Mission Viejo Elementary quickly became one of my favorite schools as it checked both of those boxes and more. The devotion and love for students is evident throughout the entire school. Mr Pearson's leadership, heart and commitment is represented in his length of service as well as the long term staff in the school. I appreciate the energy, openness and value he and team place on not only preparing our kids but helping them feel "seen." I'm so sad this will be our last year in Elementary.

The principal is fabulous this year - I have seen him more this first semester than I ever did with Toliver. SOO happy we got a new one!

My girls have been going to this school for 2 years. Coming for Texas, we were not sure what to…read moreexpect. I am happy to say that I have been and continue to be impressed with the level of attention and instruction they receive. The school offers a variety of programs, many at no or low cost, for students both before and after school. This not only exposes the kids to something new (outside of the school day) but it excites them to go and participate during the day. While the teaching methods and curriculum took some getting used to, the girls were able to transition and excel in the new format. My only complaint with this is the grading. Instead of the alphanumeric scale (0-100 = A, B, C, etc) The students are graded on a 4 point scale with each number reflecting the areas the student has mastered.The teachers take a hands on approach, including keeping the lines of communication open to make sure the kids are getting the support they need. The principal, Mr. McDowell, is very friendly and always smiling. He is truly a positive force.
