Del Mar Elementary School
Amazing and wonderful. Both of my children attended (attend) and had the best education from great teachers who accommodated their learning needs from day 1. (They are both accelerated) Most schools just make kids do what everyone else is doing. Del Mar treated my kids with respect and didn't insult them by making them repeat what they already knew. Thank you.
