This is an amazing school. The teachers are experts in making sure the kids feel they are approachable at any time. The school is a small setting, which allows everyone to be comfortable and feel safe in their environment.

The best thing about Grauer is a story my son told me while driving to school after three years of attending Grauer. He said "I was nervous to go the first day, but the teachers made me feel comfortable and that's what made me sleep better at night ." What more could I ask for as a parent. The willingness to help your students achieve their goals is what makes Grauer special.

Wonderful school environment. Even though the class size is small my children have managed to create friends in other grade levels. The diversity is just fine, better than Encinitas public schools so very skeptical about why that category was rated lower. We are new to the school this year so my comment will be shorter for now.

Do not recommend. Teachers are rude and mainly give out busywork. They did not make learning fun. Would rather go to a huge school for free than a tiny one that is way too expensive.
