Peter Marshall Elementary School, K-6 (Public)

This school has very dedicated teachers, a new principal with great ideas, and lots of extra curricular activities. Despite state budget cuts their test scores have continued to be competitive.

While I am disappointed at what California public schools in this area fail do offer, due in part to budget concerns, Peter Marshall has some amazing teachers. Mrs. Erickson and Mrs. Yourshaw are 2 of the best teachers I have ever met.

My children have been attending Marshall for 5 years. The availability of sports is limited. My children advise me that P.E. is running around the yard and that is it. maybe 1x or 2x a week. I do see parent involvement. The discipline could be better, and safety from bullies could be watched more.

My oldest daughter has attended Peter Marshall for four years and my youngest just started this year. Most of the teachers are great and really love their job. The PTA works very hard for the school. My only complaint is the large hispanic non-english speaking population. There needs to be more stress on learning the english then accommodating them. However, we do have ELD classes, a new preschool class, and free english classes. Despite this language problem, we have very active parents. We are proud of our school!

This school, like the others in the district,stresses math and reading. Not as much emphasis is placed on social studies and science. Music is available, but there is no specified computer lab time. Parent involvement is good.

I have loved Peter Marshall school and the teachers there. My son has been there since 3rd grade and is graduating this year. I only hope that my daughter has the opportunity to attend there also. They are wonderful and the teachers are great.
