They had food trucks selling shaved ice and snow cones, arts and crafts, food and snacks, games, a DJ, and live performances by their lion dance team, hula dancers, and martial arts team. I was amazed by how talented the students were. I've seen a lot of professional lion dancers and the performances by these kids were comparable! They did such an excellent job! The school did a wonderful job planning this event, but their greatness doesn't end here. According to my niece, all of her teachers have been awesome! She actually looks forward to coming to school and is sad when it's summer or winter break because she misses her teachers and classmates. The school has a strong academic program and is one of San Diego's best! Lion pride shines bright at Jonas Salk!

Not only is it one of the few schools in the country to be awarded a blue ribbon, but it also has some of the highest test scores in San Diego. The Principal is outstanding.

We tried it for 3 yrs before I had had enough. Each child had a good teacher and then a bad teacher and back again. It was a disaster. We moved all three of them to a private school and they thrived outside of PUSD! So much for the great track record at PUSD. lol. Don't move into the district thinking the kids will have a great education. It was all about the minimum and it showed in their teachers.

Of course even more biased because I have been on the PTA here for the last 10 years. Gotta put a plug in for the PTA....but they work hard to make sure our staff and kids get 100% support! Mr. T set high standards for this school and with our new principal Mr. Lee he has even set the bar higher. They have both done an extremely awesome job with the school. We have a lot of activities that we do for the kids from our money making Fall Festival, Spring Jog-a-thon, Family Movie Nights, Family Dance, etc. Casa Mira View across the street is a tremendous assistant financially to our school. Perfect place to live so the kids can walk right across the street. Our PTA supports an awesome art program through Art Corps. This allows the kids to learn 8 fantastic art lessons which we then present at the end of the year at our Art Show. With the support of our PE program headed by Mr. Kaneko the PE also helps fund our Swim Program. Grades 3-5 take part in a twice a week swim program for 6-8 weeks in the Spring. Our 5th graders get a one week full of fun before their promotion in June that 2 of my 3 have the pleasure of enjoying. I can go on and on about the school....message me if you ever have any questions. I also work at this school is a special education assistant, because I love this school so much =)

I have seen a difference in his behavior since joining her class. He has high energy, easily stimulated, and hard to keep on track. He is still all these things but always talking about how he is going to make good choices and have a calm body at school and outside of it. He is always saying " I like Park Village" and "I'm a penguin" The TK playground is awesome, he came home one day learning how to do the monkey bars! Another bonus he really enjoys the school lunches. The ladies in the office are great as well. We've been late a few time, I think after the first or second time, they remembered him. So far our experience at Park Village has been very positive and I am grateful for Mrs. Racheal and her aids!

Even with all the budget concerns that have hit schools statewide, my wife and I have felt that our kids have not suffered at this school and there is a feeling of the teachers trying harder to connect with the kids. The school offers many activities to get the parents involved and it has a real sense of community. The PTA is very active and the school also includes a DAD's group which does many activities throughout the year with regards to routine maintenance, pancake and sausage breakfast, astrology night and movie nights to name a few. It is located in a wonderful neighborhood and we were very lucky to find this gem.

She opened doors and opportunities we never expected, and we will always be grateful for the positive impact she had on his life and future.

Teachers often tell me that as long as I am in school and in class, my grades and work don't matter. I was punished with having multiple grades lowered despite doing work because I was in the hospital. Drug use and bullying is extremely common here, little is done to stop it. Kids are reckless on bikes and motorbikes. Suspension and detention policies are too loose. My entire time here, 6th to 8th, was very depressing and filled with bullying. Students can be forced to go no contact with others rather than have civil conversations. I wish I never attended.

This school is smaller than the nearby Sage, Del Mar Heights, and Ashley Falls. I like the more sheltered, secluded feeling here. The community overall seems to be comprised of families with younger children, and it is more conservative than the other schools. Not much school spirit, but that's probably because there have been a lot of changes, not only in the district, but with new principals every few years. Parent participation is a bit weak, and fund-raising not as good as the surrounding schools. This school just doesn't have a well-oiled system in place. It is clearly evident, when you look around, that the majority of the families in this school are Asian. Not very involved in participating in the school, other than in the Science Olympiad. This school is known for having a very strong science department/team, that participates at the middle school level. And since the school does not have a cafeteria, the new Choice Lunch program was a great change this year. They have a app to order, manage, change, and cancel lunches within a 24 hour period and it bills a credit card directly!
