Silver Gate Elementary is a wonderful school! It is inconspicuously placed in the middle of a…read moreresidential area right between Ocean Beach and Point Loma. At one time when my son was younger, it was a science magnet school but I don't think it is anymore. My brothers and I are all alumni of Silver Gate so of course, there will be a soft spot in my heart for this school. I haven't been to Silver Gate in a while but I dropped my neighbor's daughter off there for school not too long ago. The campus is still the same. The big auditorium next to the cafeteria; the large play field sandwiched right in the middle of the school. The Kindergarten located right above it all and the very convenient drive-thru alley that goes right down the side of the school. That alley is perfectly adapted for parents to just cruise down and drop their kids off at the end. No hassles with traffic or crosswalks or school cops! Simple and clean. As for the academics of Silver Gate, I think the school is just a few points behind nearby Sunset View Elementary School when it comes to test scores. I read that it is among the few public elementary schools in California to receive a distinguished GreatSchools Rating of 9 out of 10. I also know there is a lot of community spirit around the school. The parents are very supportive and turn out in large numbers for school events.Silver Gate Elementary School hosted a inaugural Holiday Tree Sale on Dec. 4 of last year to raise money for the Silver Gate Foundation. The Silver Gate website is full of notices for jog-a-thons, bake sales, restaurant fund-raisers, and silent auctions-all to raise money and benefit the school. With the School Choices program that San Diego Unified allows parents to take part in, there is absolutely no reason that any parent should shy away from placing their children in the best possible educational environment. Even if you are not as prosperous economically as some of the fine folks whose kids go to Silver Gate, it is not a snobby school by any means of the imagination. 5 YELP STARS (and not just cuz I went there!)

It's universally felt by students, parents, and staff, "School is Great at Silver Gate." If you…read morelive in Point Loma, do your best to choice into this wonderful school. You and your kids will feel an immediate sense of community and school pride. The education is way better than I expected from the public school system. The parental fundraising provides an enhanced computer, science, PE program, plus a brand new sports field. The after-school activities are varied (Spanish, sports, STEM, etc). There is also after-school "Character Builders" program hosted by YMCA until 6pm. My one and only complaint is that the 7:40am is too early of a start for my family-this originally had me more interested in Sunset View for the 9am start time, but now that we feel the love of Silver Gate, we would never switch schools.

An Amazing Christian School!…read more Our kids have been attending The Rock Academy for the past three years, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. It truly is an amazing Christian school where students are not only receiving an excellent education, but are also encouraged to grow in their faith, character, and relationship with God. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and go above and beyond to create a loving, supportive, and Christ-centered environment. We have seen our children grow academically, personally, and spiritually during their time at The Rock Academy. What we love most is that the school feels like a community--a place where faith, education, and strong values come together. We are so thankful for all the teachers, staff, and families who have made these past three years so special for our children. We feel truly blessed to be part of The Rock Academy family and highly recommend this school to any family looking for a Christ-centered education.

My son came from a wonderful elementary school, but I must say he was overwhelmed with a homework packet which he worked on for 3-4 hours each night. I didn't realize there is a better way to teach children. The project-based learning at HTM is so much better than repetitive- based packets! Last year my sons HTM projects included: Designing a campaign ad for underdeveloped regions that are being overtaken by rebels, writing a letter to their government, collaborating with his group to produce a hand-painted, large scale interactive map complete with home made clay tablets, pyramids, houses, volcanoes, etc, of his chosen region (beautifully done), seting up power-point presentations and videos, writing and producing videos, simulating a home made water cleansing system, explaining his knowlege of earthquakes, demonstrating how to solve math problems, and so much more! All of these projects are shown to the parents in a POL, Presentation of Learning, where the kids dress up in business clothing, (yes, the boys wear ties) and conduct their presentation in front of 8 parents and their teachers. It is so amazing to see how confident, enthusiastic, and tremendously knowledgeable these young kids are are in front of a audience! The parents are allowed to ask questions afterwards and you cannot stump these kids with any question! They know the information inside and out. They are our future leaders! I have a tear in my eye each time I see a presentation. HTM is the best! Project-based learning is how kids should be taught! God bless the creators of all HTM / HTH schools!

Dewey Elementary is a school squeezed into the Midway area, educating students from military…read moredependent housing at Liberty Station and Gateway Village. The school is close to the many commercial and government facilities in the area and right next to a Starbucks. On the weekend, I like to park in the roomy Dewey parking lot, if all the parking spots are taken--as they usually are-- near Starbucks. Dewey has class levels from preschool through fourth grade and the very best thing: FREE after-school childcare. In the Peninsula area, there are people who look down on Dewey because the students are always transitioning in and out, due to frequent moves by their military families. Dewey was (and still might be) a year-round school and I actually knew people where I live that would enroll their kids there to keep them in school during the long, hot summer months. Dewey Elementary is kind of long in the tooth but I have noticed that they have been making some improvements lately. Best of all, a new security gate has been installed, where before the school was wide open for anybody to traipse right in. This school has a very specific purpose: it is to educate the children of military dependents and others who enroll there. I guess I have to say Yay! I'm a fan.
