If you care about your child's education and mental well-being, do not send them to Cole Canyon…read moreElementary School. My child experienced relentless bullying while attending this school, and it had a devastating impact on her mental health. When she reached out to the principal and counselors for help, she was dismissed instead of supported. No child should ever be felt this way under any circumstance but maybe that's just what I think for all I know. The academics were just as disappointing. Instead of providing engaging instruction, many classes consisted of students watching YouTube videos that still left all the kids confused. My child left this school feeling unprepared academically and emotionally. The trauma my daughter experienced here is something our family is still dealing with. She is now in middle school, and she has repeatedly said she would never want anyone else to go through what she experienced at this school. Based on our experience, I strongly urge parents to look elsewhere. No school is perfect, but this was indeed the worst experience our family has ever had. Please do your research before enrolling your child I would not recommend this school to anyone.

They need to dress more appropriately for teachers as they are setting a bad example. Also why odd they need to wear stilettos? Weird and uncomfortable not to mention how you going to run after the stragglers and kids that don't listen. Two stars minus due to the children have to eat outdoors with the cold/hot weather and bugs. No indoor cafeteria really strange. Second star is due to pick up rules...can't pick up at main gate need to park illegally and walk over, not safe. They lock the gate! Strange system.

Van Avery Prep was my children's home (and mine) for 15 years ( I have 3 children ), I can not…read moreimagine what our lives would look like without them. Van Avery was a lot like our extended family; as a working mother it was very important for me to have my children somewhere where I knew they were cared for and somewhere that understood our needs as a family. My children excelled in High School academically and socially because of the strong base they developed while at Van Avery, they were both challenged and encouraged. They developed confidence in speaking in front of people ( lots of practice) and they develop the skills to communicate effectively, essentially they became equipped to enter High School and take advantage of all it has to offer. My children have all graduated from college now and I do give credit in part to Van Avery for their accomplishments. My children and I built long life friendships with our Van Avery contemporaries and continue to share our lives with them. Enrolling my children at Van Avery Prep was hands down the best decision I made regarding my children's education.

Special education Ms.cindys class…read more My son has (Moderate) autism and non verbal (he only knows a few words). He would come home with scratches/scrapes and I was never told how he got them. I would email ms.cindy and the respond was always that she'll ask who ever my son was with that day or she'll say that they don't remember seeing my son fall or anything. She would send my son home with a sweater that wasn't his sometimes, his water bottle went "missing" at school somehow, and when it came to IEP meetings she would schedule, but would forget to cancel or would try and act like I forgot we had an IEP meeting whenever she did. During the meetings she seemed unprepared. I now know never to sign an IEP until it's all in paper because teachers say one thing, but write another thing in the IEP. At the end of the school year she kept suggesting for my son to attend another school. Did I forget to mention she called cps claiming my son had belt marks, hand marks, and bruises on him? He didn't.

They chose not to be by calling and canceling their mid-review. None of the children have accreditations. If anyone would like more information please let me know. Furthermore, Sherry Marino was instructed by Mical Bell Andrews to not allow my son, that has known health issues, to go to the health room or call home when he was ill. This was brought to my attention by employees and I have declarations from several faculty. My son suffers from chronic stomach issues and was witnessed sitting through his lunch AND recess with his head on the table in pain after being refused to go to the health room. This school is horrible and nobody seems to want to talk about. I will not be quiet about the continued abuse these poor children are experiencing. When I addressed these issues I was met by a noncaring board member named Jennifer Bursch that could care less about the abuse my son had been through. Her emails were cruel and denying without any concern whatsoever for the truth or facts. I am beside myself at the non Christlike actions of this school and their board of directors. This school has done nothing but deteriorate since Mical Bell was allowed to reside as principal.

They did a test and claims my son is not autistic so they are not going to treat him as such since according to their test results he is NOT autistic. I know this does not do with the school but to the district of Temecula if your kid is not physically showing a disability they are not allowed to ride the bus. Also they just let kids get bullied and they don't do anything about it. In the morning If it's raining outside they are not allowed to go inside they have to stand in the rain till the bell rings and they open the gates then they are allowed to go in. I can go on and on of all the crap this school has put my kids through but I do not have enough characters to do so. Please avoid this school as much as possible. If i could give it 0 stars I would.

Out of the four 2nd grade teachers we became familiar with, she was by far the best. Academically - speaking she is rigorous and does not pass out As easily - one a sign of a good teacher. When my son started to struggle, she contacted us regularly in order to help us help him - maybe a more important sign of a good teacher. He eventually got his grades back up. A final sign of an exceptional teacher is a love for teaching and truly caring about students - which she clearly does. What a great combination - high expectations for academic achievement, good feedback on assignments and exams, and empathy for students. NVES is very lucky to have her!
