hill community since 1998. We have had great experiences with the teachers, staff, and administration. There is a fantastic, active PTA that works hard to provide programs, supplies, and activities for the students, teachers, and classrooms. We love Breeze Hill!

Ms. Wray is amazing! She is so good with the kids, great activities, patient, kind, includes parents, and the kids got a great education. She is amazing at her job! However, the kids at this school are really low quality. They don't treat each other nicely. Their peers are rude and there is very little supervision at lunch or recess. Mr. Green, although he looks like he's available and listening doesn't have a lot of follow through. Students display aggressive behavior and there is little to no consequences. The older kids would walk by the little kid lines and call them babies and make fun of them. The kids here were also very physical. The whole cultural climate wasn't one I would be comfortable in personally, and one I seriously question for elementary students. They really need campus supervisors that are respectful and lead by example. The way they talk to the children is unacceptable in my opinion. The front office is terrible, rude, uninformed, they should all be scrapped and start with people that like kids and know how to run an office. This is a school for rough children. Which is too bad because It's so awesome in so many other ways.

wonderful and I am so happy that my 5 year old will be attending K here!!! :)

Posted: May 17, 2013

This school doesn't feel very secure to me as a parent because you can just walk right through the front gate. The office staff is not very polite and no ID was checked when I picked up my son early. He loved his teacher though. There was a child picking on my son and when I brought this up to the teacher, she addressed it very quickly. We have since moved away, but my son was at breeze hill for most of the year. Not a bad school...

We love Breeze Hill! We are in our 6th year and have enjoyed every year here. We've seen three principals during this time, but are very happy that the current principal, Mr. Green, seems to be here to stay. I have never had to deal with any negative issues with him, so I cannot comment on how he is dealing with a problem, but in my opinion he is very optimistic and upbeat with the teachers and students and parents. My kids have enjoyed every teacher they've ever had and I have volunteered in their classrooms every week and am always impressed with their organization and passion to teach. The campus supervisors do a good job watching the children during lunch and recess, but I do think there should be more supervisors... two ladies watching 250+ students is not nearly enough. But they are all nice and do the best they can. The Breeze Hill PTA put on fun events throughout the year... Halloween Carnival, Father/Daughter dance, Mother/Son day in the park, family nights (my kids love the movie in the meadow), etc. I've never felt like the PTA are very 'clique-y', I think they've always been warm and welcoming and they work hard for the students and teachers- for FREE! LOVE BH!

My family moved to Vista last year from the Midwest, and we were not sure what to expect. As far as the quality of the education that my daughter received at Breeze Hill, I can attest that it is superior. Mrs. Sparks (1st grade) was SUCH an amazing teacher. My daughter tells me that she loves her teacher and that she is so sad for the school year to end, because she doesn't want to say goodbye to her teacher. Apparently, she is going to be teaching 3rd grade now. If you have an incoming 3rd grader, do see if you can get Mrs. Sparks! However, even the best of teachers cannot make up for lacking safety at the school. There is no where near enough supervision at this school. My daughter was bullied, hit, shoved, knocked down, had her shoes stolen off her feet, and was beaten with her own shoes. This all occurred at recess. It was always the same 2 boys doing it, and nothing bad ever really happened to them. Occasionally they would go to the principal for it, but he didn't seem to be big on punishment for repeat offenders. I give this school an A+ for education, C for extracurricular activities, and C- for supervision and safety.

It is not a horrible school, but I am looking to put my child elsewhere. My son went there for kindergarden. There is a lot of bullying at the school, and it seems like the teachers don't know how to handle it. When he first started there, he was telling us the he was getting hit almost every day, and when we found out who was doing it my husband went to ask the kid why he was hitting our son, but the teacher stopped him and said the parents were not allowed to talk to the kids about that, but she said nothing to the kid about the hitting. Well someone needs to talk to the kids about not hitting!! It got better as the school year went along, prolly b/c the kids starting getting to know eachother better. Safety is somewhat of a concern for me. I have a lot of my different family members pick up my son since I work, and the school never told me that I had to give them any of their names, so basically anyone can pick up the kids. Also, there were times when he stayed home from school sick and we didn't call the school thinking the school would call us since he did not show up for school, but they don't call when your kid doesnt show up. SCARY.

Regarding 3-15-12 - I couldn't agree more!! The attitude of the campus supervisors is disgusting! They are disrespectful to the students. The bulling is out of control, when a student tells you that someone is bothering them you don't tell them to stop being a tattle tail and go away. They have allowed the bullying to increase because of their lack of concern. The other problem is if you have (five)- 4th or 5th grade classrooms, each individual grade should have the same projects all year. Its not fair to have half of the 5th graders have to do a big year end projects and the other half do not. What is up with that?? The last issue for me was when it came time for the CST test, the school sent home letters saying have your kids in bed on time make sure they get their rest, They must attend school those weeks! Oh, and they will have FREE breakfast available for any of the students that would like it during those weeks of testing. OK shouldn't that be a given all year long minus the free food?? No they just want to make sure they get their money from the state. They take way more interest in the students during those weeks of school then they do all year long. Very disappointing!!

As far as the 3-2011 post, I would just like to say that #1, Mr Arnold is wonderful, yet he's retiring. We're crossing fingers as far as the next one. The pta is more than willing for any and everyone to volunteer their time to help, that is why they are there, to help. As an outsider who volunteers occasionally, I have seen their appreciation for additional help. Any sour apples aren't there anymore. This past year the pta planned an entire weeks worth of ways to thank the teachers. The teachers said it was the best teach/appr. week they ever had. There is new leadership next year, and they are always needing all the parents to support the school with time or however they can. Breeze Hill is a family. They do have a yearbook and the Gate program was a district wide problem b/c of funding. I am happy we moved because I like Breeze Hill BETTER than Lake. No complaints only good things to say....haven't experienced a bad teacher and next year will be our last before middle school.
