Cabrillo Elementary School

I absolutely love this school!!!
This 2013 – 2014 school year has been amazing for my little 3^rd grader. We spent 3 years at another school in the neighborhood only to find out that this school is so much better and organized!
The staff and teachers are so kind and loving and my child is surpassing my expectations with all the knowledge he has gained since his transition.
I sure hate that we will be moving to another state and will not be able to attend for the 2014 – 2015 school year.
This school is amazing and we will miss it dearly.

I brought up a safety concern to the principal and he flat out told me it wasn’t going to be corrected because it was a minor inconvenience to the staff. That’s unacceptable. You can nurture and have an eskimo language program for all I care. When I send my kids to school, I’d like to think that at least the staff is willing to comply with a simple request to help keep my kids safe. But nope. But you better believe the principal had the time and energy to call me up and pester me to fill out a special form so they could get more money from the gov’t. Really?
I’d be more impressed if my principal were to get on the phone and lobby the school board and superintendent to stop wasteful bussing programs and educating illegals instead of asking me to help spend more taxpayer $$$. Oh well, we can dream can’t we?
On the bright side, we have had some teachers here that I have no complaints about, and my child has seemed to learn well. And the principal seems to be doing a good job aside from my complaint mentioned above.

Amazing school!
Three years ago Cabrillo became a GATE (gifted & talented education) Nurturing school, so all kids starting in KG are taught using GATE methods. The campus is safe & secure; still small enough to feel like everyone knows your child. All teachers are GATE certified and hold Master’s degrees. Lots of extras like VAPA, Ruben H. Fleet Science outreach, German language, Point Loma Naz. tutors. School still has PE, Library and computer lab.
Hidden jewl… awesome school!
