Visitacion Valley Elementary School
Robert: This ia wonderful school! We felt so bad to leave this school due to our financial cut backs from both our jobs. Everybody in the school were nice and the school gives you a peaceful, accepted feeling when you enter. You see smiling faces and giggling kids where ever you go. Me and my wife will truly miss that school and our children has learned so much from them! We can tell the difference from when we tranfered them from Hillcrest to Our lady. Not only did our children get extra help, but they really started to know the material and they were taught to love and respect thier parents. I rate this school very high because they helped them so much!
