I also have to agree that Linda Vista has THE BEST PRINCIPAL ever!! She is very dedicated to her students on a personal level. She is also very hands - on, by over looking the car pool line, come rain or shine. However, my childs teacher does seem to be more harsh, than rewarding and not very relaxed. Students do need to have some fun, and could benefit by a teacher who knows how to relax and laugh with the kids from time to time. My child feels like she is attending a military school, instead of a public school. Maybe the combo classes aren't such a great idea, spreading a teacher too thin, even though they try and deny it. There is potential at this small school, but teachers do need to encourage and not discourage our students, who only want to please them....???

This was our first year here at Linda Vista, and I would have to agree with one of the other parent that wrote in. Some of the teachers could use a attitude adjustment. But then again my son learned some much at Linda Vista. The principal is awesome, she is always out in front in car line making sure that the kids get in the cars in a safe matter. I really had a hard time with the care line. New parents beware. I think the school needs to rethink the procedure on the car line. Hint...go about 20 minutes after school is out. There is less traffic. But all and all my kid had a great time.

This is our 5th year at Linda Vista Elementary in Orange and our experience (with 2 children) has been very positive. It's a relatively small school which provides a very nurturing environment for the kids. This makes it easy to get to know the other families and to feel like you belong. The teachers really care about the children and their success and the high test scores reflect that. Good behavior is rewarded and discipline is handled swiftly but in a positive and fair manner. The principal is very warm and approachable. Parent involvement is high and lots of quality programs are the result of many hours of hard work by the PTA. Our kids love it there and we as parents couldn't ask for a better school to send them to!

Linda Vista is a great school, but some of the teachers can use an attitude adjustment. My kids have been going there for 3 years now and this year is the first time I have heard my daughter complain that her teacher is mean.

Mrs. Thompson is an excellent principle. She cares about each child and spends time to get to know each one. She is making a difference every day.

Linda Vista Elementary in Orange is a great school due in great part to the outstanding parents that volunteer hundreds of hours, and the principal and teachers. The school has an excellent academic performance, with scores on the STAR tests typically way above the State average. The school is small, which gives kids a sense of community and makes them feel safe. There are several PTA-sponsored programs, including Art Masters, that provide a window to the arts, picking up where the State funding for schools drops off. The PTA-sponsored after-school Enrichment Program also provides extra-curricular activities. All of these programs, in addition to the dedication of the teachers and the principal make this a great school.
