Great teachers, great spirit especially around the holidays. After school program is excellent. Parents are heavily involved with extracurricular activities.

My kids came from a local school way behind. Within a week in school at Anza my one kid had 2x a week speech and reading AND math help (something I wish had been offered prior). She now no longer dialogues for reading because of the awesome group getting her up to reading standards. My son is fast c...

This school is OK. If you have a basically average kid, they’ll probably do fine. If your child has special talents, special needs, or both, consider looking elsewhere.

There're a few great teachers who truly shine, but lacking in all other extra curricular areas such as music, art, etc. No leadership, everything needs to be run by volunteers and PTAs and private funding/donations.. putting most burdens on parents.
